Summary: The teaching continues...
Review: What a magnificent book! It inspired me to get in touch with one of my old professors and let him know what a difference he has made in my life. I even find myself watching ESPN Sportscenter in hopes of catching a glimpse of Mitch Albom.I cannot say enough about this book. It is tender, compassionate and despite its tale of one man's death, it is life-affirming. After reading lessons on such topics as family, money and forgiveness, I find myself making life changes that will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling life for me and all who come in contact with me (I hope!). For those searching for the key to a happy, fulfilling life in self-help books, I say close them all now and read this book instead. In less than 200 pages, Mitch and Morrie deliver everything you need to cope with life, death and everything in between.

Summary: Learn How To Die.
Review: Many books will teach you how to live. Very few books teach you how to die. This book is one of them. Being mortals I think it is a must read for every human being.

Summary: You either LOVE it or Hate it
Review: First of all just let me say what an incredible book this. It is one of the Best Books I have ever read if not the Best. I'm not a person with any special circumstances nor do I have any life threatning disease. I am, quite simply, an ordinary school going student. This book was writtem for everybody, maybe the intellectuals of this world won't find it challenging enough and I'm sure many will say that it's the same dribble that everyone likes to hear but never lives by and that's fair enough, but I think people mis-interprate it's simplicity. Morrie's perfect day is one in which he is surrounded by family and one where he can do all the little things we take for granted like going for a swim or dancing, it is in fact simplicity in it's self and I think that is what Mitch Albom is trying to convey in this book and he does in a way so that you don't have to be a Rocket Scientist or a Jounalist to understand it. That's what I got from this book, understanding from the point of view of somebody with the courage to talk about what it is like to face death, a subject most people never like to even consider although it has touched each of us in a unique way. As for Mitch Albom's motives for writing this book- I'm not sure, maybe he did it for the money, maybe he did it out of love for his beloved professor. But what I do know is that all Morrie wanted to do was teach people and through Mitch Albom's Book he is still managing it even in death. You must read this book, Love it or Hate it, everybody gets something from it. Please e-mail me if you have any responce to my review(Good or Bad)

Summary: The book is about the author rather than about Morrie.
Review: Unquestionably, Morrie Schwartz was a remarkable human being who touched many in life and in death. But despite Mitch Albom's obvious efforts to share Schwartz's wisdom with us, his description of Morrie never gets us into the man. Ultimately, the book struck me as more revealing of Albom's motivations as a journalist than of Schwartz as a person who dealt courageously with his dying. Specifics tend to focus on the author's feelings; Morrie's statements tend to be general philosophical points one can't really quibble with and they lack the zest the author claims Morrie had. Amazingly, Albom even manages to make the daily discomforts and disappointments of this truly devastating illness seem remote, as perhaps they were for him. A low point of the book is the extremely bland chapter that introduces the author's wife, about whom we learn next to nothing. Even the author's gee whiz conclusion (Morrie's funeral was on Tuesday, just like the previous visits!) seems to trivialize the subject.

Summary: Not a fan of self-help books. This is different. Read it !!!
Review: ALS is a disease where a persons body degeneratesover time until they basically sufficate to death. But the mind is not affected physically...This book left my husband in tears and deep thought. He lost his estranged father to ALS 25 years ago. He was able to finally grieve over his father's death. To understand this disease is one aspect of this book. Another aspect of this book is to gain perspective on how YOU will celebrate your own death. My views have changed. I'm with Morrie. "A living funeral", is my celebration of choice.

Summary: This death is ugly and it's all been said before--better.
Review: I was told I'd love the book. I didn't. Morrie's dying is a very ugly one, and frightening too. It gets in the way of his aphorisms, which have been said before and better. It's wonderful that Morrie is so unselfconscious that he can expose his physical symptoms with no embarrassment or disgust, even the ultimate indignity of having someone wipe his ass and declaring that he gets to be a baby again! I feel terrible for him, but I would like to have been spared the awfulness of his illness. It's hard to believe that anyone could find an up side to this wretched disease, let alone lots of up sides! I also question Mitch's sincerity and would like to know if he truly changed as a result of knowing Morrie so intimately. The book disappoints. You can't argue with any of Morrie's philosophical statements but you can't be very moved by them either.

Summary: The book changes my life - a must read
Review: Being a Chinese who is reluctant to express my personal feelings towards my family and my loved ones, I always hid my compassion and took it for granted that others would understand. However after reading the book, I become a lot more expressive and I'm no longer afraid of showing my inner feelings towards others especially to someone I love and care. Morrie certainly helped me realise what "love" means to me. More importantly, Morrie taught me how to appreciate and treasure every single moment, every gesture and every deed I share with the ones I love and will love.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! IT IS MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!! I CRIED 7 TIMES BECAUSE IT WAS SO MOVING AND INSPIRATIONAL!!! I READ IT AFTER MY GRANDFATHER DIED, WHO I WAS VERY CLOSE TO, AND AFTER I READ IT I WAS NO LONGER AFRAID OF DEATH. NOW I THINK OF DEATH AS A GREAT TIME TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND GET CLOSER TO THE ONES YOU LOVE.

Summary: The book is inspiring and a must read.
Review: I found the book easy to read. It shows us that life is too short and we must live life and enjoy it. I am glad to finally read a book which shows how a person facing death looks at life and his own death. Anyone who thinks that life is only work and making money should take time out and read this book. They will soon find that their is more to life and it is meant to be lived. It has helped me deal with and to understand death but better than that it helps me look at life differently.
