{"product_id":"9780740789083","title":"The Five Jerks You Meet on Earth: An Unauthorized Parody","description":"\u003cp\u003eEver wish that in the afterlife you'll be able to exact revenge on the people who made your life so miserable? \u003ci\u003eThe Five Jerks You Meet on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e takes on that sidesplitting premise. Loser Al Mitchell finally gets a chance to win-even though he's dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAl Mitchell is middle-aged, divorced, childless, balding, unemployed, stoop-shouldered, and dead--but 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntent 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! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay Zardetto's \u003ci\u003eThe Five Jerks You Meet on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e hilariously--but respectfully--parodies Mitch Albom's \u003ci\u003eThe Five People You Meet in Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e. It turns the premise of that inspiring best-seller on its head--and it speaks to the avenging loser in all of us!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more about the book visit www.thefivejerksyoumeetonearth.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126318711024,"sku":"9780740789083","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780740789083_p0.jpg?v=1769901106","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780740789083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
