An interesting book, but probably one I'll not pick up to
read again. Very well written!
Eddie is a 'blue collar' worker. He grows up with an abusive
father, goes off to war, is wounded, comes home. He marries his sweetheart, and
they stay in the same place he was raised in, and he takes his father's job at
the amusement park until the end.
It isn't often one picks up a book that begins with the
death of the protagonist, but this is a story about death and heaven, and the
five people he will meet there. They are not always the ones expected.
I've read several books on death, dying, and what happens
next, and I did find this one interesting. I especially like Albom's idea of
heaven, and what one may find there. Put this book in the bag to take to the
beach, or out to the hammock.
