I read this book because I wanted to know what all the hubbub was about. Reading this book brought out many emotions. Morrie's message really got to me. It's never too late to let someone know that you love him or her. Be compassionate! I can't decide whether or not I thought this book was as good as so many people have claimed it was, but I can say that I was very touched by it, as I know many people were. This book brought me to tears. I understand its popularity now that I've read it.

Morrie Schwartz left an incredible gift for people everywhere in Tuesdays with Morrie. This book is the gem readers don't realize they are searching for as they trudge through mediocre works; the book that reminds us how powerful literature can be. Through the magic of words, Morrie's spirit lives on after his death. He gently reminds the reader that humans tend to become mired in material pursuits that never please us, but we don't realize this until it's too late.

Few books have ever brought me to tears, but as Morrie succumbed to his disease, I felt like I was losing a dear friend along with Albom. I was not a big fan of Albom's second release, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and had difficulty relating to the inner turmoil of the characters. Conversely, Morrie Schwartz inspired something in Albom that enabled him to create a treasure that truly commemorates a great man.

A powerful book--I'm puzzled by the other member who said it was too sentimental. I hate fiction where I feel like I'm being jerked around and made to cry, but this is the real deal. I think most people can learn a lot from this book about approaching the end of their life and the end of the lives of others by reading this book.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Before reading it I would not have thought you could learn about life and living through death and dying, but I would have been wrong. This book moved me and taught me much.

This was one of the most touching stories I have ever read. The author made you really connect with the main character Morrie. This book is very much worth reading.

I marked this here as a placeholder because, while I read this book several years ago and enjoyed it, I actually read now an online serialized book Albom wrote for the pandemic called The Human Touch. About four families, all neighbors, and how they made it through the pandemic. While in the early days there was fear and discrimination and illness and death, by the end everyone had come together in a new normal and were getting through. The message of course was that as Americans we can all join together to get through this time.

I was sent this book before I started my first semester at college. We were supposed to read it to go over in our comp class. I didn't really know what to expect from it, but once I started it I couldn't put it down. I think it took me 2 hours to read it from cover to cover.

I have read this book many times and I am still touched by it. I don't know what happened to my copy but I think it's about time for me to read it again.
