this book is my favourite book of all time. it made me laugh, it made me cry...it was just all around incredible. it is a must read for all of you out there...men, women, 12+. i have read it 2 times now, and it is definitely one of those books that i am going to keep beside my bed, and read over and over again. it is the most amazing book out there. i dont know what else i can say other then READ IT READ IT READ IT! you will looooveee it!

May have possibly been the best book I have ever read!! Keep the books coming Mitch.. I await your next one :)

I couldn't put this book down. If there was ever a book to change my life, this was it.

This book is based on true life experience of the author with his favourite professor, Morrie Schwartz. He lost touch with his professor until he turned on his TV to learn that his professor was dying. So he promptly contacted him.

Morrie was diagnosed with ALS, a degenerative muscular disease that has no cure. Stephen Hawkins is a well-known person with this condition. Morrie and Albom reconnect just as in school and they share wisdom during their Tuesday visits on the meaning of life, how to live a good life, how to be happy among other topics.

This is profound book that allows you to reflect on life and I highly recommend it along with "Nexus" by Morrison & Singh. It also has a powerful spiritual message.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Mitch Albom has written an amazing story that will inspire everybody. This book teaches us lessons that we can learn in our everyday lives. A must read.

This book was soo good, I loved it to pieces. You got a real sence what was happening to Morrie and how people around him coped with his illness. This book is really sad, about it is a good read.

in life many people have important stories to share and i'm glad that Mitch Albom shared his.

Sad true story that will have you weeping all the way through. Luckily it doesn't take too long to read!!

This book reminds me of a popular saying: "If God gives you lemons, make lemonade." This is one of the most inspiring story that I have read in a long time. Anyone afflicted or having been around a loved one when dealing with death will surely appreciate the lessons that this book has to offer. Most importantly, always take the time to pass on your wisedom as you never know who will gain from it in the long run. Through his writing, Mitch Albom has created a legacy to Morrie and his inner wisedom.

There are things about life that you never think about until you are dieing. This book gives a different perspective on situations that, I feel, can only come from a person at the end of their life. Morrie is not the most fortunate person acquiring a deadly disease but he manages to teach us all a lesson on how to spend our days. The message he sends on the importance of family and happiness is very profound and for some very comforting.

At the beginning of this book you think you will be drawn in for another "author on the fast track", but as you delve deeper, you realize that the story has a incredibly poignant lesson. Mitch's weekly visits open his eyes to many things that he never noticed before or never bothered to notice before. With each week, the reader gets to take away another lesson with Mitch to learn everything happens for a reason.

Great story especially helpful for those trying to cope with the illness or passing of a loved one. A real testament to the human spirit, just make sure you have Kleenex!

A heart warming read. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. An absolutely must for anyone who has experienced a loss of a loved one. I was given the book after my father passed away. It was a true comfort.
A must read!

This book makes you see the things in life that really matter through the eyes of a man on his death bed. I think it will make a difference in the lives of anyone who reads this novel.

This book came to me when I needed it most- and it made all the difference. I have since bought it, and given it away many time, all to the same result. Everyone should read it once, and that experience will have you reaching for it again and again. When you read it, the moment will be just right.

I really enjoyed this thought provoking book. It is a unique view of what is important in life from someone whose life is slipping away. If you were to die tomorrow would you be happy with the way you lived your life?

This book was beautifully written with many quotable phrases that continue to resonate in my mind even to this day. What makes this story such much more beautiful than what it already is, is that fact that it is a true story. It's amazing to know that real life can be as awe-inspiring as any fictional work of art, to know that some very real people are as heroric as any other super hero. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to those that are deeply thankful for mentors that have guided them through life, or those that are having to say goodbyes to loved ones.

A very powerful story contained in a small package. An easy read that tells the story of a remarkable man who maintains his dignity and positive attitude in the most trying time of his life. Worth the read!

Incredibly poignant and inspiring, this is a book that is a MUST READ for all. Don't let the cover or the small size of the book fool you, each chapter is filled with words of wisdom, philosophy, and truth. This book is able to state the complexities in life with simple meanings based on death, fears, family, age, love, and compassion. You will not regret reading Tuesdays with Morrie, the lessons are something you will carry on for the rest of your life. Best book I have ever read, and truly expanded my perspectives on life.

A great book!!! Very philosophical. Pretty much a book on how one might live life in a better way. Morrie who is dying gives his former student lessons on the crucial matters in life: relationships, marriage, money, love and emotions.
