A.J. Hill

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.

it was a great lesson for all ages in this book tuesdays with morrie


I love the book because of its simplicity. It was able to teach me different lessons in life. Most especially with regards to death and living. I really admire the story for it was my first time to read a novel with this plot. the title really interests me for who mgiht ever think that a man who was going to die offer his service for the last time to his students.

As a young teenager reading this book, I greatly value the lessons I
attained. Typical of me I was selfish, un-forgiving and un-happy.
Seemingly enough I have come to the conclusion that life is not about the
tangibles, especially money, that make me happy. It is about giving,
respecting and realizing that it is better to make something of yourself
than to close yourself in and become unhappy. This book maybe the same
ideas expressed for years, but it only takes a certain tweak on things to
make yourself grasp it at 100%. Don't miss out on this book, young or
old.

I enjoyed this book somewhat. It was very heart- warming and nice. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that is was so repetitive. It conveys a great message. I just didn't enjoy the fact of how , for example, every chapter was named almost the same thing. Other than that, it taught me a lesson I will remember the rest of my life.

I think that Mitch Albom's book, Tuesday with Morrie is the most beautiful book I have read in many years. Its wisdom and compassion will stay with me for the rest of my life. No wonder it has been on the best seller list for over three years. A truly great story of love for one another...teacher and student

I think that I have never read such an inspiring book ever! I had to read it for a book report, and didn't think it would be good, but after reading it I want to read it again and again! It is so insightful and inspiring! I love it a lot!
