Summary: The best book I have ever read.
Review: Lou Gehrig's Disease, also known as ALS has only been the name of a disease that a famous baseball player died of. Until recently..A dear friend's father passed away...and now my dad's brother has been diagnosed with this insidious disease. Mitch Albom struck a chord deep within my soul. Morrie struck an even deeper chord. Life is so full of so many things..things..things. People have become numb to other people because of so many things..things..things. Mitch Albom was blessed by the friendship and love Morrie showed him as he faced his mortality. I have been blessed by reading this "course" in life. Life is only worth living if you have loved ones to share it with. Tuesdays with Morrie teaches us to look at our own lives..our loved ones' lives and set up boundaries so that we can live life to the fullest right to time we face Our Maker. Thank you, Mitch. Thank you, Morrie.

Summary: I got the message
Review: The 'message' is simple AND profound. LOVE one another. We've heard it in church, sociology class, from our parents. But we never seem to heed the meaning of the words. Morrie Schwartz says it again, and this time, maybe, we'll listen. The book was an exceptional read.

Summary: Albom's book is shallow.
Review: I agree with the NYTimes book review which slams Albom's book and the shallowness of his discussions. Albom background and past history does not fit with his recollections and is close to being selfserving at a time when he set aside many of those discussions and walked over the back of his fellow workers at the Detroit Free Press.

Summary: It's a book to remind you what life is all about ---
Review: Of course, I was emotionally moved by the author and his lessons from his " teacher." Quickly read, but unforgettable. We knew the " end" at the beginning - but what a story - about love -compassion- forgiveness - love - everything that is truly important. Told in such a loving manner, we knew the author has changed his own life and after reading this, many others, including me.

Summary: Tuesdays with Morrie: A Subjective Review
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is a book that should rock our society's 30-ish to 40 -ish members in a way that will not be soon forgotten. Perhaps we should all get out of our BMW's as we're racing toward the next "prize", and stop to read this profoundly moving story of an older man sharing his views on living and dying with Mitch Albom,his former student and professional sports writer. There are lessons in simple phrases or looks in this novel that will make even someone who "isn't smelling the coffee", pause and reflect on what is really important as we move through this thing called life. Morrie has captured many of the reasons why people in this country are never satisfied. As he puts it, " There's a big confusion in this country over what we want versus wnat we need....You need food, you WANT a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don't NEED the latest sports car, you don't need the biggest house". Morrie's wisdom and revelations about living and dying continue through this slim novel,enhanced by the powerful writing style of Mitch Albom. As I wept my way through this book, there was one inconsistency that was surprising and bothersome, considering the sensitivity of Mr. Albom's penning of this novel. The female characters in the book were one-dimensional and impossible to get to know. Even Connie, Morrie's wife,never developed as a character, despite Morrie's discussion of the lovely benefits of marriage. Even more surprising was the fact that Mr. Albom couldn't or wouldn't develop the essence of his own wife. It was a sad lack in an otherwise powerful and tender novel.

Summary: A wonderful story of personal growth
Review: I just finished Tuesdays With Morrie and want to say thank you to Mitch for giving the world a chance to know Morrie and learn the lessons he had to teach.

Summary: Not just a book...A life changing experience
Review: Tuesdays With Morrie was the most beautiful, life affirming, inspiring book I have ever read. I read 4-5 books a week and never has a book so changed me. We are welcomed into the world of Morrie through the eyes of Mitch his former student. Along with Mitch, I became a student of Morrie. Through his battle with ALS he is faced with death, but yet through this we learn about life and are taught how we can really live. To live is to love, to love is to live. It is not how much money I make, how successful I am, or how many cars I bought that I will think about when facing death, it will be who I have loved, what I have given, who has loved me and what I have gained from my relationships with others. Tuesdays With Morrie only took two hours out of my Tuesday, but yet has given me so many more hours of a better life just by reading his words. Thank you Morrie and Mitch. -Angela Bernardoni-

Summary: Thank you Mitch and Morrie
Review: I've thought about Mitch and Morrie every day since I read this book. Morrie's wisdom puts all of life's worries in perspective. I think of Morrie every time I am driving and screaming at people to go faster or move out of my way. I wonder what Morrie would say to me and this calms me. I had the opportunity to meet Mitch Albom and his love for his mentor was so moving. I appreciate the little things so much more now-- the color of the sky when the sun is setting, my loved ones' laughs, the familiar and comfortable friendship I share with my sisters
