__Tuesdays with Morrie__

To begin, I wasnt exactly sure what book to choose, it was actually my mother who said i should read this book. I learned a little bit about it from her and she said it was a very deep book, with a special meaning to it, and it was quite comical in an intelligent clever sort of way. I figured why not, I dont know most of these books on the list anyway. So when the book first starts out it is already about halfway through the story, (chronologically) I learned very quickly that this happens alot in the book. It is about a student in college who is fairly well rounded, plays track, writes music, plays piano, and is very smart. This student named Mitch met a professor in college named Morrie. Morrie, an extremely interesting person, loving, caring, extremely intelligent, high caliber, and has the best morals of any human being i have ever heard of (fictional or nonfictional). And throughout the book it said from the viewpoint of Mitch, and he is basically being mentored by Morrie in alot of his classes, which are mainly: pschology, socialology, and other forms of pysche classes. And as the story progresses it shows that Mitch is really looking up to Morrie as a role model, almost a father figure of sorts. I have noticed the author uses alot of playful comments and bits of humor to grasp the readers attention. The author also gets your attention by... basically just having a great story with a very well thought out group of characters. The setting of the book and other static points are fairly irrelevent to the story even though it does mention them every so often. So far in the book I am getting into the storyline alot and just cant put it down. It is just one of those books where you dont want it to end, but you know sooner or later you will eventually finish the book.
