Book+Review

After reading Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom, I have a lot of opinions. The book was inspirational, sweet, and gift-like. The story of a old man named Morrie Schwartz, was told by one of his college students. Mitch was so into work and no time for life. When he found out about his old proffesor having ALS, he came to a change of heart. I feel like Mitch only wanted to visit Morrie one time when he first found out about his disease. But then, when reality struck him, he wanted to spend as much time with Morrie as he could. He ate lunch with him, talked with him, and shared old memories with his dear old professor. I thought this was really cute. But as Morrie's disease progressed, Mitch's feelings changed. He started to really get the meaning of life. I thought that the book was really life changing. Not a lot of people cope with the fact that someday, they are going to die. It's not something great to think about, but Morrie didn't seem to mind speaking of it. This was my favorite book that I have read with the class all year. It really caught my attention and made me think. I would even read it again, that's how much I liked it! :)
