You know, here's the thing about "Tuesdays with Morrie". Everyone should just read it. Because. It has a good message, and (in a very hopeful way) examines end of life issues with grace, dignity and some delight.
THe story isn't much - middleage, lost former student of Professor Morrie (Mitch Album) begins visiting on Tuesdays, during the final months of Morrie's life. Both banal and profound life wisdom offered mostly by Morrie to Mitch, always in a loving and gentle way.
So, I say, just read it and enjoy, for what it is and what you will take away. And then, the other half of this recommendation is to stay the heck away from anything else Mitch Albom puts out because it is pretty well junk. His gift was in transcribing Morrie's words and his essence.... his other books of "wisdom", such as "The Five People you meet in Heaven" are just bad, in my humble opinion.
How can I NOT rate this up there....... 7-8/10 a generous score

Again, I'm with you on this one. I liked "Tuesdays with Morrie" but Mitch Albom's other books were a huge disappointment (especially "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" - they even made a bad movie based on that one!).
