Summary: A great book for all ages
Review: I am a fifteen year old male who when was shone this book for the first time was not at all thrilled about reading it. As I started the first page I could not put it down until the end of the first chapter! I think that personally every person should either hear or read the message that this book has to offer. Although not everybody will experience the same message I think that they will have a good one.

Summary: Tender - poignant - caring
Review: I read this book when it was first printed in 1997 and so loved the message and the messengers that I wanted everyone I cared about to own a copy. I have just purchased my 31st gift copy. No home should be withot one.

Summary: Exceptional views on life, living, and dying
Review: I really enjoyed this book and was moved by Morrie's sincere acceptance of his situation and his ideas of how we can all be happy. A time will come when we will all be faced with death, but hopefully we can live our lives by his example and feel no regrets when the time comes.

Summary: A truly wonderful guide for living life to its fullest.
Review: I'm a 22 year-old student who is lucky enough to have been able to read this book at such an early age. The life that Morrie exemplifies in the sight of death is amazing. To be able to read this book and take even just one piece of advice from it can make a person's life more fulfilled. "Tuesdays with Morrie" explains in depth just what it means to stop and smell the roses. I will pass this book on as it was passed on to me in the hopes of helping people stop and see what is really important in life.

Summary: quite profound
Review: Well written and easy to digest book that brings out every emotion. In the process of making me laugh and cry, it made me reflect upon my life. It is about living and how you live than about dying. It's about enjoying and appreciating the gift that is freely given to all of us.

Summary: A quick-read that packs a thought-provoking punch
Review: This book came highly recommended. It did not disappoint. I had a hard time getting around the self-promotional slant of the author, but the real impact comes from the simple, simple message that Morrie presents. He's one guy who had the meaning of life figured out. This book makes a lasting impression.

Summary: Life's Lessons As Only A Mentor Can Provide
Review: Many people think they're are too young to think about death. Many people have not had the good fortune to have a mentor. Mitch Albom does an admirable job in a short space of revealing his progression from one denying mortality to accepting seeing life through someone else's eyes. Realizing that we have more of an affect on someone's life is a difficult thing to accept and to some a burdensome responsibility. Congratulations to Albom for succinctly telling this story, and for giving us a persepective from which to examine our own lives.

Summary: An excellent lesson before dying...............
Review: I love the title of this book. Tuesday is such a "blah" day of the week but Mr.Albom makes it very special with his insightful talks with Morrie Schwartz. This professor/student relationship is so touching that it makes one wish everyone had such a teacher in life. I had heard many good things about this book but had to read it for myself. I wasn't even aware that Ted Koppel had interviewed Morrie three times! Morrie's points about life were poignant and all too true. I wish more people had this insight and not just near the end of one's life.

Summary: Morrie is lovely, Mitch is treacly
Review: Mitch Albom is a successful (as we're often reminded) sports writer who sees his old prof on TV and jumps on a plane to make a buck off him.No, it's not exactly so bad, but it comes close. Morrie Schwartz was unquestionably an inspirational force in the world and owner of a good sense of humor. Unfortunately, the heavy hand of Mitch made the book nearly unbearable. His memories of Morrie as a teacher always seem less about his mentor and more about young Mitch: how much promise he showed, how much Morrie liked him, how impressed his parents were, and on. Though full of self reproach for his consumerism-driven jet-setting ways after college, Mitch never seems sincere. As he chronicles Morrie's last weeks on earth he focuses more on his own metamorphis, his new view of life through Morrie's impending death -- and not without a bit of self-congratulation. Through this sticky Mitch film Morrie shines through, but it's hardly worth it. Order the Nightline specials, or read Morrie's own book. This book might as easily have been called "The Personal Epiphanies of Mitch Albom, Sucessful Sportswriter."

Summary: Incredible Life Lessons
Review: In an age when everyone is busy running, doing, getting, etc., it's nice to read a book that puts perspective on what is really important in life. It's sad that, much too often, we don't appreciate the things that really matter in life until they're gone. I read the book in a day -- and plan to read it over and over again.
