emotional inspiring medium-paced

3.5

I can't say I didn't like reading this - Morrie did seem like a genuinely great person, and I was touched by his character. But the "lessons" in this book pretty much amount to "live, laugh, love".

This was a great story about an inspiring teacher. I heard about this book several times, with many claiming it’s the best book they have ever read. I thought it was good, but a little disappointed because it is over-hyped. I am not an expert on ALS, so it was interesting to hear about Morrie’s perspective on life, death, and his experience with the disease.
