This book is so good and teaches valuable lessons. Might’ve made me cry on a few occasions too!

This book left me in tears! I was so emotional even knowing how it was going to end. You fall in love with the people and their touching story.

I'm glad that other people seem to like it a lot, but it's just not for me. Not a huge fan of Albom's style of writing, and how he chooses to frame a lot of scenes.  Some parts aged very poorly, though not of any fault of Morrie's or the author's. 

On the other hand, it made me think of the people in my life like Morrie, and I should reach out to them more.

I cried a lot while reading this book. I don’t normally rate books that don’t contain dragons five stars, but, this book makes you think. It encourages you to reflect, and heal, and grow. To learn, i love this book, it was strangely comforting and immensely beautiful.

"Tuesdays With Morrie" is an eye-opening book based on the true story of Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom's old college professor. The values and lessons taught in this book are priceless and inspiring. It deals with challenging topics - from family, to materialism, to death - and Morrie tackles these with ease, continuing to help and give to others, with his wise anecdotes and aphorisms, even through his own suffering. This man's selfless story is beautifully told through the words of his kind-hearted student in this tear-jerking book.
