The concept is in the title. When you die, you meet five people in heaven. These five people help you understand certain things about your life. They may help you understand how interconnected we all are, or how forgiveness is healing, or whatever. I found the concept fascinating, and wondered about the five people I might meet.
The book follows an old man, who dies. He meets people in heaven he might not have expected to meet, including a man he only saw once, but whose life he changed. He also meets people he might have expected to meet, including his wife. This is a very quick read, but if you are easily touched, have tissues ready!
While the story was good, the concept is fabulous. I can’t help but wonder about the five people, and, perhaps more importantly, whose life lessons I might help teach. All in all, well worth the read.
