I read this book because I wanted to know what all the hubbub was about. Reading this book brought out many emotions. Morrie's message really got to me. It's never too late to let someone know that you love him or her. Be compassionate! I can't decide whether or not I thought this book was as good as so many people have claimed it was, but I can say that I was very touched by it, as I know many people were. This book brought me to tears. I understand its popularity now that I've read it.

Morrie Schwartz left an incredible gift for people everywhere in Tuesdays with Morrie. This book is the gem readers don't realize they are searching for as they trudge through mediocre works; the book that reminds us how powerful literature can be. Through the magic of words, Morrie's spirit lives on after his death. He gently reminds the reader that humans tend to become mired in material pursuits that never please us, but we don't realize this until it's too late.

Few books have ever brought me to tears, but as Morrie succumbed to his disease, I felt like I was losing a dear friend along with Albom. I was not a big fan of Albom's second release, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and had difficulty relating to the inner turmoil of the characters. Conversely, Morrie Schwartz inspired something in Albom that enabled him to create a treasure that truly commemorates a great man.

What a great book! It's a quick read, so it would be easy to dismiss it as being too simplistic, but it really contains some food for thought.

Especially near the beginning, I thought the author was being a little selfish, and that the book was more about him than Morrie, but I think that this was a great way to avoid this being a preachy book that said "You should do this", "You should do that", etc. You were seeing this through Mitch Albom's eyes and seeing how what Morrie said affected Albom and the way he lived.

This deserves being read every so often as a reality-check.

Magnificent! Everyone should be so lucky to have a "Morrie" in their life... and to recognize what a gift that is. I thank Mitch Albom for sharing this incredible human being with his readers.

When I heard about how great this book was, I was excited to read it. It taught a piece of wisdom per chapter, as I wanted, but I don't feel that it grabbed me as I expected. In fact, halfway through, I started to scam the pages instead of reading it word for word because it seemed to drag on slowly.

A modern classic. A young journalist travels far to spend every Tuesday with Morrie, his former teacher, to help him die of Lou Gehrig's disease. Try not to drip tears on the pages....a lovely story of how life, no matter how sad, is still worth living, and how this remarkable man taught one more lesson as he moved along the path to his death.

A very thoughtfull book on the meaning of life. No religion is pitched just great philosophy.

I read this one afternoon at a friend's house.. beautiful sweet book

I had to read this book for school and i hated it. i get that its a sad story and all but i really didn't like it. i thought it dragged and by the end i was bored to death

A great story about how much you are affected by those around you, even when you least expect it. I think everyone should read this little book. It reads easily and you want to keep reading to find out what is next. Couldn't put it down.

Mitch Albom's books are always interesting... and I enjoyed this one thoroughly.

another Mitch Albom great...worth the read

I read this book several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed this thought provoking tale of how we look at life. I was delighted to be able to swap for this book for my 17 year old daughter for whom it is required reading in senior English! In my opinion, it should be required reading for all of us, young and old alike. It made me appreicate the life I have and gave me the ability to look with eyes of gratitiude at the world around me.

I just finished this book and found myself lacking a good snappy review. There isn't more for me to say beyond the great reviews already given. The one thing I can say is, when you have finished reading this moving account of one man's acceptance of death and instruction for living, make sure to view the Koppel interviews. It's one thing to read the man's words. It's quite another to listen to them from his lips. I think his epitaph is spot on :o)

A must read for everyone. Its a very fast read. Very inspirational.

Dying with grace, humor and love and the lesson that we are all still learning right up until we close our eyes and say goodbye. Thanks Mitch and Thanks Morrie!

Great book, I enjoyed it.

Wonderful book that truly teaches us about life and how to live it fully!

I loved this book. My neighbor left it in my bookshelf when she moved and I picked it up to read one night when I needed something to read. It was a complete jewel. It makes you appreciate life. I only wish I would have had a teacher such as Morrie.

Got a CASE of kleenex???? Don't open this book without it!
