Title: I Know It's a Huge Bestseller, but. . . .
Review: . . . I just wish it weren't so superficial. "Five People" is well-written and you're hooked early on by wanting to know the outcome of the situation in which Eddie dies. And there's a neat twist to the war story. But I balked at the message--yes, we all have a chance to make a difference, but there are people who live hard and sad lives, like Eddie, and to make it all "OK" by this vision of heaven left me cold. Isn't it all more complicated than this? I think my Mom would like this book.
