Did you know, that this book, The People You Meet in Heaven, was my first ever book that I read? I’m not really fond of reading because I find it quite boring (sorry to the people who loves/likes to read). I read this because my sister was reading it, and I got curious, so, I ended up reading it.

The book is about Eddie. Eddie is the main character. He is old and works at the carnival. He checks and fixes the rides that he thinks is broken and needs to be fixed. He worked in the carnival for so long that he knows when there is something wrong by just listening to it. He also has a wife, whose name is Margueritte he loved her very, very much. Then one day, just an ordinary day, he noticed, just by listening to it, that there was something wrong in a particular ride. When he found out what it was, he was too late to say the problem to his co-workers.
Enough said. READ the book (to people who have not read it yet), try to find out what happened. I promise you that it will be “worth reading”. J

Mitch Albom, the author of the book, did a really good job. In fact, I consider the book a page turner. Once I held the book, I cannot stop reading it. The book has so many lessons to teach us, readers. For example, there should be PEACE all over the world so that no innocent lives would be spared (when there was a war, a girl named Tala got burned and Eddie did not have any chance to save her because it was too late because of the fire).
And lastly, life needs to end, BUT love does not (no contractions! J). Even if Margueritte left Eddie, Eddie never stopped loving her. Until, Eddie met her in heaven, so did he met the other 4 people.
