Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie" is a heartwarming story about a
charming, old professor, Morrie Schwartz, with ALS. Mitch, a former student in his late 30's, decides to visit Morrie again after seeing him on a television interview. He sees him in his crippled state and feels sorry for him, but Morrie is happier than ever. Morrie is extremely positive and wants to enjoy the time he has left. Mitch comes up with a list of questions he wants Morrie to answer. Topics include: the meaning of life, family, and marriage. They meet every Tuesday at Morrie's house. They become closer and closer every time they see each other, but Morrie's condition is also declining. Eventually they become best friends and then Morrie dies.

I really liked this book because Morrie is so delightful and intelligent. He has a lot of good advice, too. It was a sad book because every time Mitch came to see Morrie's ALS had gotten worse. I liked the style of writing, it was easy to read and enjoyable. Overall, "Tuesdays with Morrie" was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to people looking for a charming story with

--some great advice.
