Title: sad, yes...but did the author exploit the subject?
Review: A sad story, yes. Morrie was a terrific subject and his lessons are timeless. But, I have to wonder how Mitch Albom sleeps at night. From all he "learned", or allegedly gained from these "Tuesdays" didn't he exploit Morrie just a bit? Morrie encourages us all to live for today, stop, enjoy the little things around us, LIVE, not just to work, to make money, but LIVE! I put the book down at times rejoicing in these simple words.How then, is it that Mitch Albom, one of Morrie's great students, gets away w/writing his story? What did/does he get but the profits from a dying old professor? Hmmmm....what did Mitch come away with? From the look of it, a bunch of dough.Yes, we're the richer for learning a little about Morrie and of ALS but Mitch Albom is richer for exploiting him, and apparently, not that much wiser for knowing him.
