Back to Earth

I just finished reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven this morning. I thought it was pretty good. It was a happy ending, I mean, how can it not be? The whole book is set in heaven, kind of. It was interesting. Albom has a real imagination and an interesting perspective on possible lessons we'll all learn after we die. It's not super cheesy or philosophical or anything, there's a definite plot line to the story. There had to be for the author to keep the reader's attention. The main character learns that even though he messed up and killed an innocent little girl in WWII, he made up for it the rest of his life by keeping kids safe on amusement park rides. It works out, I guess. The big theme of the novel is that everything you do, and every person you meet affects you, and affects everyone else. It's all one big story. Life that is.
