Critical Praise

“Think of Mitch Albom as the Babe Ruth of popular literature, hitting the ball out of the park every time he’s at bat.” –Andrea Sachs, TIME

***

“Mitch Albom is a fearless explorer of the wishful and magical, he is also a devout believer in the power of love. --James McBride, author of The Color of Water

***

“Mitch Albom has never failed to delve into the depths of relationships, the sometimes dark and mysteriously gray areas of our interactions with people. He has pondered what we learn in our day-to-day intersections with those we love and those we hardly know, those anchors we’ve lost, those we’ve simply shaken hands with.” -Bookreporter.com

***

“What I like in his books is that the characters are working-class heroes and everyday people” – Guillaume Musso, best-selling French author – Paris Match, December 2006

***

“Mitch Albom sees the magical in the ordinary” -- Cecilia Ahern

Críticas

The Five People You Meet in Heaven é uma fábula cuja principal moral é a de que não há vidas insignificantes. Todas as pessoas acabam por tocar outras pessoas, e ser tocadas por elas, de uma maneira ou de outra. Não descobre a pólvora, mas relembra-nos aquilo que, no fundo, já sabemos: que as nossas acções, por mais pequenas, têm consequências, não só para nós, mas também para os outros, por vezes influenciam até pessoas que não conhecemos.

Conta-nos a história de Eddie, que morre no dia do seu 83º aniversário ao tentar salvar uma menina. Ao chegar ao céu é-lhe dito que irá encontrar 5 pessoas e que essas mesmas pessoas irão ajudá-lo a perceber o significado da sua vida na Terra. E só aí Eddie percebe que a sua vida, ao contrário do que pensava, não foi insignificante, pelo contrário, teve muita importância para muita gente, especialmente para as famílias que ajudou a manter seguras simplesmente por fazer o seu trabalho de manutenção nas atracções do parque de diversões onde trabalhava.

Gostei muito da noção de céu imaginada pelo autor, mas depois de ter lido algumas opiniões sobre o livro, estava à espera de uma história que me comovesse, o que não aconteceu.
