My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It was okay. What bothers me is that the author, Albom, makes it sound as if he is the only one who knows Morrie and doesn’t even try to speak to Morris’s wife, children or care-givers to try and get a more rounded sense and picture of the man.
Anyone who has nursed a sick loved one, especially, one who knows they’re dying, knows that it’s one of the hardest things to do in the world. Not only because of the physical discomfort that often accompanies such an ordeal, but also the mental effects of the ordeal on both the patient and the caregiver.
Furthermore, the lessons sprinkled throughout the book have no back-story, and no clarification on how anyone can apply those lessons in their lives. It would have been far more interesting if Albom had explored them further and had written more about how Morrie arrived at them through his, Morrie’s, own life experiences.
