Tuesdays with Morrie

Written by Mitch Albom

A book for readers in grades 9 and up reviewed by Patrick

        

Tuesdays with Morrie is a true story about a man reconnecting with his old professor, who is currently dying. The old professor and the student were very close in college, but sadly began to drift apart until the student saw the professor on television talking about his disease. The student began to reunite with his professor every Tuesday to be taught life lessons.

I personally enjoyed Tuesdays with Morrie because it is very educational and easy to read. The lessons taught by the professor are very simple but meaningful. The book was also interesting because it showed the process of ALS and how it affects even healthy people.
