This book Tuesdays with Morrie is a great book about the author Mitch Albom and his old professor Morrie Schwartz. Morrie is dying, he has a terminal disease. And after Mitch graduated he hadn’t talked to Morrie in many years and finds out that he is dieing when he sees the special about Morrie on TV.There’s 14 Tuesdays that they meet, each time talking about a different topic of life. Basically the whole book is about Morrie re-teaching Mitch about life and all the great things that he should appreciate about it.
I would recommend this book to anyone. I think this book was intended for people of all ages because there are a lot of great lessons to be learned from this book. This book is an easy read so if your looking for a book that you and pick up and finish in a short amount of time than this is a good book for you. The language he uses in this book is pretty easy for the most part but every once in a while you’ll come across a big word. The chances of you losing interest in this book are slim and none, because like I said it’s a good book.
There are really only two main characters in the book. One is Morrie who is the professor that grew up in Brooklyn and has a terminal disease, and is the one that teaches all the lessons to Mitch. The other main character in the story is Mitch who is a business man that tries to fill his life with work and material possessions to compensate for his unhappiness.
In my opinion I think that this is a great book for anyone to read. It is especially good for people who do not enjoy reading, because it is one of those books that keep you awake. It’s a good book to read if you just need a book to read and this book would be good for both genders.
So in conclusion I think that this book would be good for everyone and the characters are great the theme and genre are great and this whole book is great. So go get this book and learn some lessons on life.

This sounds like a very good book. I have heard good things about it, aside from here.
mThis book sounds like an intriguing read, because i liked the movie when i saw it and it almost made me cry. I like books that i can get into and read the whole thing in almost one sit in, and this sounds like that type of read. Definitly going to consider this for my next self selection!
