Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

I love this book!
I had heard about this book and, since I tend to cry at the drop of a hat, I expected this to set off the water works. But for some reason it didn’t. Morrie seems like he would have been a very interesting guy to know. And you can see how the time with Morrie helped Mitch set different priorities in his life and learn what was important to him. But for some reason I had trouble relating. I think the problem was that it quickly became a list of pithy little sayings, Morrie’s aphorisms, and it started to get trite. It is nice to see someone face what Morrie faced with that much dignity. I think that gives you hope it can be done. But a lot of the wisdom here is not anything we haven’t heard before. And hearing it again still leaves you with the problem of living it out, which the book can’t really help you with. It’s not a bad book but I’m afraid I didn’t find enough depth here for it to have the power that other people seem to have found here.
I had to read this book in a class, and while everyone else liked it, I definitely didn't. The author was trying too hard to make it a deep, philosophical story, and I can't stand books like that. I also agree with another reviewer that it was all so over analyzed that there was nothing left for the reader to interpret.
Morrie is a very inspirational guy. I can't wait to watch the movie about him now.
This book was so but it was amazing
Good book. I like the author's writing. Definitely shouldn't have read it on the bus.
A good book, but I much preferred the Last Lecture. Everything in Tuesdays with Morrie is already analyzed; there is nowhere for people to draw their own conclusions.
A wonderful, inspirational book. I will try to be more like Morrie, and appreciate and enjoy every day. Reminds me a bit of A Stroke of Insight.
This book is definitely one of my favorites and it's also a treasure to have. This book helps you appreciate life and gives you inspiration to tackle the challenges that come into your way to achieving your goals.
