The Five People You Meet in Heaven

by Mitch Albom

Rated 5 stars

“Call Number: FIC ALB

This best-selling book tells the story of Eddie, a worker at Ruby Pier, an amusement park. It begins by counting down the minutes to an accident which ultimately leads to Eddie's death. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself with the energy of a child and at Ruby Pier. It is here where he meets the Blue Man. The Blue Man explains to Eddie that he's in heaven and that he is one of the five people Eddie will meet. Not only will Eddie meet them, but he'll also learn a lesson on life.

This book isn't like any other books I've read, it touches your heart and makes you realize things you take for granted in life. If you enjoy books with that effect, I definitely recommend it.”

Pet Sematary

by Stephen King

Rated 3 stars

“Although I was excited to read this book, I didn't like it as much as I hoped to. I did, however, watch the movie before reading the book, so maybe that's what ruined it. However, if you want to read a horror book from the famous Stephen King, I was would recommend this to you. It contains just enough horror to keep you from falling asleep at night. ”

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

by Stephen Chbosky

Rated 4 stars

“This book tells the story of Charlie, a freshman in High School. Always defined as a "loner" he tries to cope with the loss of his best friend as well as the hardships of high school. When he decided to go to a football game, coincidentally, he meets Patrick and Sam- seniors in high school. The three become best friends and experience the roller coaster of life. I highly recommend this to any high school student.”
