Summary: On My Best Book List
Review: After seeing the Made-For-TV movie, my wife purchased this book for me. It was a pure pleasure to read and I highly suggest that everyone read and heed the message that it contains. I will read it again and again.

Summary: One of those books that can change your life
Review: If you don't feel moved or touched in some way when you read this book, then you simply don't exist: you're not there. Author Mitch Albom came back from years without knowing anything about or even remembering his mentor from college, Morrie Schwartz, when he found out about him through a TV program that featured him as he was going through a terminal illness that was bound to terminate his life. It was this way how Albom, set to meet with him once again, and ended up sitting by his side with a recorder turned on every single tuesday, discussing about life and how to live it (or die after it). This reading, beside tears, promises to give you A LOT to think about, with regards to the way you lead your life, the way you think, the way you feel about things and people... It is one of those books, that can change your life... if you allow it.

Summary: Tuesdays With Morrie
Review: Tuesdays With Morrie, sportswriter Mitch Albom introduced us to his beloved teacher Morrie Schwartz. Albom narrated his audio production with a heart that only a great bond can have.

Summary: Tuesdays With Morrie
Review: When you pair David Paymer and Nathan Lane as Felix and Oscar in the Odd Couple, you are in for a comic tour de force that over stretches its material. With a supporting cast which includes Dan Castellaneta and Yeardley Smith (both from The Simpsons) and Linda Purl, the cast is almost perfect. This production is a little too visual in a few of its jokes. However, on the whole, it unscrupulously grabs the audio listener by his ears and shakes him with laughter.

Summary: Nice story, bad book
Review: This is a really nice story about a guy who is clearly very nice and just being around Morrie makes everyone else even nicer, including the reader. But it just isn't a good book. Every quote from Morrie is straight from one of those books of inspirational quotations, one after another. I also have to wonder about the effect on Mitch Albom after spending this time with Morrie. He seems to be working as much as ever, just adding this book and movie to his plate. I don't want to criticize Morrie or his effect on people. But this book isn't worth $21.

Summary: Disappointing!
Review: I don't understand the glowing reviews this book has received. Mitch Albom's writing style is unimpressive and Morrie Schwartz's aphorisms are trite. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, because the book is an easy read and it does give some insight into the process of dying. It also helped pay for Mr. Schwartz's medical treatments and, for that alone, it's worth purchasing. There were several paragraphs that tugged at my heartstrings but, overall, the book failed to touch me.

Summary: Why do I feel good?
Review: When I was told to read this book, I heard it was uplifting and hopeful. About half-way through the book I thought to myself, "Uplifting? Hopeful?...I'm sadder than I have ever been reading a book." That emotion continued throughout the remainder of the book, and for the first time, the final two chapters of a book made me cry. When I put the book down, I was emotionally drained, having figuratively gone through the final days of this man's life. I was confused by my feelings three hours after finishing the book. It had made me cry, but I felt better about myself having read it. I know many people think that the book is nothing but sentimental drivel, but I think they are missing the point. This book is about a normal man who could not find the beauty that life offers until he was told it would no longer offer that beauty to him. A lesson I think we can all learn from. I highly recommend this book, and hope Morrie speaks in your mind the way he talks to me now. We all would be better off if he did.

Summary: A touching read...
Review: This book was a quick read that I found to be both poignent and touching. In essence, it is the rediscovery of what is important in life as a student faces the death of his mentor. Morrie is full of life till the last moment he spends on this earth, and we as readers are the better for it. Mitch Albom captures Morrie's zest for life and acceptance of his fate perfectly, and the reverence he has for his teacher is felt within each paragraph. I loved this book so much that I gave it to my boss, who has served as my mentor, and she loved it as well. Tuesdays with Morrie will move you, and you will regret the fact that is it so short as you turn the last page.

Summary: Yeesh.
Review: The success of this book and the many gushing, syrupy reviews here just go to show how far the dumbing-down of North American society has gotten, more's the pity. Emotion is the highest good, and the reviewers who say that this book is a cut above most things out there are unwittingly revealing how gullible, mushy and anti-intellectual they really are--do they ever read anything challenging, or just pap like this? Does the book say something valuable? Is it written with talent and verve? Can we discuss it on an intellectual level? Nah, let's concentrate on all the gooey emotions it conjures up. Shame on all of you.

Summary: The BEST book you will ever read!
Review: When this book was recommended to me, I didn't hesitate to buy it & I highly recommend it. What a beautiful, heartfelt, wonderfully written story. Mr. Albom captivates the reader from the beginning & never lets him/her go. Definately the best book I have ever read. The movie was also a very well-written adaptation of the book...everything I imagined it to be. A difficult feat to accomplish for most books-turned-to-movies. If there is one book that should be in everyone's personal collection, this is it.
