Book Review of The Next Person You Meet in Heaven (Five People You Meet in Heaven, Bk 2)

The Next Person You Meet in Heaven (Five People You Meet in Heaven, Bk 2)
Helpful Score: 2


The Next Person You Meet In Heaven brings back two characters from the first book The Five
People You Meet In Heaven. We revisit Eddie a maintenance man who died saving a little girl named Annie. Annie is now a grown woman about to get married. Tragedy comes for Annie again and she has to face a past she does not remember.


I love all of Mitch Albom's books. They are written simply, smoothly, and full of emotion. None of the characters are perfect, as we find this in Annie. Even after her rescue her life still had many ups and downs. Like most people, the downs of life are the ones that stick and hard to shake off.


I am not sure about the ending. Like most of Albom's books, it ends with emotions high and I did not guess the ending beforehand.


I enjoyed this one it is probably in my top five of Mitch Albom books, first being For One More Day. I also feel you could read this one having not read the first book. I am looking forward to what book is coming next.
