Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

"'Love each other or perish,' Morrie said. 'It's good, no? And it's so true. Without love, we are birds with broken wings.'"
I had heard and read nothing but positive feedback about this book, so I ended up expecting as much as I had heard. What's strange is that even though I know this movie is based on actual events, I found the story to be really

it was probably the setting i read it in that made me like it so much. i read it in philosophy class so we studied it compared to the theories/philosophies of the "great philosophers," and this is why i thought it was so good. i can see how it would be seen as over the top though.

but i analyze almost everything i read now so i look more at "good writing" rather than "good story." i think mitch albom is a good writer, even if he's a little too sappy for my tastes.

i havne't read for one more day yet, but i have low expectations. five people you meet in heaven was pretty okay in my opinion, but honestly the only reason i still own it is because all his book covers match so they look nice on my shelf.

Albom is definitely talented. I guess there are some people who really enjoy that kind of in-your-face emotion. Even though it wasn't even 200 pages long, I quickly grew tired of every page being so melodramatic.

As for the book covers, I really love how they all look together :) Kristine owns all three books, so I'm thinking of just reading For One More Day when the kids are at school.
