Summary: Spirituality in the making
Review: This book is a classic, the comparison of animals to actual people and the things we do is incredible. It's a very spiritual book, it not only tells you to do your best, but also that you should connect with the things you can actually see on earth before you try to understand what you can't see. Richard Bach writes this book based on methaphors which in my opinion are used very wisely. It's a very short book, but it gets the point accross which is what a book or any publication should do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfection is the Secret of the real life
Review: He made me eager to yearn for learning and reaching my limit of learning. It is important for one to know his limits in order to improve them. Bach made me able to stretch my mind and to know my capabilities within some activities. It is not life that is unfair. It is us who are unfair to ourselves. We limit our potential to what is tangible, realistic and reachable. It is the fear of failure. The fear of disappointment. If we manage to break these limits, we impose on our ambitions and capabilities, we will reach a higher level of life. We will know what is the real life we really want to live. By exploring what we don not know, we can learn new things and actually realize who we really are. We can't be parts of others who we know. We will be parts of people we want to acquire parts from. he idea of perfection is too far from our thoughts. Perfection, like any other thing is there. We just need to go up and find it. Find the perfection that we are looking for in ourselves, not the one, others are looking for in us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must read book
Review: This is one book that changes your way of thinking.To seek out something more in life ,to be a perfectionist.Illusions is another beautiful book,it conveys a concept of opening our minds and not to judge things as right or wrong as nothing can be defined as right or wrong.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To fly perfectly is to acheive excellence in life
Review: This book is outstanding. Richard Bach surely is to be recommended for his classic novel. He tells the reader about true human nature that is completely true in this world's setting. The Flock symbolizes having no freedom of mind but that you folllow the paths of those who came before you. Their veiws may not always be right. The boook goes much deeper than words.This book is a well spent time of reading

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: when you are ready for it, you will understand...
Review: if you are ready for this book, you will know why i put five stars. people who gave negative comments especially in comparison to religion or the bible have much to contemplate about why this book came to them in the first place.

it is true for me as well that people i know who are where i am have read this book too. if you know what i am talking about i am pleased and joyous that you are out there...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring and pretentious book
Review: A poor immitation of the New Testament (with animals behaving like people), the book has little to offer for an adult reader. The author, as a former pilot, has intimate knowledge of flying, but for others the goal is hardly attainable, and thus - of little value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Russia loves Richard Bach
Review: I read these book and after that i was in some kind of trans condition. This really forced me to read all other books by Mr. Bach i had. And i didn't think it was just time waste. It was really a surprise when i found out that most of my friends read it recently too. I was really disappointed because it's best gift i can made for now. Sure i want to read "Seagull" in english now, but lack of $...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I am just hoping to bring the average down...
Review: Other negative reviews have already told the truth about this psycho-spiritual babble book. I'm mainly writing a review to try to help lower the book's average review rating.

The only good thing you can say about this book is that it is short, so it doesn't waste as much time as it might. Of course, for some "time" is a meaningless concept - "Being wasted is sooner that wasting time" as it were. Take my word for it - getting wasted is no more a waste of your time than reading this book.

And if getting wasted leaves you with a hangover, you might learn something; an experience that reading this book is unlikely to give you...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring....
Review: "Do your best no matter what". How many times have you heard this? Extremely overrated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Flight of High Soaring Brilliance
Review: This book is Richard Bach's finest work. A simple story told with complex texture. The bird symbolizes the ineffable longings within humanity for a transcendental epiphany; a neon in the night of our stumblings; flash! I see! I hear! I fly! Valleys of failure and hills of hope are the topographic text through which the tale travels, and white-winged and wide are our stretchings towards self-actualization. This is a work of singular vision, aided by a slight editorial suggestion by me. Bach had just finished the final draft and we were sitting together on Santa Monica pier. Richard showed me the title and something just didn't seem to click. So I said, "Rich, sure the bird idea's got legs, but Jonathan Livingston Turkey?? Take a hike along the beach and see what else you can come up with."
