Publisher's Summary

The Five People You Meet in Heaven: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination; it's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Mitch Albom at their finest

A short and heart warming story about the differences strangers make in our lives and the impact we have on others. Religion aside this book offers a heart warming interpretation of the after life by exploring what really matters in life.

loved every chapter.

I’m not surprised that I loved this book as much as I did. Mitch is a brilliant writer. I found myself on the verge of tears at certain points. I really got the message. This book was beautifully written, and I highly recommend.

Wonderful story

Not only was the story amazing, but I just want to highlight how great the overall production of this audiobook was. From the soft melodies of the piano playing in the background, to set the mood for the start of the chapter or occuring spontaneously throughout, to the brilliant voice acting of the narrator, I really enjoyed the addition of these things.

I love when authors narrate their own books, and listening to Mitch Albom read, applying his own accents and emphasis on certain parts, made the story much more enriched and marvelous to listen to.

Thank you, and I highly recommend this audiobook.
