Tuesdays With Morrie

Tuesdays With Morrie was okay-- not the best thing I've ever read, but not terrible.

My mother-in-law gave it to me, and my pal, John Harvey said it was a worthwhile read (though somewhat simple)...

I agree. It's a quick read-- maybe took me an hour or two altogether, but I read it in little spurts. It's a little overly-gushy for my liking, but I still managed to shed a soft tear or two.

The basic story is that a young successful student finds his favourite professor again-- just as the old man is dying. They begin having regular meetings on Tuesday, and the student documents the teacher's life lessons. If you've got a spare hour, it might be worth reading.

3 stars.
