Summary: Inspiring and Enlightening
Review: I found this book to be totally enlightening. Generally, I refuse to read anything about death, and it took considerable effort on the part of my wife to get me to pick up this book. She assured me it wasn't about death, quite the opposite, it is about living. She was right and I strongly recommend it to everyone who wants to think and be touched in a very positive way.

Summary: Morrie Called Me!
Review: The Scenerio: Two years ago, my kids were visiting from Germany and wanted to buy some English books to take back. As a journalist/author, I have rooms of books, so I was hanging out in the front of the store near the bin of "Bargain Books," and Morrie called out to me from the bin, "read me."So, standing at the side of the bin, I read the book from cover to cover, learning about dying with dignity, the value of listening to wise people, discovering the meaning of life through the eyes of one old man and one young man, seeing love develop out of friendship, and feeling friendship for both the old man and the young man. Most of all, it brought me back to my seven years of visits with my dying father and planted a seed for an upcoming book of my own, "Ain't Nothing Going to Kill the Old Man."

Summary: An Inspiration of How to Live & Die
Review: Tuedays with Morrie - As a hospice volunteer, I have spent many hours with terminally ill patients. What I find extraordinary about Morrie and many of my patients is the graceful acceptance of all to come: of the gradual loss of freedom, of the steady decline of physical abilities, of the inevitable death. In addition to that achievement, Morrie chose to focus on teaching others, not to become preoccupied with his own suffering. He rose to every challenge his illness presented. Through it all, he exhibited the spirit and sense of humor we all hope to achieve in our final hours. Morrie has deeply touched millions of people. That, by itself, is a remarkable accomplishment. In doing so, he became a model for courage in the face of adversity. Trite? I think not. Thanks to Mitch for helping Morrie tell his memorable story.

Summary: A waste of time
Review: Read this book and you will learn from a 79 year old man lessons in life that most people learn by the age of 20. It's a complete sham! Mr. Schwartz was an eccentric socialist/liberal that didn't have the decency to step back and pass on quietly, but had to continue to lecture us all to the very end. If you want to read about a man who talks about people wiping his a$$, coughing up green stuff, and attends his own funeral, be my guest. Psycho babble and hypocrisy overflows.

Summary: Flumoxed!
Review: Quelle e matto! What maddness! How did this book every make it to the NYT best seller's list? Tuesday's With Morrie is nothing but a sentimental education. The wisdom he has imparted to Mitch Albiom is common sense but Mr. Albiom has wasted no time in crucifying us with this feel good message. Schwartz's encomiums is that if one listens,smiles,loves, and engages in the basic tenants of existence then life would be alright. What of life itself? How can one reconcile Schwartz's aphorisims to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes? Was Schwartz putting up a brave face or did he permit suffering to be a part of his life as much as his feel-good message? Was Schwartz a man in a flowerchild's body? Or, is his message symptomatic of society's inability to truly embrace the human suffering? (Witness the ghastly sentimentalization of Princess Diana's funeral complete with John Tavener, the glorification of Ophrah and Scott Peck)It is not surprising that a WWF wrestler has now grappled and overthrown Schwartz's empty aphorisisms.

Summary: If You Only Read 1 Book!
Review: Wow, what a book. It took me only an hour to read and I knew how it ended before I even started it. This book still touched me deeply. I can honestly say that this old professor taught me things that I never dreamt needed teaching. It is really so simple. It is hard to describe how much it affected me in the few days since I read it, but it definitely has made a subtle impact on how I deal with people and on how I feel about life in general.Let me say that Morrie's words will continue to change my life for the better. As the Title to the review alludes to: If you only read 1 book, let this be the one.

ON THE FIRST TUESDAY THEY TALK AOUT THE WORLD. MORRIE SAID "LOVE IS THE ONLY RATIONAL ACT" MORRIE TALKS ABOUT A DIFFERENT SUBJECT EACH TUESDAY. FOR EXAMPLE ON THE SEVENTH TUESDAY THEY TALK ABOUT THE FEAR OF AGING. WITH EACH TUESDAY YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND THE WORLD A LITTLE BETTER. IT WILL MAKE YOU EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND THE MEMORIES YOU HAVE WITH LOVED FAMILY AND FRIENDS.IT REMINDEDED ME OF A BED TIME STORY. ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T EXACTLY A HAPPY ENDING IT HAD EVERYTHING. IT HAD QUOTES FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT SHARED MORRIE'S VIEWS AND OPINIONS. THIS HELPED ADD TO THE REALISM OF THE NOVEL. SIMILARLY MORRIE OFTEN TOLD STORIES THAT HAD TOUCHING MORAL. ALSO THE FACT THAT IT IS A TRUE STORY ADDS TO THE WONDER AND AMAZEMENT. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYBODY. IT IS A HEARTWARMING STORY OF TWO FRIENDS BONDED BY SOMETHING MORE THAN FRIENDSHIP. MORRIE GIVES GREAT ADVICE TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES THAT YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM. IN READING THIS BOOK YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

Summary: One to be shared
Review: My husband and I saw the made-for-television movie "Tuesdays with Morrie" and decided we needed to check out the book. I'm glad we did. The story was so touching it brought me to tears at times, and made me smile at others. But, more importantly, it made me think about my life and those I share it with, reminded me how much I have to be thankful for, and helped highlight where my priorities might need adjusting. The humble and inspiring story of Mitch and Morrie is shared in such a way that each sadness, each joy, each discomfort and each pleasure could be felt. Beautiful story beautifully told.
