AwakeningAugust 4, 2008 Some people may say this book is just the same old stuff "re-written". But even if that is true we need to be reminded of these life lessons. To many times in our lives we forget what is really important. Morrie reminds us about everything we all forget at one point or another in our lives. Read this book if you want to be reminded of what really matters in our lives.
For when you need to change pace a littleJuly 31, 2008 Although this book doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, it never does any harm to be reminded from time to time. It's a heartwarming and truthful account of a friendship between an older man in the last months of his life and a younger man who has always been inspired by him.
We're reminded of the importance of caring for one another in a world where we simply don't take time often enough (sometimes never!) to tell people how much we love and appreciate them.
It doesn't shy away from the 'ugly' side of illness and death which people wonder and worry about but hardly ever discuss. It's only human to be scared and to have self pity but we learn how Morrie turned his negative emotions into positive ones, and fear into acceptance and inner peace.
I found 'Tuesdays With Morrie' a refreshingly honest account of illness. Instead of being depressing it was insightful and moving.
Great story line!July 16, 2008 Excellent story line. Loved the characters. Best story to show young children. Life teaches us so much. Great inspirational story.
Thank you, Mr. AlbomJuly 5, 2008 It was a privilege to read about Morrie and Mitch, and to listen in on their conversations. For readers who are willing to open their mind and heart, there are many moments of grace within these pages. Mitch & Morrie helps us reflect on life, love, marriage, forgiveness and even death in way that makes us cherish life all the more. -Christopher Maricle The Jesus Priorities: 8 Essential Habits
Whoops, didn't get what I wantedJuly 3, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My 15 year old daughter gave me a list of books she wanted, this one on the list. I ordered not seeing that it was a version created for a play (He:..... She:.....). I don't recall the description identifying it as such however I might have overlooked it. I did go back and still didn't see this in the description - just a warning to be sure you know what you are ordering.
