I wish we could have this attitude towards dying.
Arlena B.

I think this book is a very good navigational tool through life. It provides food for thought on everlasting issues that are so lightly overlooked in our chaotic world and provides suggestions that make us take time to research ourselves and how we are living.

I love it!!! Easy reading, enjoyable and enlightening. Morrie is the buddhisatva who eventhough he is dying, he is thinking of others, living for them teaching people by using commom means on how living is, how we should detach from the material and let go. He surely lives and applies buddhisms phylosophy.

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

Overly Ambitious
Because of all the hype surrounding this book, I decided to give it a shot. I was disappointing.

The author attempts to cover a lot of ground in a very short book, rendering the messages ineffective. In less than 200 pages, Albom recounts Morrie's experiences and life lessons on love, marriage, faith, regret, and ambition. I personally view all of these issues to be very complex; I simply do not get much from a one-page discussion on the benefits and difficulties of marriage. To really offer anything worthwhile in any of these areas, I think that the author needs to explore them much further.

Moreover, I found the author's exploration of Morrie to be lacking. The adjectives used to describe the man were extremely broad: kind, wise. Such broad descriptions failed to show Morrie as a truly complex individual. I would have liked to see his character and mannerisms developed more.

I think that the book had a lot of potential. The lessons provided were worth relaying, and I believe that Morrie was a unique and intelligent individual. However, I don't think that enough credit was given to either of these aspects.

This book was good but it was a little boring.THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN might be better.
