The Five People You Meet In Heaven ~ Pages 32-101
So far, Eddie has met two people, and it appears that the next person is his father.
What do you think of the first half of the book? It has caught my interest very much, and I've been recommending this book to other people. I'm not sure what I like so much about the author's style. Perhaps it just flows very well. The story moves smoothly and at a nice pace, but without being boring. My brother-in-law told me that the author is actually a sports columnist.
What do you think of Eddie's encounter with the Blue Man? How do you think finding out that he killed the Blue Man helped him understand his life?
What do you think of Eddie's encounter with his old Captain? It shocked me to find out the Captain had been the one who shot Eddie. Do you agree with the Captain's decision to shoot Eddie? I guess it is better to be shot in the leg than to die in a fire.
Do you have any favorite lines or short passages? If so, please post them.
Do you have any questions for the other readers? If so, please ask them.
Thanks,
Scott
