Summary: Life changing
Review: After reading "Tuesdays..." I gave it to my mother to read because she too is dying of a terminal disease. She and I joyously read it again together and shared our new revelations on how to live life fully to the last minute. Anyone who feels the good in life has dissapated needs to make a friend with Morrie, and learn from his poignant lessons. Wonderful!!!

Summary: A MUST-READ FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS....LIFE IS A DEATH SENTANCE
Review: As a current graduate student in health education, I feel that the author, Mitch Albom, has done a wonderful favor for us all. He has given us a preview into the process of death and dying. We, as humans, feel that we can escape death or just don't think about it. I hate to be the one to bring you this news, but your final day is not certain. It could be today, next week, next month or not for awhile. But the day will come! God bless Morrie and his family. Mitch, you are an inspiration! "You only live once, but if you live it right, once is enough."

Summary: A True Reality Check
Review: This book is not just for people who are old or dying; it's not just for workaholics who need to slow down and enjoy life; it's not even for people hooked on inspiration self-help books. TUESDAY WITH MORRIE if for any human being who feels lost in the hectic pace of this world, maybe lost touch with what's important in their life, and needs a wise voice of experience to show them the way. Morrie had a sweetness that bore right through my heart. He will do the same for you, if you're open enough to let him....

Summary: A disappointing book.
Review: There must be more in a person's mind, as death approaches, than has been discussed in this book. I also don't understand the raves about the book. I found it rather insipid and definitely lacking substance. The problems with the author's brother could have been developed more thoroughly, perhaps for greater interest.

Summary: Self-absorbed author writes of self-absorbed man
Review: This book is a quick read, which makes it less painful to get through.Granted, the auther does acknowledge that he was too self-absorbed when he started this book, but by the end of the book, I'm not left with any indication that anything had changed. The main problem with this book is that I could not connect with any of the characters: The neurotic old man who desires to die and the self-absorbed ex-student who comes to visit him. The old man, Morrie, was a nice guy who was a teacher for many years. He constantly needed to be acknowledged and be at the center of attention when he contacts a fatal disease. This book is about Morrie telling the young man about what it means to live. Unfortunately, it comes across far too preachy. (too many "should" and "shouldn't" in life statements), but written in such a cliche fasion that one feels attached by old gum-drops: sweet, sticky, and the need to brush them away. In the story we have Morrie (the old man) putting together a going-to-die party for himself and invites people to come and tell him how much they admire him. Morrie tells the author about how he would go to the disco and bring records that no one else would listen to and dance by himself in front of everyone for attention. Another story we have of Morrie is sitting at a basketball game, where people are cheering and chanting for the team and he yells out something that causes them to stop, star at him, and he sits and grins about being at the center of attention once more. After a few of these stories, I felt like yelling "Okay, he's got an inferiority complex! I've got it already! Can we move on!" We get such odd statements as "One must learn how to die in order to live". Excuse me?!? The logic was oddly reversed. If these were supposed to be wise statements to lives one's live by, I'll take a pass, thank you. A Jewish book club was touting this book as a story of a Jew. Please be forwarned that while Morrie was Jewish by birth, he gave up Judiasm as a child and was more interested in other religions and quoted them often. He even makes it a point to embarass his brother's Rabbi near the end and smiles about being at the center of attention once more. There is nothing Jewish about this book. It's a time-waster. It's a fairly thin book with a lot of empty space. If normal sized type, leading, and a simple design were used, this book would be half this size. But then, it really had little content worth reading.

Summary: A beautiful experience
Review: I read this book last night and can't stop thinking about Morrie and his dignity and love. It was an honor to know something about this extraordinary man...

Summary: Preaching to the introverted.
Review: It seems this is exactly the sort of well-intentioned and absolutely impotent writing that has become the stock-in-trade of mopes the world over. Morrie plaintively implores us to love each other and not fight, but no one except the most emotionally correct -- the kind of people inspired to read this sort of book in the first place -- will even bother to heed such a message. The rest of the world is too busy eating itself alive to care, and ten thousand tomes like this don't add up to a granule of actual betterment. Albom himself, not surprisingly, has a career that has reeked of precisely the same sort of morbid exploitation that rises in waves from this book's pages. Someday, maybe in another decade or so, people will stop confusing genuine acts of social consciousness with mutual back-patting exercises like this.

Summary: Awesome Book! Very inspirational!
Review: This book left me very inspired. From the moment I began this book I could not put it down. There are many life lessons that one can learn from this book. I learned many and was able to review many that I had learned before. I highly recommend this book! This was a very enjoyable book and has given me great inspiration and reflection of life's true meaning!

Summary: Moving! Thought provoking!
Review: You can't read this book without examining your life. Your day must be different starting tomorrow. Certainly life and death will never be viewed the same. This is required reading for anyone who is questoning their mortality
