The Next Person You Meet in Heaven

Rounding up a 3.5 to 4. As one would expect from Mitch Albom, this book is not to be read in public because you'll cry like a baby - so full points for that.

The lessons behind the story is beautiful as always—another Albom trademark, but I thought the story itself was mediocre at best.

spoilers ahead


But...





Why would Annie get a preview of heaven when she isn't really dead? Is she gonna meet five more people when she die-dies?

Also, I just don't feel the pay-off fully, there's so much grief and hurt even after the five rounds of explanation. I really wish Annie could've been let off the hook of life instead.
