Review to follow ( )

I made it all the way to the very last page withoit a tear and halfway thru the final page I cry by 2 words 'Dear Coach'. This is honestly a book everyone should take the time to read at least once. ( )

First of all, I want to clarify that this is NOT Tuesdays with Morrie. When I checked this out from the library and saw that it was a book by Mitch Albom called Tuesdays with Morrie, I assumed (silly me) that it was actually Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie. It's not. This is one of those situations where the same author writes two different books with almost identical titles. In this case, it's only the subtitle that's different, and even that change is slight.

In this book, Mitch reflects on his own childhood, his father, his frenzied work life, and his reunion with Morrie. He tells of his decision to start recording his Tuesday visits, of Morrie's decision stay at home and his subsequent medical expenses and debts, and the events since Morrie's death. We get to hear of Morrie's family's reaction to the book's success, and Mitch tells what will happen to the future profits from the book. There is also a brief question-and-answer session with Albom at the end.

Albom's lecture is sweet and poignant. The affection between these two men is evident, and Albom offers a few anecdotes about specific moments during the visits that stand out for him. Finally, he offers some pearls of wisdom, both profound and uplifting, about love, peace, and the joy of touching another life. ( )
