The book was compliled into chapters of life lessons by Mitch Albom, the student as according to his teacher;
Morrie's viewpoints and thoughts. Each chapter unveils the little things about life through the intimate
conversations between the two friends. With such intense topics like love, family and death the book evokes readers' emotions and questions their culture in life.
Mitch was "saved" by Morrie's life lessons because the words and wisdoms shared helped Mitch to be a better man in every way - as a son, brother, friend and life partner. Though it is a non-fiction book, the author manages to write in a story like manner by sharing the details of the conversations, bits and pieces of memories of Morrie's and his own. There are quotes in the book with personal touch as some were said by Morrie and used by his family members during his funeral.
A book with depth and in a small quantity (less than 200 pages), it gives non-fiction books a new perspective.
