Summary: Thank you Mitch and Morrie
Review: I've thought about Mitch and Morrie every day since I read this book. Morrie's wisdom puts all of life's worries in perspective. I think of Morrie every time I am driving and screaming at people to go faster or move out of my way. I wonder what Morrie would say to me and this calms me. I had the opportunity to meet Mitch Albom and his love for his mentor was so moving. I appreciate the little things so much more now-- the color of the sky when the sun is setting, my loved ones' laughs, the familiar and comfortable friendship I share with my sisters

Summary: A dying man's message
Review: "Tuesdays with Morrie" is about how a young man and his mentor can find each other, save their friendship and learn a little about life and death. The book has a mixture of all emotions. From the first page to the last, it made you want to laugh and cry at the same time. Mitch Albom was a student at Brandeis University more than 2 decades ago. His favorite professor was Morrie Schwartz. As Mitch goes off and makes a name for himself, he loses contact with his beloved professor. while flipping through the channels quite a while later, he hears the familiar name of his prof. and decides to pay him a visit. Mitch finds out that Morrie has AlS or Lou Gehrig's disease and is slowly becoming crippled. At the same time Morrie is becoming more dependent upon other people, he starts squirting out little philosophical bits of information. Many of Morrie's old students come back to visit him at his house. As Morrie tries to tell them that material things don't matter and how everybody nowadays is just running around only caring about themselves. As Mitch and Morrie spend the next 14 Tuesdays together, talking about the meaning of life. This book was an overall good book and showed the pros and cons to a close-ones death. This book helped me see what is really important in life.

Summary: Inspiring and thoughtful
Review: Mitch is certainly lucky to have a professor like Morrie. I do not remember any such teacher of mine who was so inspiring like Morrie.
This is a true story about the love between a spiritual mentor (Professor Morrie) and his student (Mitch). After graduating Mitch makes a promise to his professor that he would keep in touch. However, Mitch, as any other man or woman in the self-absorbed society, gets busy in his personal pursuits and forgets about Morrie.
One day, Mitch discovers that Morrie has a terminal illness and he visits his old, ailing sociology professor to learn the lesson of life. Morrie talks about a range of things that affect our quality of life - marriage, experiencing the world fully, and emotions. The book teaches you about living your life with compassion and appreciating it before your time is gone.
In a society, riddled with materialistic pursuits, this book makes you stop and ponder the kind of life you are leading.

Summary: 3 and 1/2!!
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is a very sweet book about a dying old man giving his last advice to a young man. The book is very touching, easy to read, and gives a new look on life. Morrie's advice to Mitch is inspiring. He explains the beauty of life, peace in death, and need for love. I would highly recommend this book to people of any age!

Summary: "Carpe Diem"
Review: If you need yet another reminder that you must seize every moment of life to the fullest, then this book might have a transformational, albeit temporary, impact on you. Otherwise, it is yet another person's opinion regarding what a life worth living should be like.

Summary: This book changed my life!
Review: I can't say enough about this book. I read it in 2001, and it changed how I viewed a lot of things; this world, my life, my relationships.
In February 2004 I found out I have MS, and in doing the tests to see if I had MS, they found a cyst in my brain.
After this, I had to reevaluate everything in my life. So again, I went to this book. It comforted me greatly. So now, when I am feeling down, or just need a reality check, I go to this book.
I am eternally grateful to Mitch Albom for writing this book and sharing his experience with us.
Thank you!

Summary: What?
Review: My girlfriend gave me this to read.
I thought it was very bland. I started to read it, realized half way through that I was just staring at the pages and none of it was registering, so I put it down.
I'm not sure what the point of the book was. The story is beyond boring. The author tries to convey life's lessons thru the eyes of a dying old man. Each chapter starts with some generic axiom like "Learn to love" then goes into a bunch of lifeless dialogue where the old man basically tells the author to "Learn to love"
There's nothing interesting or unique about this book.
Don't waste your Tuesdays and pass on this book.

Summary: Spend some time with Morrie, or at least Mitch Albom
Review: I actually enjoyed THE FIVE PEOPLE more than this one, but that said, TUESDAY'S is still a great book. You should read them both. The story is inspirational, full of life (and death), sadness, tenderness, and above all, an excellent portrait of one, no two, incredible men. The book is not long and you'll be amazed at how deceptively simple it seems, but the underlying message is one of greatness. I found the writing to be inspired, much like Jackson McCrae's writing in THE CHILDREN'S CORNER. If you want a book that you'll be recommending to all your friends, pick up this latest Mitch Albom read.
