The Five People You Meet in Heaven- Mitch Albom

Everybody talks about this book and on the recommendation of a friend I read it. It was cute, but it really wasn't worth all the talk. I guess the idea is to maybe give people a different perspective of what death is all about. I think I've had enough time here in Burkina to think about a number of topics including death to the point of exhaustion so I didn't really get too much out of it. To sum it up I'd say the main point is that everything in life is not always about you and sometimes you need to consider how your actions and inactions affect others. It's too short of a book not to read so you might as well get this one out of the way just to say you read it.
