Summary: Life Altering
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is one of the best books I have ever read. It is filled with life's lessons and quotes that will remain with you long after the end of the book. It is about a man who is dying named Morrie and the relationship with one of his students, Mitch. Instead of dying a defeated and lonely man because of the life he has chosen to live, he dies happily and surrounded by those that he loves. Until his last breath he continues to teach Mitch lessons that will last a lifetime. "When you learn how to die, you learn how to live" was one of my favorite quotes that Morrie shared with us. This book is fabulous and will give you a whole new outlook on life. We should all hope to be half as selfless as Morrie was. If I achieve on tenth of what Morrie did my life's goal will be accomplished and my life will be complete.

Summary: we all have a little Morrie in us!
Review: I'm just another student who had the will to read this book but never got around to it until I was assigned to, and I am so glad for that. Reading this book has helped to release a little piece of Morrie that's inside myself. Morrie offers a perspective on life that is completely different from the self-centered, self-serving one we encounter every day. "Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you." Most of all, though, Morrie encourages us to accept love and kindness from others, and not be afraid to dish it out as well. READ THIS BOOK and then join my little community!

Summary: Overwhelming Beautiful!
Review: This book shows what we could be like if we were all like Morrie. To appreciate family, friends and life like Morrie did so when death approaches there are no "coulda, woulda, shoulda 's". Although this story doesn't have a happy ending, Morrie lives happily ever after.

Summary: We need more people like him!
Review: I picked up this book 1 year ago at a friend's home and read a few pages. I left my friends home & never got around to buying a copy of Tuesdays with Morrie for myself until nearly a year later! I just finished this book and I am forever changed! To see that there was a person with so much knowledge, so much love and so much compassion brought tears to my eyes. Morrie is someone who will truly never die. He touched the heart of his family and friends, but through this book, he will continue to touch the herats and souls of every person lucky enought to pick it up. In such a difficult world, it was wonderful to take a few moments each day and read about a man who had made good choices - probably hard ones - and regretted very few. It is even better to hear of a successful person who vowed to never eploit others. Sensible, courageous, compassionate - these words describe Morrie! We need more people like him!

Summary: Easy heart-warming read
Review: This easy and heart-warming read is successful for several reasons: People strive for hope, love, and ultimately having a connection with others and the world around them. This is a great tale, told with warmth and expert insight into the human condition. Read the book, saw the movie, and loved both. Also recommended: McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD

Summary: This one will make you think about your life
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was an assigned reading for my Sociology class at school, and after reading it I understood why my teacher assigned it. This book really made me think about my life and the people in it. Morrie was a great man and he had much to teach the people that he encountered. It is a very easy read that only took two days to read. I enjoyed how Mitch Albom reflected back and related it to the present time. I recomend this book to anyone who has had to live through the death of a loved one and to anyone who might have to experience that, so basically everybody!!!

Summary: A student once again...
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is an amazing novel, it allows for the reader to learn some of lifes most pertinent lessons through the eyes of an amazing student and the teaching of an even more amazing professor. This novel not only taught me about the importance of the people in your life but also that is important to cherish every moment that you have with them, not to waste time on pettiness, and not to dwell in the past or in the faults of others. The student teacher relationship is an amazing dynamic in this novel because it extends far beyond the classroom. By conveying this dynamic the reader can experience life through the characters eyes, and learn lessons about selflessness that you would never think possible. This book is a true experience that teaches us all how to live life to the fullest.

Summary: Morrie sounds very intellectual
Review: I read this book in ninth grade. It tells how the narrator meets with his former professor who is about to die. Morrie sounds very intellectual that he doesn't like the idea of funerals-he'd rather have people share their remembrances of him while he's still living the remainder of his life-they hold a "living funeral". In fact, at the end of the summer after I read this book, my former seventh grade English teacher died, who was very intellectual like Morrie-there was no funeral, no calling hours. The book shows how some people don't even have funerals when they die.
Great book for the death of a close one!

Summary: Reunion of a Lifetime
Review: For whatever reason, I was slow on the uptake where this book is concerned. I actually picked it up at a second hand store - and am I ever glad I did. I fell in love with Morrie Schwartz... and through him was reminded how blessed I am to teach adults many lessons similar to what Morrie taught his sociology students. Mitch was one of his students who got caught up in the rush, rush, rush of life and forgot what was really important about life. Some of the richness came from Morrie's own words within Mitch Alborn's narrative. "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in." "Love each other or perish" "Detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary you let it penetrate you fully. That's how you are able to leave it." This book is a must read for teachers, a really should read for anyone who is still breathing.... and I am thinking not a bad book for the Junior High Set.

Summary: Uber Sappy
Review: It may be because i am very cinical, but i found the book to be very sappy. Morrie disses every aspect of the capitalist society all in the name of "love". I don't recomend reading it, unless you have to like i did for school.
