Summary: Wonderful Story
Review: This book was one of the best books I have ever read throughout my life. It is about an old professor teaching a 30 year-old man the lessons of life. These life lessons have proved to help me with my life as well as making me cry when I read the book. This book is wonderful and definitely deserves 5 stars if not 6.

Summary: A Good Subject but Bad Style of Writing
Review: I enjoy tuesdays with Morrie very much. We think we know what is invaluable to our life. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. And as we grow older, we forget more what we do know. And Moore's last lessions have retold us what is the real stuff that is meaningful to you and me.One thing inspires me most is Moore's topic on forgiveness. Mitch feels extremely unhappy and helpless because of his brother. He wants to help him in some way but his little brother rejects his good will. This hurts Mitch a lot. What do you expect Moore to say? Find it out in the book. That is the most touching theme. However, to great disappointment, the author's voice seems a little bit too flattering in the book. Mitch wants to highlight the mightiness of his respectful teacher intentionally and unintentionally. The structure of the book is not as simple as it appears. The prototype Mitch portrays on himself is so selfish and so small in order to contrast with Moore's greatness. This could be a good technique. Yet, Mitch's presentation has finally diminished into some over-cast or unbalanced flavor to convey the subject-matter.

Summary: Spiritually hugged
Review: I walked away from reading Tuesdays With Morrie in one sitting feeling as though someone had just hugged me. The life and death themes of this book refocused me on what things matter most in life. While the book is about Morrie dealing with his own death, I found it more a vibrant book about life. I did feel, however, that while the book deals with issues up to the point of death, it did not cover issues dealing with after death. This is left to the faith of the reader. I loved this book.

Summary: "A Great Teacher .. To The Very End"
Review: TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is a beautiful, true story filled with such wonder and wisdom. Although it is a "no holds barred" account of the impending ALS-inflicted death of Professor Morrie Schwartz .. the unselfish happiness that "oozed" from this gracious, gentle man .. far outweighs the inevitability of his death. His outlook on life .. and death .. is astounding! The story was chronicled on Nightline with Ted Koppel .. and in a TV movie that aired in early December of 1999. His philosophy teachings and love of life is evident in every page. He just plain "loved people" .. especially his students. He was kind enough to share the most precious gift any of us can ever give .. he gave "himself" .. to anyone and everyone who was willing to listen .. and that would share with him in return. He .. as I do .. believed that "sharing your love" and "a little of your time" can make "all the difference" in people's lives .. and that you will be overwhelmed with "what comes back" to you! He was a great teacher .. to the very end. I was so touched by this book .. I read it in its entirety .. in one sitting. I hope you will "do yourself a favor" and pick up a copy .. if you haven't already. Sandy Taylor

Summary: Breathtaking journey, poignantly told
Review: "Tuesdays With Morrie" offers a wonderful story that is simply told, without unnecessary elaborations. I felt deeply touched by Morrie and Mitch's relationship, especially since it was between two men. The book was still a bit uneven. I was more involved in Morrie's life than Mitch's. Although Mitch's journey is the major theme of the book, I got deeply involved in his life only when he talked about his brother. Otherwise, I could not wait until he talked about Morrie. I enjoyed the structure of the book and the way Morrie's biography was presented, bit by bit. Although this book did not make me cry, I felt a profound sadness by the book's end and felt enriched because I found out about Morrie, especially since I go to Brandeis University. This book was a senior gift to my class and it is perfect.

Summary: Being Fully Present
Review: I am eighteen years old, but I have done a lot of living. Most of it started because I had to grow up and help take care of my mother and younger sister after my father died when I was fifteen. He lost a three year battle with cancer. The knowledge gleaned from this marvelous book has let me remember that I am young, and let me be "fully present" in my age. I'm glad I learned his lessons now, so that I may see life through open eyes, no matter how long or short it may be.

Summary: It Makes You Think...
Review: Spending time reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" is actually spending time WITH Morrie. The author's writing style allowed me to get to know Morrie, and Morrie made me really think about what is important in life - about what kinds of things really provide a happy life. Mitch Albom makes it clear that, for all his professional and financial successes, he had missed out on the happiness that his old professor had always embraced. This is an easy to read book that will be hard to forget!

Summary: A Worthwhile Read -- more than once
Review: This book is trite. Make no mistake. Love is all you need. Don't move so fast you fail to see the world around you. Forgive. Reduce life to its bare essentials and mostly you'll get it right. It is wonderful when someone can articulate such wisdom in a way that we can carry it around with us and it is inspiring when someone can live that wisdom in the face of suffering. Albom and Morrie both succeed. I've read the book three times -- and am sure I'll study it again.

Summary: Tuesdays won't be the same.
Review: I've already read it once, and I'm in the middle of my second run through it. I absolutely love this book. I'm having quite a few "Morrie moments" this time. I'm taking longer to read it, and I'm savoring each chapter.
