This is a heartfelt story about a man you know is going to die (Morrie) and how the young man learns a life long amount of stuff by his meetings every tuesday. Written from the point of view of the young man, its heart string pulling is on the strong side. You MAY CRY! Its an emotional ride between two men who love each other. It almost seems like this sort of relationship couldn't happen in our current world because of all the homosexual forces, but these guys somehow threw that out and just were. It speaks to the power of love, the power of learning and the power of friendship. Its simplistic writing style makes it great for anyone to read, but you can get different things out of it depending on which point of view you relate to more...the young or old man. Either way its an endearing story that you'll always remember.
