All my friends loved this book. It is inspirational, but I have always had difficulty liking stories set in amusement park or circuses. It's probably a good thing everyone doesn't like the same things/books.

Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. Eddie awakens in the Afterlife, where he learns that Heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it.

This was a very different type of book. I almost didn't finish it. Once I got into it more, I started to like it more. When you start to meet Eddie's people in Heaven, you can't help wonder who he will meet next. The best part, too, is that it's a short book and therefore doesn't take long to read.

LARGE PRINT EDITION. Very enjoyable, quick read. An updated version of It's a Wonderful Life, but takes place in Heaven rather than on Earth. Protagonist who thought his life was a total waste learns in Heaven how valuable his life really was.
