Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom (1997, Hardcover)

Hey everyone! I loved the book, but I couldn't make myself read the last chapter, because we all know how it ends. I cried my eyes out the entire book, but I had to read it for a class. Morrie is this sweet fragile man that you just can't help but love! =] I would recommend this book to anyone that loves old people or has a special sympathy for them.
If you found this review at all helpful please vote "yes!" Thanks -Liz

Few books will touch you as deeply as this. In this retelling of a true story, we find two people who come together after many years to teach each of us the importance of friendship and frialty of life. You will look harder and deeper at each your friendships, the current and forgotten. It is never too late to rekindle a friendship and we all need each other deeply.

This is a book every person should read and own. It is not a book to read once, it is a book that should be read multiple times. Read it when things get tough or when things are great, you will learn and appreciate more everytime.

It took me until last week to finally read this book after not being a "book reader" or one who watches many movies. I can honestly say that after the few hours it took to read it I have a different outlook on life. This should be required reading for every human - we all could learn a great deal from Morrie and make this world a better place! Do yourself a favor a get a copy - you'll be a better person for it.

This is a funny little book, not literally funny. I took a class in college called psychology of death and dying. My professor used this book, it was actually a required text for the class. We had to explore everything about the way Morrie approached his life and dying and write a 4 page essay on it. What I learned the most from this book is that to except death is ok. Morrie never dwells on the sadness of dying more on how full his life had been. The Author had a harder time dealing with Morrie's upcoming death than Morrie did himself. I found this to be a beautiful, positive approach to death. I hope I can be the same... It's quite a small simply wrote book, great for the person who has a hard time reading a 500 page book. Although when I bought it at the campus book store you'd die if you paid what I had to pay.

I bought this book because all my friends around me highly recommended it. And I'm glad they did! It's short and easy to read, and simply amazing!

I had heard very good things about this book and I thought it might be a book I might like to read and that my Dad might enjoy it also. There was nothing that I disliked about this book. It was so well-written and you learned a lesson from it on almost every page. My dad said it was probably the best book he had ever read(he turned 84 in Feb.) and it probably one of the best books I've ever read. I would recommend it to anyone at all.The story was simple but very powerful,well worth the read!

I did not receive the book I purchased!!! How can I make a review ?? Please help me contact the person who sold the book. thank you.

first and foremost thing i haven't got my book yet nad more over i have sent 4 mails asking for details when it will be mailed and so far no reply on it also.

I purchased this book because Mitch Albom was the guest speaker at my daughter's college graduation. I found him to be very captivating. I was truly taken with his recounting of Morrie Schwartz. The book didn't disappoint me. It was very enlightening. If I had had a professor like Morrie when I was in college, my life would have a different meaning. Thank you Mitch for sharing Morrie with me!

This book is well written. Once you start it, you can't put it down. It is not very long and has such a great meaning with it. I bought this book to send to my old boss, also my mentor.
Another great book by Mitch Albom is "The Five People You Meet In Heaven".

Tuesdays with Morrie is a masterpiece, on par with Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
It provides a fundamental perspective of human existence, it's
beauties and challenges as seen through the eyes of Morrie, Mitch's school teacher. Written well. A must read book for every mature adult.

This is a sweet and touching story about preparing for death and true friendship and compassion. There was no offensive language. Easy to read. I had it completed in two evenings. Highly recommend for book clubs.

I had heard inserts from this book on tv, and found it interesting so I did a search on ebay. This offer was for two additional books by the same author. They were the "five people you meet in heaven", and "for one more day".I have read all three and throughly enjoyed them all. It was a great deal for the three books and they were in like new condition. They were shipped very fast and the cost was very good also. I intend to pass them along to my Sister and my niece. There are life lessons in them we can all use. It also saves time and gas to order online. I live in a small town and probbaly would have had a hard time finding these books anywhere else.

I had checked the book out from our local library and read it. Then I wanted a copy for myself. The book is awesome!! A must read for everyone! The book was in excellant condition and arrived quickly.

I love this book and you really have to read it. This heart warming story is a source of enlightenment. It is where profound wisdom and insights of life are shared. It is beautifully written and it really captures your heart. If you can't get enough from Mitch Albom, read "The five people you meet in heaven" and "For one more day"

I bought this book after seeing the author on Oprah. I could not put the book down; what a remarkable story about a professor and a long lost student.I have since bought another book by the same author and have enjoyed it as well. Great experience again with e-bay!

I've heard several reviews of the book and wasn't compelled to read it until I learned how the book/story came to be. The author's candid details of what is considered by most to be one of life's 'peripheral' relationships, comes full-circle and gives the reader a strong 'curtain-call' message, long before intermission. It touches on every emotion at some point and will have you making comparisons to your own life, by the end of the first 'Tuesday'. We tend not to notice certain important things in life which don't yet 'apply' to us but in the end, this story applies to everyone and to read it earlier rather than later, is a gift. Death is certain for all of us and as a frightening thought for most, we simply do our best to pretend it's not out there. In my opinion, this book is an answer to the "What if...". If you don't feel anything by the end of the second 'Tuesday', you may be numb. I strongly recommend you re-read, and finish the book. It's a bit like a cold splash of reality, which oddly, leaves you feeling covered in a warm blanket.

Even though Morrie is diagonas with MS he prepares Mitch for the last two stages of life, making a family & death. Through the meetings on Tuedays Mitch starts to relaize life is more important than meeting all those deadlines of a job. People now days don't know what family time means and most of all people are scared of the one thing that happens to everyone death. This helps people answer some of those unknown questions. The reason I brought this is because I read it before in high school & touched me so much I wanted it in me collection.

I purchased this book because I got another one of his books for Christmas. The 5 people you meet in heaven - what a great book. I loved it so much, I had to try out his other books!

I love the author, Mitch Albom. I have read the book before and then wanted to have it in my collection to read again and again.

If you've seen the movie first, you might think it's a waste of time to read the book...WRONG! I loved this book and still reread alot of the notes I took while reading it. We use this book in one of our humanities classes at our local college. I'm not sure if it's my age, but at age 40+ - it meant alot to me and spoke LOUD AND CLEAR! Life is short and it's better to focus on the things that count - like the ones you love. READ THIS! It's great food for thought!

i would recommend this book for anyone who just wants a quick relaxing little read. I enjoyed it, even tho it hits on some pretty heavy issues, like aging, and death, etc. it manages to do it in a nice simple way that draws you in as if you're sitting there in the garden with the birds, gazing at a rose, without another care in the world.

I bought the book as my father passed away from ALS last year, this way my children can read the book when they are old enough so they may remember the way their papa fought his disease. The book is very moving and emotional, much better than the movie. Mitch is an excellent writer and I intend to purchase all his books.
