Beautiful true account of the author's time with his old college professor and friend, who is dying. Very touching and a great life lesson.

The particular paperback book I received was highly marked up with highlighter....which is a bit distracting and I wouldn't buy it again. I can still read it, but I won't resell I will discard it. I haven't finished reading it but so far it's enjoyable.

I bought "Tuesdays with Morrie" because I read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and really liked it so I wanted to read the other books that Mitch Albom had written. I found "Tuesdays with Morrie" to be an inspiring book bout the love of a man (Mitch--author) for his mentor (Morrie), and how Morrie gives Mitch a second chance to discover life through his dying friend. they talk every Tuesday on such topies as family, death, feeling sorry for yourself, and emotion. Morrie is able to take his own impending death and teach us how to live. I will re-read this book---much slower this time! There is so much to digest that one really needs to read a chapter at a time and reflect on what you have learned after each chapter. I loved this book!
I saw this book on Oprah of all places. I had heard it was a good book and I was curious what all the hype was about. I ordered it and received it quickly. I started reading it after I had attended 2 funerals in 15 days of close loved ones. What I didn't know then was that was the perfect time. This book tells the story of a dying man who wants to make sure everyone around him knew he loved them. He didn't wallow in the fact that he was dying. He celebrated the time he had left to tell those around him how much they meant to him. It is a wonderful story that everyone needs to read. That life isn't what you buy, its who you love and who loves you. Make sure they know how they effected your life and how richer your life was because of them. It makes alot of sense and makes you think. wonderful book.Read full review
