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.

Summary: The ultimate teacher--the ultimate student
Review: I had a teacher like Morrie once--who inspired, who made you laugh, who made you think. What a gift are these teachers--and what a gift is this book, to remind us of what is important, and what are inconsequential distractions in life. Rarely can a book inspire someone to review their life, yet this book did this for me. Have I lived the life I should, am I the person I want to be? Morrie asks these questions in the book, and he makes you look at yourself and your relationships with others with a fresh outlook. Yet, it's not done in a trite, self-help way---it's a very loving, often funny, lesson taught in the very best way possible--by example. I gave copies of this book to everyone I love---and I've never done that with a book before. This book is a treasure, a gem.

Summary: Spiritual Heart Warming Book
Review: If you don't look at life a comepletly different way after reading Tuesdays With Morrie, then you have missed the entire point of the novel. The book will surely make you cry, as Mitch Albom goes back to visit his dying college professor and recives the best outlook on life because of Morrie Schwartz. What a phenomenal man! How I would have loved to meet him. It makes you cry just to see the things Morrie went through and to see how much he offerd the world. Tuesdays With Morrie will set you stright on you path in life; it will change the way you look at every day living, an change the way you feel about yourself and others. A novel not to be missed.

Summary: How many ways can you say, "Money isn't everything?"
Review: OK, I suppose I'm in the minority. But I got so tired of this book! Every Tuesday Mitch goes to see Morrie and, every time, Morrie tells Mitch to slow down and smell the roses. I really got the idea the first Tuesday, and I didn't need the rest. Morrie keeps telling Mitch that money isn't everything. But I kept wondering if Morrie's tune would be different if he didn't have the private nurses to take care of him. Of course Morrie had already died long before I got the book (oops-- I hope I didn't give away the ending...), but as I read the book, I couldn't help wishing he'd get on with it.

Summary: Tuesdays with Morrie
Review: I read this book when my mother was dying. It helped me to live every day to my fullest for myself and for her. It also helped me understand my mother's fears and also her peace. Unfortunately, we in our society are often afraid of death and that prevents us from living life to its greatest potential. What Morrie and my mother taught me was that being able to accept death gives you the power to choose how to live -- even when your days are numbered. I cannot remember a book that has affected me so and I bet I have give 2 dozen copies of it away since I read it two years ago.

Summary: A Teacher's Greatest Lesson
Review: Tuesday's with Morrie was a wonderful book. Mitch Albom, the author, describes his hectic life as a sports writer, jet setting around the world, but missing something. When Mitch accidentally sees his former teacher and mentor from college on Night Line with Ted Koppel, Mitch is curious and contacts him. Unfortunately, Morrie is dying from ALS and as their relationship grows, so does the ravages of this disease. Each Tuesday, Morrie and Mitch have a session where some of life's simplest ideas are discussed. Morrie maps out suggestions for living that are so simple and uncomplicated that Mitch and the reader cannot help but pay attention to such good advice. Some of Morrie's advice comes from tough experiences such as the death of his Mother when he was only eight years old. Morrie tells of never really getting over this tragedy and it was mostly because his father would not discuss it. Sadly, the telegram announcing his mother's death in a hospital is his only momento of her. Morrie decides to make his dying as untraumatic as is possible. He has plenty of time to say good-bye to loved ones and Mitch is included in this special group. Of course, this story cannot have a happy ending because this disease is incureable, yet Mitch is content in the end to go to Morrie's grave and talk while Morrie listens. As Morrie said those you love in this life are always with you in your memories. Professor Morrie Schwartz was a truly remarkable man and the sense of humor he kept through out his terrible suffering and humiliations he endured as his body shrunk to nothing is something I will always remember. Morrie Schwartz was the ultimate teacher and his life was the lesson we all should follow. This book tells you through out to stop and smell the roses. Talk to your friends and family as if you may not see them ever again after today. Love each other and don't let petty problems get in the way of any relationship that means something to you. We never know how many tomorrows we have left. Morrie Schwartz with his books, hibiscus plant and love for mankind was a great guy to know through this book. Mitch Albom did a great job and I recommend this book to anyone because we all share in the lessons Morrie had to teach.

Summary: important things to live by
Review: This was such a quality book. It was well told, and well written. I am sure we all wish we had a teacher like Morrie Schwartz. It supplies some major life messages about love, relationships, fear, and death. I have a grand father that is dieing from ALS and it was so close to reality. I recomend everyone read this book or at least watch the move!

Summary: Mentor, Mentor, Intellect Bright!
Review: I found "Tuesdays with Morrie" about a year ago, heaped on a bargain table outside a Walden's Book Store in Pennsylvania while I was waiting for my daughter and son-by-marriage to finish their great hunt to take books back to Germany where they make their home. I had, of course, heard Albom's story and eagerly began reading the book from the back to the front. Who knows why? Quickly, I saw that I had to begin at the beginning. What a delightful, insightful journey! Morrie and Mitch touched my heart by their ability to find comfortable places in each other's hearts and by their unabashed openness and willingness to share with strangers. Before we left Walden's, Morrie became my mentor, too. He gave me the idea that the sooner you learn what's important, the sooner you start doing what's important. That motivated me to drop off the fringe stuff and concentrate on the core projects. Morrie and Mitch left me with the belief that one of the gifts each one of us has to give the planet is our open hearts. Every single person on the planet needs to read Morrie for what Morrie can tell each one about himself or herself.
