Look, do not go another day without reading this book. It is just fantastic. I loved it. It was amazing, and now it is the best book that I have read. I loved it. Mitch Albom is my favourite author, by far, and I think I might have a slight man crush on him (in a platonic way, of course).
This book is about his uncle, who dies, and meets five people as he enters into Heaven. I am not going to spoil the story for you, by telling you about it, suffice to say that the five people are special people from his life, and each one is there to give his uncle a key message about the life that he lead on earth.
See, Mitch's uncle was a maintenance man at a theme park, and he worked there well past his retirement years. He died doing a great deed, though he never ever really accepted the value that he added to the world during the course of his life - that was until he met five people on his way to heaven.
Look, I asked my wife to read this book, and she was not as taken by it as I was, but I just loved it. I read it in a day, and I cried on the plane, as I was reading it. Loved it.
I have since read another Mitch book, and have got another on the list, too.
