_________
To his mind, Eddie has lived an uninspiring life. Now an old man, his job is to fix rides at a seaside amusement park.
On his eighty-third birthday, Eddie's time on earth comes to an end. When a cart falls from the fairground, he rushes to save a little girl's life and tragically dies in the attempt. When Eddie awakens, he learns that the afterlife is not a destination, but a place where your existence is explained to you by five people - some of whom you knew, others who were ostensibly strangers.
One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, five individuals revisit their connections to Eddie on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his 'meaningless' life and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: 'Why was I here?'

– Eddie is a bitter war-wounded veteran who is not pleased with the road his life has taken. He spends his days fixing rides at a seaside amusement park, and thinking about how his life is meaningless. Then, on his 83rd birthday, he gets a carousel cart in the head while trying to save the life of a little girl. When he awakes hes in heaven. Here he meets five people who all made a difference in his life, whether he was aware of it or not. They all teach him a lesson, and along the way he learns to understand his life, and why it in fact was far from meaningless. Luckily for us, we get to learn the same lessons while we are still alive, which is a good thing. The five people you meet in heaven is a great comfort book, good for those bleak and dreary days. Despite the title (which my mom found terribly depressing) its really a book about life, and a good one at that. This book will make you both sad and happy, and in the end it will fill you with warm fuzzy feelings.
