Summary: Thought Provoking!!!
Review: While many find this piece to be a bit maudlin, I found the book most thought provoking and poingnant. How I wish that I could have spent time with the most influential man in my life, my father. Unlike Morrie, my dad was taken from me rather quickly. Fortunately our affairs were in order, but how I wish I could have spent the time with my father that Mitch spent with Morrie. I would find it difficult for anyone not to enjoy this book.

Summary: sad, yes...but did the author exploit the subject?
Review: A sad story, yes. Morrie was a terrific subject and his lessons are timeless. But, I have to wonder how Mitch Albom sleeps at night. From all he "learned", or allegedly gained from these "Tuesdays" didn't he exploit Morrie just a bit? Morrie encourages us all to live for today, stop, enjoy the little things around us, LIVE, not just to work, to make money, but LIVE! I put the book down at times rejoicing in these simple words. How then, is it that Mitch Albom, one of Morrie's great students, gets away w/writing his story? What did/does he get but the profits from a dying old professor? Hmmmm....what did Mitch come away with? From the look of it, a bunch of dough. Yes, we're the richer for learning a little about Morrie and of ALS but Mitch Albom is richer for exploiting him, and apparently, not that much wiser for knowing him.

Summary: An amazing, life affirming book from a dying man.
Review: I found Morrie Schwartz to be an amazing individual. Although he was dying, he was still an optimist with a zest for life, and a desire to live each day to the fullest. He should be an inspiration to one and all.

Summary: Sweet.
Review: This was a very sweet book about young and old connecting. I did not find anything life altering about it,just a nice book that gave me a good excuse to cry a little without guilt!
Rating:
Summary: There are better books out there
Review: I found this to be rather trite. Many of the "teachings" are little more than regurgitated platitudes from the world religions (which in turn stole them from the original sources anyway) - anyone to whom these "teachings" are enlightening or revelatory must be a very sheltered, young or self-absorbed person. There is a much, much deeper level to explore in life, and correspondingly death; I would call this book perhaps a good "beginner's" guide, but for those seeking something more substantial I highly recommend "The Pagan Book of Living and Dying" by Starhawk. (Yes, even if you're not a pagan this book has a lot to offer). Blessed Be!

Summary: Exceptional insight on the human race
Review: A reading filled with tears at the compassion and insight Morrie has of, and with, his students and fellow man.A philosphy of life which should be the standard for all.

Summary: This book makes you examine your own soul.
Review: This book is one of my favorite books of all time. It was given to me by my mother and is possibly one of the best gifts she has ever given me. I would recomend this book to everybody, at the same time I would caution the reader. This book will make you examine your soul. It will make you realize how truly selfish most of us are.

Summary: unputdownable reading
Review: I remember going into a bookshop and a certain book looked at me. At first I ignored it. A few days later I chanced to go into the same bookshop and I had this book beckoning at me for attention. Ever since I opened the first page on the bus I admit I was looking forward to going back home from work in order to lock myself wherever I could not be troubled by my kids and imbibe it. A certainly fascinating book. So much so that Mitch Albom has managed to turn me into one of Morrie's friends. I consider myself as such. Thanks, Mitch for this delicious book.

Summary: Tuesdays is an inspirational book that made me want to live.
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie will forever remain on my bookshelf and will be one of those books I will make it a task to read every decade. I am glad I got to read this book while I'm in my twenties. The book was about death yet it made me want to live. Morrie's lessons can be an inspiration to us all. Thanks Mitch Albom for your steadfastness in making Morrie's story known.
Rating: 
Summary: At least it is short.
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is an annoying little book. In spite of what the author, Mitch Albom, says, the book is about him and not about Morrie. Unfortunately, I did not find either of them particularly interesting. A more interesting subject for the book would have been an analysis of why so many Americans of various faiths or no faith who are dying and have time to consider death, such as Morrie, want to become Buddhists. The only good thing about the book is that it is short. The biggest problem may also be that it is short. The book fails to stand on its own merits. A good book, which this is not, has the ability to captivate, interest, entertain, and challenge a reader. Unless one brings one's own recent tragic loss to the reading of this book, the book is incomplete and, what I call, "thin." It astounds me that the book is as popular as it appears to be. After reading the book, if I mourned any loss, it was the loss of the innocent trees that gave their lives to become paper for this book. Save your money and save a tree.
