Book review of Tuesdays with Morrie

The novel Tuesdays with Morrie brought up many interesting feelings and new ideals on the bereavement of death and dying. This short book shows us many things. One of the most important is how to live life and love people. It also teaches us that each day should be lived to the fullest, regardless of the situation. This true story captures the compassion and wisdom of a man who only knew good in his heart.

There are many different background questions approached in this book. Mitch Albom covers a lot of material on a few short and sweet pages.

The author shows his life in hectic panic as he as been hurt everywhere except work, therefore he devotes all his time to his work until he sees an old college professor and mentor on Ted Kaupel, and he rethinks his adult philosophy.
