Honestly, I have never read a more moving and emotional book than Tuesdays with Morrie. There were points where I had to set the book down, wipe away tears, and regain my composure. Mitch Albom gives a truly remarkable account of his interactions with a truly remarkable human being.

This is a very powerful book about feelings and everyone - especially men - should consider this a staple in their library. The actual footage of Morrie and Ted Koppell really help bring the book to life and a must see for any Tuesday with Morrie fans! READ IT - IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

This is one of the most wonderful books I have had the privilege of reading. Even as a young African-American woman, I could easily understand and appreciate the life lessons taught in this book. It was also a quick read (something any college student loves.) I wholeheartedly recommend Tuesdays with Morrie to anyone with a heart.

This book was wonderful! Beauty of the human spirit was in every chapter, wisdom of age and friendship, laughter that was unexpected and shared joy and sadness in the being of Morrie, and the passing of Morrie.

Tuesdays with Morrie was given to me as a gift by my dearest friend, and it moved me so much I have decided to give it to everyone I know on their birthdays this year. Everyone can find a spot for Tuesdays with Morrie on their bookcase.

An Easy Read with a Good Message
Review written by: diane killigrew From
I read this book for my high school summer reading because I thought it was going to be a quick and easy read, but it turned out to be me much more than that. "Tuesdays with Morrie" is a book about Mitch Albom and his favorite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. Over the years Mitch and Morrie lose touch until Mitch see's Morrie on TV and discovers that his favorite professor has Lou Gehrig's disease. Mitch decides to visit Morrie, not knowing that his weekly visits will soon change his life forever.

At each lesson, Mitch watches Morrie's illness progress. Soon Mitch discovers that his weekly meetings with Morrie are more than just a visit with an old friend, it's a discussion on how to live your life.

"Tuesdays with Morrie" turned out to be a truly inspirational story. Mitch Albom's writing style not only kept the book interesting, but he also taught me a valuable lesson. Enjoy each day as if it were your last.

Good, Not Great
Review written by: Barbara Kent From
I had heard so much about this book and it continued to be on that "must read" someday when I have available time. So I finally got around to it. I am glad I read it. I find that I like Mitch Albom's style of writing (I also just finished The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I find him to be clear, concise and not overly descriptive -- I can not tolerate authors who need many pages to describe the color of the autumn leaves!

Yet, maybe because of the hype, I expected more. For some reason, although I appreciate the soundness of Morrie's philosophies, I felt they weren't presented in an inspirational, life changing style. Overall, it left me somewhat flat. (And for me, that is quite unusual.)

However I am thrilled that it's another off of my to be read list.

The best thing about this book is: "We don't see what we could be."
Review written by: Norman Jones From
The author of this book does a nice job of realying what the dying professor wants people in our country to hear before he passes on. For me the best message Professor Schwartz delivers is in these words that are so applicable to the problems our country is facing and our leaders just don't get it: He said, "We don't see what we could be." The prof goes on to relay the message that we are lacking compassion for one another and he got that right, didn't he? Norman Jones, Ed.

A must read!!
Review written by: James R. Guischard From
I read this book after reading five people you meet in heaven for school going into the book I had a positive attitude. Since I read five people it was very meaningful and had a clear message that it was trying to send and I knew tuesday's with morrie would be the same as well. I have not been a very avid reader in recent years, but with this book it put me on track to start another book as well as another Albom book. This is a great author, he needs to write more because I would read and very quickly. The text is very easy to go through if determined two or three of his books could be read within a day or two.

Sad, Weighty, Profound - An Intriguing Examination of Life's Philosophical Questions
Review written by: TW From
Facing certain death in a predetermined amount of time likely produces some of the most meaningful reflections of one's life. I suspect anyone at facing this would have a far more grounded viewpoint on the significance of material and philosophical aspects. In Tuesdays with Morrie, we are privy to conversations with Morrie Schwartz, a Brandeis University professor who died of Lou Gehrig's disease, and one of his affected students named Mitch Albom.

Each chapter represents a conversation Morrie had with Mitch trying to provide some lasting guidance and perspective about life. What makes this book especially profound is that Morrie is not just an ordinary person forced to reflect on his life, he in fact had spent a lifetime studying human expression. The bulk of the book will give any reader pause, a point of relativity that enables one to consider for a moment what is truly is important.

This book is short, sad, weighty, and most importantly profoundly valuable; one I'd recommend to anyone with an interest in examining life's philosophical questions.
