From Amazon.com

No one but Mitch Albom could have read Tuesdays with Morrie so effectively. As the author of this inspirational true story, Albom uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor, empathy, and emotion. It's an honest reading, and the underlying timbre of private memory pushes it past mere recitation to pure storytelling.

The titular Morrie was Morrie Schwartz, Albom's university professor 20 years before the events being narrated. An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to become reunited with his old teacher, friend, and "coach" at a time when Albom, a successful sportswriter, was struggling to define dissatisfactions with his own life and career. Morrie, on the other hand, after a rich life filled with friends, family, teaching, and music, was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, a crippling illness that diminished his activities daily. Albom was one of hundreds of former students and acquaintances who traveled great distances to visit Morrie in the final months of his life.

The 14 Tuesday visits that followed their reunion took Albom--and will take listeners with him--on a journey of reawakening to life's best rewards. The story is told in a journalistic style that never crosses into pathos. That a professional writer can write well is not surprising, but Albom also reads well, with clear enunciation and a talent for mimicry. Another reader might have interpreted the professor's aphorisms as droll humor or wrung a wrong note at an inappropriate moment, making the story a maudlin tearjerker; instead it is read for what it is, a tribute to a remarkable teacher. (Running time: four hours, three cassettes) --Brenda Pittsley --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Repackaged platitudes, Jui 29 1999
Par "jkdanni" (Chicago, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book is unremarkable. ALS is clearly a terrible disease and Morrie clearly has some strength of character. However, the book's main messages -- enjoy the simple things in life, love one another, maintain a positive outlook, slow down, turn off your cell phone -- are poorly-communicated banalities. The book lacks depth and is written in a style that manipulates the reader's emotions rather than enabling a spontaneous reaction. Remove this book's disingenuous wrappings and you are left with a trimmed-down "Life's Little Instruction Book." Plus, I question some of Morrie's behavior. Close friends choosing to honor me with eulogies while I am still alive would be wonderful -- initiating such a 'living funeral' for myself would be a bit odd ("Come tell me how great I am before I die.") A favorite student choosing to write a book about my life would be wonderful -- planting the idea in his head and helping him outline the book would be a bit odd. And what about the author? Was Albom truly changed by his conversations with Morrie or has he gone back to his workaholic way of life? I suspect the latter since the author only spent his Tuesdays with Morrie since he was on strike and couldn't go to work. Finally, how did Morrie's wife Charlotte feel about all this? Would she say that -- by creating a media circus with Ted Koppel and camera crews filling the house -- Morrie lived up to his own aphorisms and made it clear how much he loved his family before he died?

1.0étoiles sur 5 Tuesdays With Mitch, Déc 26 2003
Par Robert Slocum (STAMFORD, CT USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
My wife and I have been married for twenty-eight years. We don't agree on everything. But we both agree that the first Lord of the Rings movie was boring, post-Shire, and we both agree that Tuesdays With Morrie is a waste. Perhaps we're simply not attuned to the nuances of digitized action in the one case. (It isn't the violence per se that we didn't like. We both loved The Last Samurai.) Perhaps we're not attuned to the varieties of human emotion and experience in the case of Tuesdays With Morrie. But I think not. We have raised two boys, we have elderly parents, my father has died.

Anyway, we're kind of normal, but obviously we've missed the zeitgeist on Morrie here. Actually, Morrie is perfectly cool. It's Mitch who is so totally annoying. Let me illustrate: Morrie goes on for several pages about his kids and how great they are. This is early in the book. He's clearly in love with life and with his kids. After he's done rhapsodizing about how great his children were and are, Mitch asks, "So would you do it again? Would you have children again?"

How can a dolt who isn't even paying attention to this charming guy Morrie be trusted to convey the story?

Oh well, I'm happy when a book stays on the best seller list for ten million weeks, since it indicates that a lot of people are enjoying themselves reading it. I wouldn't necessarily post this review except that my secretary just gave my wife a copy of Mitch Albom's new book for Christmas. That's so funny.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Not very persuasive., Déc 15 2003
Par "adam13689" (Cape Coral, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I heard so many good things about this book, I thought it would be something that changed my outlook on life. Instead, it was basically a sappy Lifetime movie in book form.

It was funny how Morrie ranted about the evils of money, considering he lived in an upscale suburb and hired a small army of caretakers who constantly tended him and his medical equipment. I'd like to see someone else in Morrie's situation who can't afford top-notch 24/7 in-home healthcare talking about how people shouldn't be so money-hungry.

Furthermore, the book was not at all persuasive considering the author did not address how Morrie's philosophy (which is that of pretty much every liberal college professor I've encountered) changed his life. And to my knowledge, it didn't. If Morrie couldn't sway the author despite their supposedly intimate relationship, how is his story supposed to have a strong effect on anybody else?

If you're the type to get worked up over Hallmark cards and soap operas, you'll like it. For everybody else, it's an overrated melodramatic waste of time.
