frankly, i have to say this book is sentimental drivel, if i even remember it. i read it (someone gave it to me as a gift, i think) and quickly forgot all about it. just the kind of feel-good, therapeutic prose that is the stuff of lifetime movies (it WAS made into a movie, didn't it?). save your money.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a "final thesis" between a young man and his old, beloved college professor who is diagnosed with a deadly, unforgiving illness called ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
This book made Morrie's death much more valuable by making it a life lesson for people. People fear death and let it take over them instead of preparing for it and cherishing the moments they have to live. Morrie is only human, and he must have had his fears as well, but Morrie was strong, and he used his death to teach one more class, to share the experience to the public and give others the message of life and death.
Morrie died painfully, but he didn't die lonely. He was a great teacher, husband, father, and friend. He had many loved ones who watched over him. He didn't die without meaning either. He left the world a better place.
After reading this book, I was deeply moved, and I've thought a lot about life and death. I'm still young and I don't really know much about the two broad subjects. After reading the book twice, I truly believe this book is the answer to life.
Life is a long, tiring trip and death is like your last stop to home sweet home and knowing that you've been there before.
No matter how busy or how much your life is filled with earthly activities, this book reminds us of the simple gifts we have in life and to cherish the loved ones. After I finished the book, I've ... Read More

I don't know what all the fuss is about. I didn't think this book was that good. I have read a lot (!!) of memoirs and this one I could only rate at a 1-and that is stretching it. I didn't really get any new (or old) life lessons from Morrie..sorry. I was glad the book wasn't very long because I couldn't have read much more. :(

This is the most profound book I have ever read. I am an avid reader and am always looking for self-help, inspirational, and moving books. This is by far the most moving and inspiring books I have ever read. Mitch Albom did an excellent job carrying on what Morrie hoped he would-his message. Morrie wanted to touch lives and with this book he continues to do so even after his death. I felt a connection to this man, who has been deceased for quite a while now, thanks to this wonderful book. I only hope others will allow themselves the priviledge of getting to know Morrie by reading this book. I will change their lives forever, like it did mine!
