In my opinon, this book is completely over rated. Although I didn't dislike it completely, and the author did have some good ideas to share with the world, I found the book boring and shallow. It was a good story, but poorly written. Especially after all I had heard about it, I expected it to be so much more heartwarming than it actually was. It was an okay book, but I would not nessicarily reccomend it to anyone.

Great book with a Great message of life and death!! Read it, and then read it again!!
A.J. Hill (10/13/03)

This book's great popularity may depend partly upon its sophomoric and simplistic approach to difficult philosophical questions. "Tuesdays with Morrie" is "easy reading" in its most extreme form. If that isn't enough to turn off the discerning reader, the writing is too often treacly and sentimental. Yet, all of these faults might be forgiven, if the author had anything truly original to say about living (and dying) but he doesn't. If you're in the market for mawkish bromides that have been repackaged and outfitted with a tear-jerker story line, this book may be for you. Otherwise stay away.
