[edit] Desperately needs to be rewritten
This article is very poorly written. Someone with a better knowledge of the book's plot and better composition skills should attempt a rewrite. 75.41.134.62 (talk) 22:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] This article is a mess!
Shouldn't it be flagged for emergency rewriting or deletion or something? This article is a mess. I have literally never seen something worse on Wikipedia.
I would do it myself, but I would not know how to go about doing it.

[edit] Article split
Although I sympathis with the sentiment of the request - I don't see enough content here worth a split. Anyone who knows enough about this novel / film should augement the entry with more description, plot summary and analysis and then it might be worth treating separately. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 07:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
--75.181.88.240 04:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)This article is a joke and does not follow the book as it was written by Albom
This article is a joke. For one, it was never implied during any part of this novel that Eddie works at the pier to make it everything his wife wants. Huh? I can't even figure out how one would come to this conclusion. Also, READ CAREFULLY! The little girl did NOT die during the accident! Tala tells him this towards the end of the novel. Read the end again - the 'stories' are completed and all comes around full circle when we are told that Eddie (now having moved on to the next stage of heaven) will be waiting for the little girl (Amy?...)to get to heaven so he can explain the meaning of part of her life to help her understand. Had the girl died already, much of the meaning would have been lost. The end of the novel wouldn't make any sense! Maybe you should try to read this one again. This is a deep, touching story and I feel that this article does nothing to encourage any one to read it (which EVERYONE SHOULD). If you don't understand, please refrain from writing novel summaries! I hope I have time in the future to write up an accurate summary/review. Christina
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MitchAlbom TheFivePeopleYouMeetInHeaven.jpg
Image:MitchAlbom TheFivePeopleYouMeetInHeaven.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Where's the fifth person?
This is probably one of the most incomplete articles I've ever seen on wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.56.82 (talk) 13:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
