Review title: This death is ugly and it's all been said before--better.
Product review: I was told I'd love the book. I didn't. Morrie's dying is a very ugly one, and frightening too. It gets in the way of his aphorisms, which have been said before and better. It's wonderful that Morrie is so unselfconscious that he can expose his physical symptoms with no embarrassment or disgust, even the ultimate indignity of having someone wipe his ass and declaring that he gets to be a baby again! I feel terrible for him, but I would like to have been spared the awfulness of his illness. It's hard to believe that anyone could find an up side to this wretched disease, let alone lots of up sides! I also question Mitch's sincerity and would like to know if he truly changed as a result of knowing Morrie so intimately. The book disappoints. You can't argue with any of Morrie's philosophical statements but you can't be very moved by them either.
