A Book Review (Part I)

Title of book: Tuesdays with Morrie

Author: Mitch Albom

Publisher: sphere

This book is a famous novel written by an American writer, Mitch Albom. It was also produced as a film. This book tells the true story between the writer and his professor who has been retired. After reading it, I found this book inspiring and it gives me my life’s greatest lesson.

When the writer was studying sociology at the university, Morrie was his professor. In the 16 years after he graduated, they hadn’t met even for once. But after the 16 years, the writer visited the professor because learnt the news that he had got a disease and then they started the lesson on every Tuesday, talking about the World, regrets, death, family, money, love, forgiveness, and in the last lesson, they say Good-bye and Morrie died. In these 14 lessons, Mitch learns these topics afresh and gets to know more about him. Throughout the story, a radio show ‘Nightline’ is mentioned, talking about the situation of Morrie. I would like to let you find out the rest of the story by yourselves and now I am going to talk about my feedback.

A Book Review (Part II)

After reading the book, I have a new perception towards life and to be more treasurable to the things and people surrounding. In the book, Mitch says “Once you learn how to die, you know how to live.”. I don’t know if I truly know what it means. But my understanding is how I live means how I enjoy and how much I enjoy. Everyone must go to death; no one can be escaped from it, but with blaming? Never. Another big matter is love. In my eyes, love is shown to me in the book. Have you ever think of how love goes on? Perhaps only some of you do. In today’s modern society, it seems to me that love is ‘buried’. While there are not many people show their love like Morrie. He had shown his love to Mitch by communication. Throughout the book, Morrie was showing his love. To me, it looks like a piece of cake, yet, I wonder can I really do what Morrie did.

I gained a lot from the book, what I can say is this remarkably inspiring book is my true mentor. Lastly, I would like to use a quote from the book to end up my the review: Death ends a life, not a relationship.
