Book Review -
Tuesdays with Morrie is a memoir by Mitch Albom about his relationship with his former sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz. The book tells the story of Albom's visits to Morrie in the last few months of his life as he reflects on his own life and the lessons he learned from Morrie.
One thing that makes this book such a poignant and enduring read is the honesty and vulnerability with which Albom writes about his relationship with Morrie. The book is not just a tribute to a beloved teacher but also a reflection on how we all struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
One of the most compelling aspects is how it showcases relationships' power to shape and transform our lives. Morrie's wisdom and guidance help Mitch to see the world in a new light and to find a sense of meaning and purpose that he had previously been lacking.
Another strength of the book is its simple, straightforward prose. Albom's writing is clear and concise, making it an easy and enjoyable read. The book is also structured in a way that makes it easy to follow, with each chapter focusing on a specific theme or lesson that Morrie imparts to Mitch.
This book certainly leaves a lasting impression on those who read it, but it does not provide any new insights on how to determine what is important for oneself or how to strike a balance between living in the present and acknowledging the reality that many of us may not have a tomorrow. I had mixed feelings about this book.
Overall, the book is worth reading but it is not transformative or particularly impactful in terms of changing one's perspective. I recommend this book to youngsters.
