My thoughts on the book...

I thought that Tuesdays with Morrie was a great book. It is probably one of my favorites if not the favorite. As Mitch made clear at the end, it was solely to help pay for Morrie's medical bills. As this may be true, it is also a wonderful work of literature. It has been printed in 31 different languages and in many more countries after its first publishing over 10 years ago. It has helped raise ALS(Lou Gehrig's Disease) all over the world. It has also helped spread Morrie's wonderful views on life's difficult areas like death and relationships. I also thought it was excellent because Mitch actually took part in it. He wasn't getting the story second hand. He was getting it from the closest source with Morrie, and the next best thing, himself. I would recommend this book mainly to those who have questions about the topics covered by Morrie in this book. Also to those who are just looking for a good read. Almost anyone could pick up this book and enjoy it, because it is that fantastic. I would not recommend it though, to those who are stubborn and live life only for themselves. They will just be offended by the fact that someone thinks differently, and they will ignore it and get nothing out of the book but a feeling of anger. The book tells us that if we are given a second chance, like Mitch. We need to take it. Mitch's was to reconnect with an old friend. Someone else's may be to make amends with a long forgotten friendship ruined by a simple and stupid mistake. An other's may simply be to turn their life around. Mitch even took what Morrie taught him and reconnected to his brother in Spain that had left their family and got cancer while overseas. If Mitch had not of done this, he may very well have not gotten time to make up for his mistakes or say good-bye to his brother if his cancer turned for the worse. All in all this book was fantastic and I am so glad that I decided to read it. I'd give it an A+ and two thumbs way up!
