Summary: Safe and Interesting
Review: On the subject of the lessons life teaches us, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE (Mitch Albom) is a very interesting and well written book. It is not fully as good as THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN (Mitch Albom) in which the author takes a few more risks, or MY FRACTURED LIFE (Rikki Lee Travolta) in which the author takes many more risks. Yet this is a safe and interesting book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thank you Morrie
Review: I read this jewel of a book at a really dark time in my life. I had come to feel that no one cared about anyone else. Mitch and Morrie helped me see that I was NOT alone. Other people see the value of people/friends. My faith in humanity was restored. My experience may sound hackneyed, but I have continued to spread the "Gospel according to Morrie" and get thanked profusely by new devotees.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tuesdays with Morrie
Review: I have to say, reading Tuesdays with Morrie was an excellent book. I got a lot out of it. I can honestly relate to this book perfectly. From the moment I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. This book was about life lessons.
There was a strong friendship between Mitch and his dying teacher, Morrie. They both went their separate ways. Finally reuniting after sixteen years, they became close again. Mitch decided to visit Morrie every Tuesday, just as like he was going to class again. They would talk about everything in going on in each other's lives. While Mitch was visiting, he notice Morrie getting weaker and weaker. Mitch realized it was finally time to say goodbye and let Morrie die.
I would recommend this book to everyone with a problem. This book covers many issues. For instance: love, money, marriage, family, and death. Everybody can relate to this book. It's excellent!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Death- what's so bad about that?
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is an incredible book about a dying man's wish to get his knowledge of life and wisdom out to everyone he loves. This was a very easy book to read and very easy to understand. But just because it is easy to read that doesn't mean that it isn't any good. This book touches you in a very special very personal way. He talks about how people need to get over the worldly things like money, social life, and being "successful." They need to live life like there is no tomorrow and tell people how much you love them and care about them.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a great book that everyone should read. To learn about Morrie and they amazing and unique way that he faced death. It is a very inspirational story for everyone to read. This book will make you think about things that you try to push into the back of your mind and not worry about them. It will change the way you think of life. If you want to read a great, inspirational book that you'll want to read over and over again this is the one for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A riveting example of true friendship
Review: Mitch and his teacher Morrie had always been good friends and when the graduation day came Morrie asked Mitch to keep in touch and he promised he would but sixteen years passed by and they haven't seen each other until Mich accidentaly while watching TV was reminded of his promise when he saw Morrie on TV being interviewed after he got the illness called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Soon Mitch went to pay a visit to his old teacher and then ended up going there every tuesday talking about life. They spent fourteen tuesdays talking to each other about all sorts of things LIFE, MARRIAGE, LOVE etc...then Morrie was taken away forever by ALS leaving us sad even though we never knew who Morrie was.

Highly recommended

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good for everyone
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie was a wonderful book about life. Often times we just go through the daily routine of our lives, never looking into our feelings and the reasons for why we do things. Morrie, did a great job of putting this into perspective. He gave a new meaning to life besides the hustle and bustle we are used to. His new meaning of life, odd enough, came from the idea of death.
Morrie has developed a disease that is deadly. He's life is coming down to just a few months. He wants to take these last few months and share his new outlook on life with everyone else.
I highly recommend this book. It's a quick, easy read, so you don't have to worry about it taking to much time out of your daily routine. So that's not an excuse. Besides it wouldn't hurt to see life from a new perspective. Reading this book gives you an inside of thoughts that enter your mind when you know life won't be lasting much longer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tuesdays with Morrie
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is a true story about a special bond between student and professor. Mitch describes in detail about how his professor lived his final days. As you read through, you feel mad, then sad. This book makes you realize that everyone's going to die, and if you are going to die, you should spend it with loved ones. Morrie teaches you lifelong endings that you'll never forget, and between breaks, you'll be crying for him like you knew him your whole life. Tuesdays with Morrie is a book that will touch your heart from the beginning to the end. When you put this book down, you'll want to reach out in sympathy and take him in your arms. This is a loving book that will stay with you forever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Inspiring Reality
Review: Tuesday With Morrie Is the best book I have ever read. it is the tale of a young man who gets back in touch with a favorite professor after hearing his name on the news. He finds out that his dear Professor has Lue Gehrig disease he decides to visit every tuesday. This book depicts the misery of a crippling disease and how a man full of wisdom preaches life long lessons within days of death. This book shows passion between young and old. Love between living and dying. And lessons that take minutes to learn but take a lifetime to understand. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at the level it is written at.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everyday should be Tuesday
Review: What are life's greatest lessons and what is it that really matters in the end? Your job? Your car? Or, is it the relationships that you create with others and the lives you touch? A proffesor and man of great spirit and wisdom, Morrie Schwartz knows the answer and has very little time to share his knowlege of life before his very own comes to an end. Reunited with Mitch Albom, an old, yet favorite student after a deadly health diagnosis, Morrie reaches out to him in a way that will change his life forever. Now, yours can change too. Mitch, after meeting with Morrie every Tuesday until he died, shares with the world the beauty of their friendship and perhaps some of the most important life lessons there are. From Mitch's college days, to Morrie's interview with Ted Koppel, every page is heartfelt and composed wonderfully. You will laugh, you will cry, you will want everyday to be Tuesday...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Antithesis of A Tough Read (That's a Good Thing!)
Review: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a very tough read for me, and it confused and befuddled me. Tuesdays with Morrie, however, proved to be everything that Zen and the Art of Mototcycle Maintenance was not.

Tuesdays with Morrie proved to be simple and straight to the point. We talk in the world of today about how it is a virtue to be simple and effective in the intended message, but Tuesdays with Morrie is truly a book that can cut right to the chase and get the intended point across. Throughout most of the book, the intended message of the book is the deterioration of a man nearing his deathbed and how he can cope with all of the challenges of the disease called ALS but better known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Morrie Schwartz gets any intended messages across through clever, short aphorisms that can be easily explained. By easily explained, I mean these can be explained without any exteneded research.

The story that Mitch Albom had to tell was told in just the right length, not too long that it dragged out and confused the readers, but on the same token, the book wasn't too short that there were still some gaps that needed to be filled.

Tuesdays with Morrie is the antithesis of a book like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and in this case, that's a good thing.
