The Five People You Meet In Heaven.

I've finish reading 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' in the afternoon. And straight away after band practice, I took a quick shower and watched the TV movie adaptation of this great book.

The book, is a good one. Heck, it's a great one. It's must-read at least, for everyone. Some find it confusing, *cough*Ivan*cough*, some find it boring *cough*Gary*cough*Gerald*cough*, and well, some might find it one of the best books ever to be written..(no cough) But well, I'm a believer in the phrase - "To each, their own", even though sometimes I contradict that phrase I live up to.

So yeah, the movie was is great. Even though the book calls for alot of, well.., technical work such as : suddenly switching from a Philippine war ground to some tropical island or appearing on snowy mountain tops. But hey, it's a TV movie made in 2003. I bet movies then, had about the same graphic value as this.. I think.

-may contain some spoilers about the book/movie. you have been warned-

Well, it was kinday cheesy. But Jon Voight is a great actor.

I think the things that spoiled my 2 hour experience was - i. bad graphics (but I've mentioned it's a TV movie made when I was P3) ii. the little girl meets at the end was... well, she just spoiled Jon Voight's presence there. Didn't suit the scene.

Well, that's about it. Yep, 2 very minor things .. wait, a third thing that really bothered was when he meets the third person.. when Ruby reveals herself - I didn't like her face embedded in the gateway and revealing her true self. Corny. Such a solemn sorta book, was kinda uncalled for.

Well other than that - masterpiece. Favourite part would be when he has the final walk with Captain, and when Captain talks about sacrifice. Really hit me at the moment. Call it an epiphany if you want, or some common day-to-day revelation, but when he talks about sacrifice, well, it got to me is all I can say.

I think Mitch Albom has attained divinity or something.

Can't wait to read his other 2 works.
