This book has inspired me more than any of Paulo Coelho's books combined. Every self-seeker has to read this.

Morrie, as described by both Albom and others, rates five stars as a human being who gave a lot in life and faced death with courage and acceptance. However, this isn’t Morrie’s book. This is a book by Mitch Albom, and the book is flawed although its subject was inspirational.

Albom, even in his own words, is not a likeable person. He puts work over family and himself over others. It’s not clear whether he ever changes in the course of the book, or just grows to reflect on the fact...

    This book to me was quite depressing but not disappointing in the sense that it's very much enjoyable.
    I read this a while back and Mitch Albom has his ways of getting his messages to stick.

    The book is about a college professor to student relationship.
    How and old man battles his disease, and how a young man battles his own self in ways subtle yet unthinkable. It is quite a tearjerker but if you want to learn new things about life, grab this book without second question.
    Allow Morrie Schwartz to teach you the way he did Mitch Albom

    This book is like ecstasy, if you are blue,it will turn you black; if you are orange it will turn you red; and if you are yellow it will turn you white.It like overpowering someone else by your thoughts and getting in your mind so much that you loose the power to think even though the voice might ask you to think. It is upto you if you want to listen to the voice, or use your brains.
