Product Description

From Amazon.com

This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail Hudson

The last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling Read, April 21 2005
This review is from: Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson (Paperback)
Not only is this an enthralling read but it is extremely inspirational as well. There is so many lessons to learn from this one of a kind book. Thank you Mr. Albom.
Other great reads in non fiction- Katlyn Stewart's NIGHTMARES ECHO and Jackson McCrae's THE CHILDREN'S CORNER

5.0 out of 5 stars All time favorite book!, Feb 6 2012
This review is from: Tuesdays with Morrie (Paperback)
I read this book every year! It reminds me on how short life is and how important it is to love. We live in a rat race. If we don't stop ourselves for a moment, life passes us by. Great lessons to be learned. I bought this for a friend whose father has fallen ill.

3.0 out of 5 stars Once You Learn How To Die, You Learn How To Live !!, Feb 7 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson (Hardcover)
This book has received a lot of positive reviews over the years from the book-reading community. My personal view is that it may be slighly over-accredited. The book will however inspire you to think about life !!

Mitch Albom shared with us his real life lesson from his old college teacher Morrie (the 'Coach' as he called him), who was dying of ALS disease. In his so-called fourteen-week of lessons, Albom was enlightened and inspired by Morrie about "the meaning of life". Topics like Death, Family, Emotions, Money, Marriage, Culture, Forgiveness were covered.

I feel like Mitch Albom didn't put much time and efforts in writing this book. He just finished this as a project which he promised and felt obliged to Morrie. The depth of content is shallow, even it covers pretty lofty topics. Many of the pages are spent talking about Morrie's getting-worst-every-week dying conditions, while only a small fraction of the paragraphs are used to describe Morrie's conversations and his 'teachings' to him.

The structure of the book is also quite loose. Flashback memories written in between chapters are confusing sometimes, and look like they're just to fill up pages. Some of these 'interlude' paragraphs don't really have much relationship with what was written in the previous chapters.

The intention of the author, though, is still good. It could well be a good introductory book for teen or young readers. As for me, who is approaching 50 years of age in two years, this book seems to be too elementary with the depth it covers.

Now, tell me what you think....
