Five Jerks You Meet on Earth

Al Mitchell is middle-aged, divorced, childless, balding, unemployed, stoop-shouldered, and deadbut these are the least of his problems. When Mitchell dies in a chaotic merry-go-round wreck, he goes to Heaven hoping to discover the meaning of his sad-sack life by meeting the five most influential people he's known. But too bad they're busy meeting with more important people! In their place, Al meets his grade school lunch lady, family plumber, and a hairdresser who turned down all of his romantic advances. So much for peace in the afterlife!Intent to make amends, Heaven's powers-that-be allow Mitchell to return to Earth (with help from a bumbling angel named Adrian) to achieve a goal even better than enlightenment. He gets to exact revenge on the five jerks who made his life so miserable!Ray Zardetto's "The Five Jerks You Meet on Earth" hilariouslybut respectfullyparodies Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." It turns the premise of that inspiring best-seller on its headand it speaks to the avenging loser in all of us!Zardetto, Ray is the author of 'Five Jerks You Meet on Earth ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780740760822 and ISBN 0740760823.
