Summary: What a Great Book
Comment: I could not put this book down. I had waited patiently to read it, but when I finally received it, it took me about two hours to read it.
Eddie is a somewhat bitter, tired man, who at the start of the book, doesn't realize he just has an hour left to live. The book takes you through the details of the last hour of his life, and then introduces you a new idea of Heaven. In the Heaven that Eddie goes to, he meets 5 people who either touched his life or he touched theirs. The characters are delightful, down to earth, and very believable.
This is a must read!

Summary: Sip. Don't gulp
Comment: Not many pages. Easy reading font Double spaced. One could read this book waiting for a bus. Gulp it down. BUT DON"T! This is what us Southern folk call a "sippin' book". You'll read a few pages, put the book down, ponder... Its like slowly eating Swiss creme--filled chocolate by a mountain stream compared to chowing on a Hershey in the car.
I won't spoil the plot. Its a very simple plot but has a few twists.

Summary: A Great Book!
Comment: This book is fiction; something he dreamed up about a man who dies, goes to Heaven, and has introductions to five people who were in his life. The first, the middle and the last he had never met. And then there are his wife and the captain of his army squad. Everyone thinks they choose the people that are in their lives; school friends, camp friends, team friends, spouse/partner, children, coworkers. But how much do you really control about who plays major roles in your life? Not one bit. Do you control who the kids are in your neighborhood while you grow up? or, the man who picks up your trash? What happened when a bottle you trashed out the car window hit the ground? Or did it go backwards and hit a car behind you? Every action has a reaction...of some sort. I don't want to give away what happens, the book is short as it is. You learn that Heaven is personal; a fairgrounds for some, a diner for others. In this book, each person Eddie the dead meets tells him what happened to them because of Eddie (or, to someone who affected Eddie's life, like his father). It is all an effort to help Eddie understand why his life was as it was. Why was his father so abusive? Why would he be dreaming of children? What ever happened to his captain, and what is the story behind his bum leg? The horrors of war, the job he hates.... This is a glorious but sad story. Eddie understands everything, but isn't off the hook for things that happened (albeit he is in Heaven). This book is simply beautiful! Don't Miss it. Another winner is the Amazon quick-pick: The Losers Club by Richard Perez
