Condition not accurate

I bought this book as a christmas gift for my mother, who loves reading, and has made it clear she doesn’t care if we get her used books as long as its in good condition. Personally, my price range is limited but when i saw this i was excited because it was very cheap and the description said “Very good - has been read but looks new”. Seemed like a steal until i got it. if i were selling this book i would label it as FAIR condition. it was a hardcover, and the book jacket was stained and disgusting looking, along with the spine showing the pages, as if someone spilt something on it. like i said, i knew the book was used & i expected some minor wear & tear, but i dont think it should have been considered VERY GOOD condition when it was clearly only FAIR. Unhappy and will probably have to remove the jacket when I give the gift because its a little embarrassing. Read full review...

I love Mitch Albom’s writing style. He uses very few words to paint broad pictures.

I can make it simple. The product stank like a seven-day-old in a septic tank. I don’t know where the seller stored the book, but that place should be condemned by law. After I opened the package, not only did the putrid smell pour out like the explosion of a newly active volcanos, but the offensive fragrance lingered for several days. I live in a room less than the size of a prison cell. I don’t need help making it smell bad. I work every day to make it smell good. I sprayed the product with Lysol, but not so much as to spoil the the print. To this day, whiffs of it’s odorous being exist in my home.Read full review...

Light Reading, Leaves Heavy Message

I've heard several reviews of the book and wasn't compelled to read it until I learned how the book/story came to be. The author's candid details of what is considered by most to be one of life's 'peripheral' relationships, comes full-circle and gives the reader a strong 'curtain-call' message, long before intermission. It touches on every emotion at some point and will have you making comparisons to your own life, by the end of the first 'Tuesday'. We tend not to notice certain important things in life which don't yet 'apply' to us but in the end, this story applies to everyone and to read it earlier rather than later, is a gift. Death is certain for all of us and as a frightening thought for most, we simply do our best to pretend it's not out there. In my opinion, this book is an answer to the "What if...". If you don't feel anything by the end of the second 'Tuesday', you may be numb. I strongly recommend you re-read, and finish the book. It's a bit like a cold splash of reality, which oddly, leaves you feeling covered in a warm blanket.Read full review...

Tuesdays with Morrie

I saw the author being interviewed on TV, when Tuesdays with Morrie was mentioned. I missed it when it was so popular in the 1990s, so wanted to catch up.

TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

I purchased the book TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at a time I felt strong enough to read it since my husband fell victim to ALS. For some reason when Morrie Schwartz was featured on ABC's Nightline, and the book makes reference to his appearances, I could not and would not watch the program even though I was a regular viewer of Nightline. Maybe that was a warning that our lives would be touched by ALS. I don't know, but anyway I am glad I purchased and read the book.

In reading the book it was interesting to compare my husband's physical decline with Morrie's, but more than that I loved reading of Morrie's insight about family, marriage, aging, forgiveness and death. Morrie Schwartz was a grand teacher in both life and death.

He taught the writer and teaches the readers a great lesson. "There is no such thing as 'too late' in life."Read full review...

Tuesdays With Morrie

This is a must read. This is a story of one man's life as he tells his story on his feelings of love, friendship and dying. This book is spoken in his own words through his friend Mitch Alborn, Morrie last year of life with the horror of living ALS. Each day brought with new chalange.Morrie looked at each passing day was his last. He faced day with courage and love for those around him. It all started with Morrie teaching his class not at a school but in his home in his den, Mitch was one of the lucky ones that got the opportunity to take his class. Mitch became friends with the professor. In his last year Mitch was with the professor every Tuesday. Hence (Tuesday with Morrie) you will laugh and cry and your heart will go out to Morrie. You will feel as if you were there in the Professor’s office taking his last class. He will explain the progress of the battle with ALS right up to the end. You will hang on every word written by Mitch only to have your heart saddened each weak as he sees his friend Morrie go downhill until the very end Morrie fought and cried wondering why him. But everyone who knew Morrie felt a true loss when Morrie passed. Once you read this you will want to give or buy the book to give to someone else to read.
Again a must read you will be glad you did.

Tuesdays with Morrie is an inspirational book everyone should read . A MUST

After knowing that his favorite college teacher Morrie Schwartz has ALS, Mitch Albom decides to visit him. Mitch has changed since his student time and now work is his priority. After their first encounter they keep seeing each other every Tuesday. In each of these meetings they discuss crucial aspects in life (family, forgiveness, society, marriage, aging) as the professor slowly decays. Mitch's personality and vision of the world changes throughout the book when Morrie shows him a different point of view.

I totally recommend this book because it shows a little of us. How self-absorbed we usually are with non-important matters and how we take for granted the significant ones. This book, based on a true story, is a must. It presents a different perspective of life and death, making us reflect about ourselves. Tuesdays with Morrie is an inspirational book everyone should read.Read full review...
