Summary: A Must Read
Review: With 3 kids, I hardly have a chance to read books, but this was a non-stop page turner and I read it in one sitting. I was extremely touched by Morrie's outlook on life and wish everyone had the same outlook as he did. I wish I had known this wonderful man - he touched a lot of hearts, including my own. This is one book that I will make my children read. By some strange coincidence, after I was done reading it - I realized it was Tuesday. Thank you Morrie for sharing this Tuesday with me.

Summary: Beautiful lessons of life for everyone
Review: A book to be cherished, a book that is making me a better person. I am conciously delaying it to enjoy it for as long as possible..! Morrie is a true mentor and this is the kind of book I would have like to have written myself, it speaks a human language, it is my feeling and approach to life written down in words that make sense. It's written like it is to be loved, like life is to be lived, to its full intensity. I plan to give this book to everyone I know and respect.

Summary: A little portal on life...
Review: "Tuesdays" - the chronicle of a young man spending time with a dying teacher who played a central role in mentoring him, is simply an American classic. Writer Mitch Alborn captures the spirit of Morrie, elicits tears and laughter, and brings us face to face with courage and humor in the face of death. Never afraid of meeting my maker, my feelings were reinforced by the time I spent with Mitch and Morrie. A wonderful read!

Summary: What Matters
Review: My pastor has been encouraging me to read this book for a while and I never really got around to it. One day out of the blue I picked it up and decided to read it. I finished it in two sittings and was left in tears at the end. Through those Tuesday lessons Morrie really figured out how to die so he could live. I makes you reflect upon your own life and take a good look at what you really hold dear.

Review: This book was a very touching story about life and death. It was a book that I would recommend all to read, no matter age. It was sad at times, and funny at times.
It made me look at the life I live, and want to be a better person. It made me want to live a better life, so when it is my time to go, I am not forgotton.
I highley recomment this book for anyone. Especially those who may be struggling with something in their lives. For some reason, this book makes everything, no matter how big, seem managable.

Summary: Superb!
Review: This is without a doubt an honest and candid look at the very essence of life and human interaction. Albom writes beautifully and so eloquently - the words just flow right off the page! I found it very hard to put the book down - it was almost like being there and being a part of the conversations that took place between teacher and student. Life is too precious to waste - it made me wake up to this and make very day count! Everyone should read this and give a copy to a dear friend.

Summary: This is how we say goodbye...
Review: Mitch Albom's 1997 book Tuesday's With Morrie has become an instant classic and for good reason. The story chronicles Albom's belated reunion with a favorite college professor, Morrie Schwartz who was dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 1994. The reunion was sparked by an interview Morrie did with Nightline, while a strike at Albom's Detroit newspaper freed up his time. Seeing his old professor suffering the ravages of ALS convinced Albom to visit him weekly (every Tuesday) to finish "his final thesis" with Morrie. Their "last course" is about the meaning of life, from the perspective of a dying man. Morrie lets Albom and the rest of us in on what's ultimately important in life and it's unfortunately not the things majority of us spend most of our time on. Morrie is without self pity, but openly shares his pains and his losses as his world shrinks before Mitch Albom's eyes. The old professor talks openly about both the things he misses and of those things that are most important in life, cultivating love and friendships, enjoying yourself (Morrie loved to dance) and appreciating the beauty all around us. As the weeks go by, Morrie's disease moves up his body, starting at his feet, than his legs and upward. One of the indignities that Morrie fears most is "the [fanny] wipe test,"...After that it'll be my ability to talk and finally my ability to breathe...I'll suffocate." With every visit, Morrie explained to Albom how far the disease had spread and used subtle tricks to help his student show affection. They talked a wide range of subjects, from money, to marriage, to our culture and death itself. Some of the lessons may seem almost obvious, even simplistic, but if they were so obvious, everyone would be living a balanced life. In one meeting, Morrie explains how he got through it all, by experiencing each emotion, then letting it go. "There are mornings that I cry about all the things I've lost, but then I step back and say, 'So, this is grief," and I feel it, then let it go and move on to other emotions." On his last visit, Morrie spoke only with great effort and Albom was faced with giving up any hope of the miraculous. He looked at the struggling old teacher, he referred to as "coach" and said,
"I don't know how to say goodbye."
Morrie held his student's hand and pressed it close to his heaving chest and replied,
"This...is...how we...say...goodbye."
Albom observed a snort from his old teacher over an apparent final triumph - Morrie had finally gotten him to cry. Through Albom's words, Morrie Schwartz left us all a great gift...a pathway to a fuller and more meaningful life.

Summary: Very Touching...
Review: ...I loved it! It brings death down to a very human level. It makes a person realize how selfish the healthy are, especially when there are people like Morrie in this world. He is dying yet he teaches the the rest of us how to live. I would recommend this book to anyone who is afraid of dying. I think you will view it differently after reading this.
