Spoilerfree review
Mitch has a very comfortable style of writing and he is not afraid to talk about his uncertainties and feelings; he admits he feels guilty about staying out of touch with Morrie for the past twenty years. The two of them have rather emotional and deep talks in which Morrie's deteriorating health and impending death are openly spoken about. Unfortunately I was too cynical to get attached to either of the men. I fear I'm heartless. I can see why people would love this book, but it was probably too personal for me to care, if that makes sense.
