“The Next Person You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom.

Book review: Mitch Albom's 'The Next Person You Meet in Heaven' is pure froth

Mitch Albom has sold so many books that three out of the five people you meet in heaven carry copies under their wings. Albom has now produced a sequel: "The Next Person You Meet in Heaven." This book follows the formula of its predecessor -- melodramatic flashbacks, greeting-card homilies -- but heaven has been spruced up since we were here last.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode in this sequel to “Halloween.”
'Halloween': 40 years ago, Laurie Strode got inside my head
I loved Laurie Strode at first sight. Or, more accurately, I knew her: The 17-year-old high school student portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1978 horror classic "Halloween" ineffably chimed with my own contradictory selfhood as an adolescent girl coming of age in a perpetually autumnal Midwest. This is how she got into my head.

And with the right tools to stop it still a long ways off, we all need to get smarter about it.
