- Captivating book
- I thought it was a wonderful story of a pupil and his mentor. I suppose we would all want to talk to our former mentors and this book brings us there. We all must feel to a certain extent that there is something missing in our lives as this pupil did. I found a great book that fills that gap entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone" by John H. Eagan you really get a sense of who God is, what He wants us to do now, and what we'll really do in the afterlife. I think you will love this book too.

- Am I Alone Here?
- Am I the only person who feels like Mitch Albom writes with extreme egocentric undertones? I couldn't even absorb the lessons and wisdom I was supposed to be taking away from this book because I was so aggravated by Mr. Albom's narssicism. It seems like every page was steeped in a light bath of 'thank goodness Morrie had me' attitude. Not to mention the outright statements like the part where Mitch talks about if he died, his boss wouldn't even care as long as he had some of his amazing writing underneath his dead body.
To me, a young but frequent reader, this book felt more like a tribute to Mitch than a tribute to Morrie. Did anyone else feel that way about this book? Or am I way off base here? - 2008-12-23, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Life lessons to learn
- This book is awesome. I read it after my mother passed away and I was only 16 yr. This book taught me so much and I carry it as a sort of life guide...when I feel I'm forgetting the lesson I just refresh myself. This is my most prized book and I still have it near after 10 yrs. Buy this book for any youth you love that has lost or is lost in the world and it will brighted their mind to see that there is more.
