A review by emilymknight
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

emotional funny hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

I think everybody needs a Morrie.

When I began reading this, I couldn't feel connected to the story because my mind separated it from the fact it was a true story, so about half way through I searched Morrie Schwartz on youtube and watched some of his interviews and from that point, as I read, I could almost hear Morris’s voice. 

And as I was reading, I kept finding myself thinking, ‘keep talking, say more, keep going’. We all know from the get go that Morrie dies, but I wanted to delay it. Ahhh all the questions I would ask if I had ever met Morrie. I also found myself throughout my days reading this book thinking, what would Morrie say about this? what would Morrie be thinking right now? 

Loved. This is a book that everyone must read in their lives.
