Summary: A little book with a big message
Review: I had heard all of the reviews, and reluctantly picked-up the book to see what all of the hub-bub was about. From the moment I opened it, I could not put it down. This little book is packed with such beautifully written, life enhancing wisdom. I would recommend it to friends. PLEASE read this book!

Summary: business school student
Review: Though I am the opposite of what Morrie himself would have liked in a human being, I picked up this book yesterday afternoon after hearing so much about it, and read it in no more than one and a half hours. True, I am a quick reader, and I love to read(which is unfortunate as I have so little time for it these days), but I simply devoured the content as I laughed along and almost cried along with Morrie's situation (this is surprising, as I have not come close to crying in four years). BUt the book touches the hearts of all, from a teenager to the most hardened investment banker. It is most definitely a must-read, and even if it does not change your outlook on life(it didn't change mine), it teaches quite significantly, and gives lessons on life that are invaluable and priceless.

Summary: Morrie is an inspiration. The book is not.
Review: This book has entered mainstream culture thanks to the promotion of Oprah and word of mouth. Although the book is a sweet and somewhat enjoyable of a read, I don't believe it necessarily deserves the accolades and recognition that it has received in the last year. Tuesdays with Morrie is a story about a rekindled friendship between a professor dying of ALS and a student that needs guidance with his relationships. Approximately 11 Tuesdays are spent with the dying professor and the book describes how the once vivacious man slowly withers away physically but grows stronger in spirit. The student, Mitch Albom learns about the importance of relationships, loving each other, and loving oneself. It is not the best-written book but the beliefs that permeate throughout the novel are important. Morrie was a man that was very much in touch with the philosophies that the great Zionist, Martin Buber discusses in his book, "I and Thou." Tuesdays with Morrie is a good book, but not a great one, and has benefited by the Oprah-effect no doubt. For a simple cliff note version of Martin Buber's philosophies read this book - if you want to read about the importance and beauty of relationships and love, pick up "I and Thou." Tuesdays with Morrie is a sweet book that reminds of many of the inspirational books that people put next to the lavatory while sitting on their behind. If you need some reading material for the commode, I recommend this novel - otherwise borrow the book from someone and see for yourself. Morrie is definitely an inspiration, but the book was slightly disappointing.

Summary: This book is good for all ages
Review: The summer after I graduted from grammer school, I got this reading list from the high school saying I had to read books. So I went to my library and found this book. I wonder how good it could be. I took it out for 2 weeks. As soon as I got home, I opened it as fast I could. For those two weeks, every chance I had to read I picked that book up. I couldn't belive that a collage graduted would actually do that for an old teacher. The more I read the more I became fascnated by Mitch coming over every Tuesday. As I came to the end of the book I was sad when Morrie died because I learned something from this book. Those things were you always have a friend in the world and no matter what the race people are all the same in the world. I also think if people get to read this book, they are missing out on one of the greatest books ever written.

Summary: This Book is a Treasure
Review: Over the course of nine months and fourteen Tuesdays Mitch Albom flew over 700 miles to meet with Morrie Schwartz to talk about the meaning of life. Morrie, a man of extraordinary wisdom and compassion dying of Lou Gehrig's disease, shares his thoughts about what's really important-family (you can't substitute material things for love), death (once you learn how to die, you learn how to live), aging (embrace aging-as you grow you learn more), fear (learn how to detach, everything is impermanent), greed (don't trade your dreams for a bigger pay check) and forgiveness (forgive yourself and forgive others). "Tuesdays with Morrie" is an inspiring and gentle guide to living more fully and awakening to what really matters. As a hospice volunteer I am amazed how Mitch has captured what an honor it is to share in the gift of giving with the dying.

Summary: An inspirational celebration of a life well lived.
Review: I was greatly moved by this book. Morrie is truly a great man who recognized that he was not the physical body most of us perceive ourselves to be. In my opinion, Mr. Albom provided an enormous service in making Morrie's lessons available to all of us. I only wish someone like Mr. Albom would have been around in the final years of one of my primary teachers Buckminster Fuller. Like Morrie, Bucky has an enormous perspective which I feel is essential to our success and survival as individuals and as a species. The shift from competition to cooperation from hate to love from struggle to acceptance from a "you or me" to a "you and me" society that these "wise elders" advocate is needed now more than ever. Books like Tuesdays With Morrie help us realize that we are not alone and our lives do make a difference. They are a tribute to the great humans who walk among us.

Summary: THIS IS A **6 STAR** BOOK!!
Review: If you read no other book this year READ THIS ONE! It is phenomenal and the words will stay with you long after you have read the last page. The book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you think, and mainly make you look at life in a different way. The friendship that Mitch and his "Coach" share is heartwarming and with each page the mutual love and respect that they shared comes through. It's deeply moving and I feel fortunate to have read this. Thank-you Mitch for sharing your friend with us. I loved this book!

Summary: If you read nothing else, read this book....................
Review: Due to a very hectic schedule, I do not have time to read anymore, however, I read Tuesdays with Morrie in a few hours. I promise you that it is the best book I have ever read. I learned more from that book than I have in the last 10 years of life experience. If you read nothing else, take time to read this book. AND apply some of the thoughts in this book to your life - you will see it change - guaranteed.

Summary: What's the point?
Review: I was really touched by this book, and I think that it brings up an interesting point that many of us have forgotten. What's the point of what we do each day? Morrie gently reminds of us of what life has to offer when you take the time to look. I think everyone should get a chance to read this book. Soemtimes the things we want most are the things we already have and take for granted.

Summary: A Heartwarming tale that lots should read....
Review: I read this book almost entirely straight through in a matter of two sittings in a friend's apartment.... I'm not of the kind that say that books could change people's lives. Really there are few that can alter the way anyone thinks. This might be one of them. First, Morrie, a former college professor of the author, was an intelligent man who had something to say, and said it, and loved it with kindness and honesty. What better person is there to comment back upon life than a person willing to face death with good humor, courage, and a kindness that enabled him to teach unto his very last.... The author paints a sensitive and beautiful picture of his former mentor. His writing is fluid and empassioned and touching.... much more than you'd expect of a sports-writer. He paints as close to perfect a picture of his mentor as could be painted.... Everyone should read this book: from kids to adults. It's just wholly worthwhile...
