Summary: The BEST book you will ever read!
Review: When this book was recommended to me, I didn't hesitate to buy it & I highly recommend it. What a beautiful, heartfelt, wonderfully written story. Mr. Albom captivates the reader from the beginning & never lets him/her go. Definately the best book I have ever read. The movie was also a very well-written adaptation of the book...everything I imagined it to be. A difficult feat to accomplish for most books-turned-to-movies. If there is one book that should be in everyone's personal collection, this is it.

Summary: An excellent story.
Review: Tuesdays with Morrie is one of the few books available that seem to encompass the true meaning of life. Mitch tells the story of his meetings with his dying professor, Morrie Schwartz. Through these tales we are given the opportunity to look into the mind of a dying man. Morrie's hopes, fears, and dreams are given to us with the hope that we may learn from them. The book feels different because it was written by a journalist not a novelist. Albom wraps the book up in a way that few authors have mastered. It may end prematurely, but it leaves the reader feeling fulfilled. It is a heartwarming tale that has the ability to give your day a little more meaning. The book may not be a challenging read, but it does make a reader think.

Summary: I look forward to reading this to my 7 year old
Review: I am always trying to teach my 7 year old son about morals and values and what really matters in life. With him being an only child I often say to him "The best things in life aren't things". This hardly competes with Pokemon cards, Nintendo 64 or spiders but at least I know now the only thing I need to do is read him this book. It will be perfect. After you read it you'll know why.

Summary: Don't pass this one by.
Review: "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom is a gift from two people. The first person is Morrie Schwartz, who used the process of his death to instill in people an urgency about living fully and truthfully, not just mechanically according to the dictates of one's culture. The second person is Mitch Albom, who recreates his experience of Morrie so vividly that I feel as if I gained a friend in Morrie and suffered a deep loss in his death. Albom lets us feel his heart in the story so honestly that something in me relaxed around the discomfort with the topic of death. And while I really like the wisdom that Morrie imparted to Mitch, what stays with me is the passion for life that Morrie had - it is palpable and contagious. If you catch it, it could heal something in you. To readers interested in discovering a fuller life, I highly recommend "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel and Shya Kane. This book is for anyone who wants to live each day with self-expression, satisfaction and love. Many books have pointed the way for me, but this one went right to the heart of the matter - that trying to fix yourself keeps you stuck in the places you'd like to be free of, but getting into the moment will set you free. Just in reading and re-reading the book, I've found myself falling into the space of living in the moment and my life has become miraculously easier. This book is truly a gem. Don't miss it.

Summary: Unexpectedly I cry and not to finish it
Review: Definitely I can't stop reading but I don't expect I would cry. I did and at the moment, I don't want to finish it. I am afraid to read how he leaves us. I would like to pay my sincerest tribute to Morrie. He does remind me what we have forgotten. "TO LOVE OR TO PERISH!"

Summary: Reviews are hard to write through tears
Review: Mitch, and Morrie, have dared to share something special with us, but finding the words to describe it does not come easy. It is not just that they shared closeness and tenderness. It is not just that they shared their love for one another. They have moved beyond the meaning of these words. Mitch and Morrie shared a connection that is at once thoroughly human and exceedingly rare. Their story is about what being human is supposed to be - connecting, relating, becoming more with you than I could ever be by myself. Read this book in a quiet place. Take tissues. And when you're finished, get up and tell someone how much you care about them.

Summary: Morrie teaches life...and death.
Review: This book would be a wonderful text for a "death class" or for psychology. In his own inimitable fashion, Morrie can teach more about life and its true purpose and the coming of death than can any textbook. -a teacher

Summary: A nice book but........
Review: I enjoyed the book and Morrie was a great man, but get a grip people! This tiny book says "I tell you Mitch, you've got to stop and smell the roses" in several ways, over and over again. Americans have really got to stop raving over this book and read something a little more challenging. It may give you a headache at first, but you'll get used to it.

Summary: Morrie tells his story & everyone listens
Review: Morrie wanted to share his upbeat philosophy of life and how that should carry over in his death. If he were alive today, he clearly would be staggered by the number of people who took the time to listen. I bought this book two years ago based on great reviews but couldn't get excited about reading a book about death. I even skipped the movie. But after finally picking it up, I throughly enjoyed the quick, insightful read that makes everyone re-examine their life's values, including me. Morrie was clearly an exceptional human being. We've all had great teachers but this guy was the ultimate with the joy and love he took in his craft. Mitch Albom is a typical American caught in the American dream without realizing there is a problem. I applaud Mitch for writing this book and softly admitting some of his past sins. My only complaint is that I wish Mitch had been able to more definitely conclude the issues he may or may not have with his brother. But this is Morrie's book. I spent the next day trying to recall if I had met anyone quite like him. It's difficult to live up to the high standards he sets. An excellent read and excellent lessons we should all remember.

Summary: mitch, you get a "c" because.....
Review: recently, i have read a few books written by newspaper writers instead of traditional book authors. unfortunately, i have been more disappointed than impressed. i love newspapers but when reading a book, i expect more depth and detail than when i read a newspaper. this book was good, primarily, due to the subject matter, not the writer's ability and technique to inspire the reader to tears or recommend the book to everyone he knows. although this book has been on the best-seller list since god was in diapers, i really believe it could have been considered a classic if more time would have been spent sharing the funny and touching stories that morrie's friends shared with him in the months before he passed. maybe there will be a second book to continue morrie's legacy?
