good book
(Major spoilers)
Tuesdays with Morrie is a drama about an old professor that is dying of ALS and is reconnecting with an old student of his to talk about his condition. It talks about the time they had inside the classroom and outside the classroom. The professor is teaching him to live his life and not let it go to waste because you never know how much time you have. Every Tuesday he goes over and sees the professor because he is too old and sick to get out of the house and he interviews him. The old student is stuck in his work all the time and doesn't have time for his wife or to do anything fun because he just drowns himself in work. The old professor was healthy at the beginning but once he was diagnosed with ALS it all went downhill. He became pale and skinny. He needed people to wipe his bottom and change his clothes, only he could read his handwriting and even if it was summer he would have a coat and blanket over him because he was so frail he was cold all the time. If you do not like sad dramas this book is not for you. I love it so far. It has taught me to live life to the fullest because you never know when it will be your time.

Pretty good book!!!
This an interesting book but as a 14-year-old I wasn't as interested as the past books I've read.

Tuesday with Morrie
Tuesday with Morrie is a great book and really shows how much you can appreciate life even in the dark times. This can give a bunch of hope for people in their dark times knowing that someone has gone through a very bad time with health and still be able to think positive. This book has a very good plot with Morrie and Mitch becoming friends again in Morrie last days. In conclusion I love this book and can show the good aspects of life.

The Worst Book Ever
I hate this book so much. It’s cheap and self congratulatory, Mitch seems stuck up and annoying and I wonder how Morrie and his family put up with him for so long. Very predictable and absolutely nothing I haven’t heard before. The perspective of an old dying man who has accepted his death is nothing ground breaking. “Enjoy life while you’re alive” yeah obviously. Half of the stories Mitch tells about Morrie were probably fabricated by Mitch anyway to make him seem more perfect. Being alive myself makes me sadder than reading this pseudo life advice.

Wonderful lesson but kind of boring
Though the novel was very boring but lesson was wonderful.

Awesome
A beautiful book by Mitch Albom....
The reader feels many emotions while reading this book, ranging from happiness to sadness, and more than likely, will be wiping away tears at the end. It makes the reader think about their own life and ponder aging, forgiveness, family, compassion, and mentors in life, just as Mitch Albom does during the course of the book.
