In "Five People You Meet in Heaven", Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife -- and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction. I personally enjoyed reading this book, also watching the television series. On his eighty-third birthday, Eddie, a lonely war veteran, dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his -- and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he

learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever.

One by one, Eddie's five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

Gone with the Wind,an American novel published in 1936 won the Pulitzer Prize for its author, Margaret Mitchell, in 1937. One of the best books I have ever read so far, it also has the best screenplay adaptation of a book, enough to get it ten Academy Awards, including Best picture.

Critics and historians regard the book as having a strong ideological commitment to the cause of the confederacy and a romanticized view of the culture of the antebellum South.
