This book was about a guy who had a lot of things happen in his life. I thought the book was really sad because of the way it was planed out. The five people he meet, order are a Blue man. The Blue man was first, Eddie, the main character, didn't know him, never meet him. The Blue man was killed by Eddie, this happened for a reason and when they meet in heaven the Blue man told him the lesson. "That There are no random acts. That we are all connected.That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."
The second person meets was his Captain from the war. The Captain changed his life by shooting Eddie's leg so he wouldn't go running in a burning house to save a little "girl."When the Captain shoot his leg, Eddie had a limp from then on. the Captains lesson to Eddie was that you have to make sacrifices in life, like Eddie lost his leg, and the Captain died when he drove over a land mine.
The third person he meets in heaven was Ruby, the person that named the company and had a part in building. That was what she had to do with his life. Even though she died way before he was born, she still had a on his life. Ruby taught him that anger can hurt you and the people around you.
The Forth person was his wife, who died at the age of 47. She taught him that love doesn't end even though the person you loved life ends.
The fifth person, I think is the saddest. The fifth person is the person that he didn't save in the burning house, the house that the captain shoot Eddie in the leg over. This girl didn't teach Eddie a lesson, but i think it was meant to say. Go with your gut.
