From Amazon.com
No one but Mitch Albom could have read Tuesdays with Morrie so effectively. As the author of this inspirational true story, Albom uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor, empathy, and emotion. It's an honest reading, and the underlying timbre of private memory pushes it past mere recitation to pure storytelling.
The titular Morrie was Morrie Schwartz, Albom's university professor 20 years before the events being narrated. An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to become reunited with his old teacher, friend, and "coach" at a time when Albom, a successful sportswriter, was struggling to define dissatisfactions with his own life and career. Morrie, on the other hand, after a rich life filled with friends, family, teaching, and music, was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, a crippling illness that diminished his activities daily. Albom was one of hundreds of former students and acquaintances who traveled great distances to visit Morrie in the final months of his life.
The 14 Tuesday visits that followed their reunion took Albom--and will take listeners with him--on a journey of reawakening to life's best rewards. The story is told in a journalistic style that never crosses into pathos. That a professional writer can write well is not surprising, but Albom also reads well, with clear enunciation and a talent for mimicry. Another reader might have interpreted the professor's aphorisms as droll humor or wrung a wrong note at an inappropriate moment, making the story a maudlin tearjerker; instead it is read for what it is, a tribute to a remarkable teacher.

Amazon.co.uk Review
This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters, it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? And we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. Finally, we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility.
Finally available in paperback--the first runaway No.1 bestseller and modern inspirational classic by the bestselling author of "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." Albom tells the story of his reconnection with his college professor and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, and their visits in the months prior to Morrie's death.

This book is a master piece , so simple yet so profound. Touched me deeply and made me THINK. Before I started the book I expected the lessons to imply something new, actually I was a bit disappointed in this respect, coz nothing new was said about life , love or death etc.... but the way the whole story is made up.. morrie being dying and watching himself perishing yet still has this great spirit and this great wisdom and still has something to give to others .. he made me stop and think and re-evaluate my whole life, he inspired me and made me wanna be like him, a person with importance,, a person who's life has a meaning and never stops giving..
There was a quote in the story that really toughed me (a teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops) it really made me love being a teacher .(as I am a new teacher and working to be a professor).
And also the idea of his student writing this book about him and immortalize him through the book touched me deeply. thinking me in this distant part of the world knowing and reading about Morrie's story in the other part of the world while he might have thought he was just any one who lived and died with only his family and friends to remember him ..the idea is inspirational and made me wish I've had a chance to meet him and learn from him.. and wish if I can talk to him now and tell him that people this far after these years know about you and are inspired by you.

Having read the synopsis on the back cover,I was pretty excited about diving into this book- Great! Someone who was about to impart some illuminating truths about life that we have missed along the way.
Yes, i'm sure that having very little time left to live would sharpen one's perceptions about life/death etc..And I'm sure it would have provided a v. interesting angle when philosophising about life but I don't feel there is anything 'new' when considering 'life's greatest lesson' to learn. I think there is mention of the most simplest things in life being the best...I felt a bit miffed at this point as I thought, hmm didn't Ms Janet Jackson cover this theme in one of her songs back in the nineties??? Well, as I read on, I felt the all the ideas in terms of lessons to learn were all a bit cliched; With all due respect to Morrie, for whom I did feel all the sympathy in the world as he watched himself slip away from the world...
