I thoroughly enjoyed "The Five People You Meet In Heaven," author Mitch Albom's latest novel. My copy which my daughter had presented me with on my birthday (not realizing that I've always hated listening to talking books!) was articulated personally by the author in a series of four one-hour-long compact discs that I fully expected would lull me off to sleep long before the batteries on my CD player wore out.
As it was, the fact that it was read to me in the author's tongue-in-cheek beautifully enounciated style, actually added an extra dimension to my enjoyment. The story revolves around the life of a seemingly unremarkable old man who dies while attempting to save a little girl's life. The author introduces the concept of a place called Heaven to tell the old man's story. Five people reveal themselves to the recently-deceased man in order to explain various poignant, previously unknown aspects to him regarding past events.
