Summary: Warm and engaging
Review: I started reading this book last night and couldn't put it down. I found it warm, engaging, and ultimately life-affirming. I consider this book to be a gift to myself and plan to give it to friends as well.
Rating:
Summary: an amazing emotional journey.
Review: In an age as cynical as the one we are living in I thought impossible for a book, especially one written by a sportswriter to have an emotional impact on me. I was wrong. Mitch Albom has a simple understated masterpeice. It will rank with Why Bad things Happen to Good People and Surley your Joking Mr. Fenyeman as must reads for anyone going through a seriou ordeal.
Rating: 
Summary: Yet another cliche.
Review: Another typical attempt to solve life through some giant inspirational cliche. No more novel or fresh in its content than any one of hundreds of "guide me through life" antecdotes created by robots. Save your time and money for something more substantial.
Rating:
Summary: An absolute must read
Review: Everyone should have a Morrie in their life. If you have even a drop of humanity you will have tears in your eyes as you read this book. Morrie, better than anyone one I have known, knew what was important in life. No one I know faced death with greater dignity. An absolute must read for anyone above the age of 13.

Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: I found this book to be very sappy and condescending. The author portrays his mentor as some sort of saint and prophet. It's the sign of a truly bad work when an author turns a real person into an unreal character. Why did he feel the need to repeat so many of Morrie's "wise words"? Was it to drill it into the readers' heads, "Hey, this is important, so pay attention here"? This account was definitely written for the unsophisticated reader. Like another reviewer of this book, I didn't care about either Mitch or Morrie after reading this.
Rating: 
Summary: Trite and unconvincing
Review: Superficial and soporific, Albom's book is strong on sentiment but weak on substance. Riddled with ridiculous aphorisms such as "When you're in bed, you're dead," this book left me feeling like I had just read a high school student's unstructured freewrite. Having finished the book, I couldn't care less about Mitch Albom; more sadly, I couldn't care less about Morrie Swartz either. Because I am not cold-hearted by nature, only the writer of "Tuesday's with Morrie" is to blame for my apathy.
Rating:
Summary: best book I have ever read
Review: In a society of "what's in it for me" and a lack of societal commitment, this book redefines the goodness we should all emulate. Morrie is a treasure beyond description. As great a source of what is (Morrie) and how we should react as human beings throughout our lives. This book is a monumental treasure. I will buy copies for my children and friends. Read it, believe it, follow these golden words of wisdom. The passing of Morrie is a tragic loss of a genuinely great person. To have met him would have been an honor, to have not is a void.

Summary: Heartwarming
Review: Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom Have you ever had a favorite teacher? Have you ever wondered what they've been up to since you last saw them? A little more than 20 years ago, Mitch Albom graduated from Brandeis University, kissed his favorite professor Morrie Schwatrtz good-bye and said he'd keep in touch. But he didn't. At least not until the night he was flippng through tv stations and found his old professor's face staring back at him. There was Morrie Schwartz being interviewed by Ted Koppel on Nightline. Morrie once a man that danced wildy among the college set in Boston was dying from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) but he chose not to go quietly into that good night. Surrounded by his family, friends, colleagues and books, Morrie discoursed daily about "this business of dying." When he came to the attention of Ted Koppel he agreed to do a series of interviews for the public to learn more about him, his disease and his ideas. Within a short time, Mitch is traveling once a week on Tuesdays to spend time with his mentor and continue his education with this final thesis. The subjects they discuss range from money, career, family, values, love, self pity and dying. And as Morrie weakens and approaches the end, Mitch is finally able to put his own life into its proper prespective. A poignant quote from Morrie, "We have to know about dying in order to live." A warm and very moving book. Makes me wish I once had a professor like Morrie Schwartz.

Summary: An Emotional Inspiring Lesson About Life With Today's Values
Review: This book is outstanding to me, not because of its great in-depth intellectual insights on the meaning of life, dying and death; but, because of the way it hooked me emotionally so that I experienced Morrie's and Mitch's Tuesdays from a feeling level that brought tears to my eyes more than once as the words let me be present with them each Tuesday during their class. Baby Boomer values are talked about from a contemporary perspective that will inspire some from this generation to change their lives and be more powerful role models for younger generations to better realize their life's potential
Rating:
Summary: Insightful, moving and familiar.
Review: The lessons and insights that emerge from Tuesday's With Morrie are not new. The importance of love, relationships and living in the moment as the basis for a meaningful life have been written about by countless authors. With repetition, there is a certain shallowness to it all. What sets Mitch Albom's book apart is that we care about Morrie. This emotional attachment tends to make the learnings more accessible in everyday life. This alone is reason enough to recommend it.
