Rating:  Summary: Good, not the best Richard Bach Review: If you like Richard Bach, as I do, you will like this book. Very imaginative and positive, but occasionally the jumps (necessary to the story) seem somewhat contrived at first. Not a negative - the reader simply should understand it will all work out, so stick with it.
Bach's _Illusions : The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah_ is one of my favorite books. I'd suggest reading this and/or _ Jonathan Livingston Seagull_ as an introduction to Bach's style before diving into _One_
Rating:  Summary: One makes you think Review: In the beginning of the book, I must admit, I didn't like it at all. But as I kept on reading it became a fantastic journey through my own beliefs. One made me think further about life and death, it challenged me to find answers. I think it's a great book, it didn't change my life, but it really helped!
Rating:  Summary: A bit of each of us... Review: is somewhere in this book. It's more fiction than some of his others and more real than Jonathan Livingston Seagull, but is simply written as only Richard Bach could've written it, beautifully. It takes you through the 'many lifetimes of Leslie and Richard' but does so by opening your eyes to other ways of thinking and believing. I had been looking for too long for answers to questions I didn't even know existed, and this book simply helped to answer them. Not all, but most. And as anyone who's had unanswered questions magically answered... the giver of answers is suddenly a writing god!
Rating:  Summary: The first step in thinking Review: Life is a bottomless pit. We spend our lives trying to climb in the direction we perceive as "up." When I first read ONE, by that master of words, Richard Bach, I was desperately trying to grasp something, to catch hold of something substantial. With so many ledges below me in the pit; amid frail footholds that crumbled under the weight of the world, I reached my hand as far as I could, and found this wonder of thinking. An honest, philisophical, spiritual, and amusing exploration of life and meanings, ONE is. I was able, through reading this book, to pull myself up a bit higher in that pit of life, and begin my journey of thought that will not cease until I reach the top
Rating:  Summary: An inspiring read the first and every time. Review: One is a masterpiece of the heart. Richard Bach teaches us to look beyond the veil of percieved reality to the truth. One does this masterfully and with a true love for the reader. Everytime I read this book I find more truths hidden in the lines!
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful and Inspiring Review: One is a wonderful book about the idea that everything is happening at the same time and that there is only one whole with many different parallel realities. Fun to read, and food for thought.
Rating:  Summary: Thought provoking! Review: One makes you think of what else could be out there, other than your own life. Maybe there is a parallel one in which you make different decisions and they affect you as such in that world! This is a must have for your personal library! I also recommend "Eternal Undying Love" by Brett Keane
Rating:  Summary: This book is for people who see the link between all of us! Review: Richard Bach is inspiring. If you read this book only to
open up your scope of possiblities, it is well worth your
time. He writes in such a way that not only is anything
possible, but probable. All readers will find themselves
as one of the characters in the book.

Rating:  Summary: I took a trip beyond the universe Review: Right from the very first page I read, the book has kept me spellbound. I am still spellbound whenever I think of the search within. I have learnt to accept that all my materialistic failures are just possibilities and my strong belief of the existance parallel universes with my alter-egoes living there turning my failures into splendid victories fortified. I think I have found the point of intersection between the scientific school of thought and that of pure philosophy ... I have come to believe that infinity can be defined, though we need to be in a different state of mind... Where the mind rules..
Rating:  Summary: A hidden sci-fi book is this Review: Some other people keep talking about parallel universes, time travels, simulated worlds, etc etc. Here is a naive book about all. How every single decision in one's life forks the path in front and how everything, in the end, is just a single one thing! Such a book would be a feelingless creature if no love is put in. So be it! A full of love story, on the other hand!
