Tuesdays with Morrie

The book I read is called Tuesdays with Morrie. It was written by Mitch Albom. It is about a young man (Mitch), who goes to his old professors house every Tuesday to learn life lessons. I chose this book because I read another book, Five People You Meet in Heaven, That was also written by Mitch Albom. Also, Mrs. Henry recommended it to me.

This is a true story about Mitch, the author, when he was younger. He had this professor in college, Morrie, who he loved a lot. They were very close. When graduation came they promised to always keep in touch. However, like most people they lost connection and went on their own ways. Mitch wanted to get back in touch with his professor and learn some more life lessons, but now as an adult. However, he found out that his old professor was just recently diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's diesease. This diesease only allows a person so long before they die. So, Mitch went to his old professors house after many years and they got close again. Mitch went to see his old professor every Tuesday. Every Tuesday they would sit and talk. Morrie would teach him about life and how to live a good cherrised life. Also, every Tuesday Morrie would start to get worse. However, all those Tuesdays that Mitch spent with Morrie taught him something. I believe it changed the person he was to the person he actually wanted to be! =)

This book was an okay book. I think that it is for more older people. I liked how the book really showed the connection between Morrie and Mitch. Also, I liked how it actually talked about and went in depth of some of the lessons Morrie taught. I didn't like though that it was all about grownups, and that it mainly only taught lessons. It didn't have any action in it really. Also, I didn't like how in the book when someone is talking, it doesn't use quotation marks. The author I guess just expects you to know when someone is talking or when they aren't. It was kind of hard to read that way. This book I would say is deffinetly not one that I would recommend to my friends. I would recommend it to older people though. Maybe even seniors in high school. It is just too grown up for kids my age. Also, girls would probably appreciate this book more than guys, but they should still read it too. It teaches some good lessons!
