The story is about Eddie, an 83-year old man working in an amusement park who dies saving a girl from a falling cart.
In this book, Mitch Albom tells us about a different 'heaven'. Instead of the Garden of Eden, is a place where you had your life explained to you by people who were in it.

The ending, where he met the fifth person. It was very emotional and I cried a lot.

Like I need to pay more attention to everyone who's around me, touching and changing my life even without me knowing it.

This story really tugs at the heart-strings!
Lots of lessons are in it too!

As far as I can remember, I cried at every meeting except the one with the second person, his Captain.

What I love about Eddie was how much he loved and still loved (even after death) Marguerite, his wife. Their bond is definitely wonderful!
