Great Book

Albom, Mitch The five people you meet in heaven
Heart
Public Library
Non-Fiction

The book I did was called the five people you meet in heaven. In this book the main character named Eddy is a mechanic at a Ruby pier which is kind of like a theme park. And the story is about him dying and going to heaven and getting to talk with five people that he either impacted there life or they had an impact on his life. The thing is each of these people had a specific role in his trip to heaven, and with each person he sees he learns a lesson. But the question is what lessons we need to learn.
This book is a really great book. If I had to rate this book on a ten point scale I would give it a eight and a half. Why I would do this is because It is a very interesting book that incorporates everything. It has drama, it has action, it has everything. But the only thing that is keeping it from a ten is that it does get pretty boring at times, but for recommendations I would totally recommend this to any high school student. It is very entertaining and is good for people like me who hate reading, because it actually can keep your attention.
The purpose of this book is to strictly entertain. It also has many lessons you could apply to your life depending on how you interpret it. But like I said in the previous paragraph it has a lot of good stuff to it and is a lot of fun to read.
In this story it had many different types of characters. The main character in the book was named Eddy, who was a mechanic at Ruby Pier. The first character he meets is called Blue Man who was a side show performer who worked at Ruby pier when eddy was a boy. Another character was called Captain which was the second person he meets in heaven. The third person he meets is Rudy. The fourth person he meets is Marguerite, who was eddy’s long time lover. The final person he meets in heaven and the last real main character was the little girl named Tala who was the little girl he tried to save before he died.
In my opinion this book was one of the better books I have read this year. This book would be great for any readers in high school or older. Once more this book is a book full of everything you could want in a book but the main thing is that Albom does a really good job of keeping you awake. So I would not hesitate to go and pick this book up, because I know you won’t regret it.
