Summary: This book is amazing!
Review: I put one star because I figured it would get the attention of all the negative people who disliked this book, and annoy them. Well, that is not the way to make them happier but I am sure a few readers will get a laugh out of this. This one negative star will surely be out-numbered by all the 5 stars that rightfully are attributed to this book. So I hope it was worth it to get a laugh at the expense of the nay-sayers, who should realise that being objective won't make you happier. It will only make you a better, perhaps more bitter, survivor. But surviving isn't what life's about.

Summary: A True Classic
Review: I first read this book when I was about eleven, and it's been one of my favorites ever since. It's a true classic, one that you can read over and over and over again, and never get tired of, and find new insights and nuances in it. Now every seagull is an incarnation of Jonathan to me. And there is a film of it as well! I didn't get to see that until it was out on video, but it was well worth the wait. I cry every time I see it--not because it's sad, but the photography is SO BEAUTIFUL!! Especially when coupled with Neil Diamond exquisite songs. Highly recommended!

Summary: it is a simple way of telling us about agony and ecstasy
Review: After reading the book, one thing has become pretty clear in my mind. we are not here for mere earning our bread and butter. Life is all about exploring new heights, think about them till you reel under the pressure, dream about them and nurture them. It also tells us that to follow freely the promptings of heart, one must not conceal from oneself that life is coarse and ruthless in its own wayward course. The book is a bid to rekindle the sleeping Jonathan Livingston Seagull in us. Thru the seagull, the author explains us and takes us to the finer nuances of life. What does a man need, we always think. Bread, Butter and a bed to sleep on. NO, you will know after reading the book. There is much more to life than getting these things. You don't have to simply live for them. How about bringing a pose of roses for your beloved from the stiff cliffs of Alpine, when roses are out of season. This book will teach and prompt you to do that. Thanks Richard for letting me know the Jonathan Seagull in me.

Summary: Easily one of the most inspirational books ever written.
Review: This book packs into a few short pages a plethora of universal truths. It is a simply written tale of the nature of purpose and of perfection. Its a story of freedom and thought and immortality that ought to inspire even the most stubborn pessimists and nay-sayers.

Summary: Dedicated to the real jonathan livingston within us.
Review: Sometimes I come to meet the force of tradition which is too terrible at least for me. I think that the more creative one should be -at least- protected & given chances to realize his or her creative ideas as far as acceptable. But it is not so in my society just because such acceptances may result in the break of binding force of the long- lived tradition. Now I, who was very depressed at these situatios, have come to have courage that I will overcome all my difficulties till the days when I am good enough to love my surroundings.

Summary: There is no such place as heaven!!!
Review: How often we take a pause in our onward journey in life, how often we feel content with whatever little achievements we make, how often we pat ourselves, how often we glorify our record breaks! Yes, two hundred and forty miles an hour is great, but it is not the last thing in speed. In heaven, there are no speed limits. In fact, there is no such place as heaven. Heaven is not a place .....Winners don't do different things. They do things differently. The difference is Quality. Thank you Dear Richard. Thank you for living the life before the rest of us, and sharing your insight with us. Thank you for all that you have done.

Summary: Wonderful!!
Review: After I read this book, every time I saw a seagull I thought of Johnathan Livingston seagull and how even though his elders through great shame and dishonor toward him he didnt let that put him down and he still did the one thing he loved flying. Thats why I invite you to live the adventure of flight and life with Johnathan a Seagull in the wonderful book Johnathan Livingston Seagull written by Richard Bach.

Summary: Everything that differentiates between good and perfect
Review: I have read and re read this book many times and must have gifted at least a hundred copies. This story is just not about a seagull or about flight. This is a story on the need to leave the mundane behind and push yourself to be perfect in whatever you do. It also tells you that it is not easy to reach there, but the joy of reaching there is worth the efforts. A must for youngsters in particular. Wheever Iam down I just read this again and am back on track going where I want to go. A book that will live forever. C T Lakshmanan, India

Summary: I think it is pretty good.
Review: The title of the book I read was Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. The characters were seagulls and the main characters were Jonathan and Fletcher. The main setting was by a coastline. It was three parts long. The book was about a seagull that was concentrating more on flying than eating, which seagulls are supposed to do. He didn't listen though. He kept flying and flying. He was later taken away from the flock and lead to the cliffs. There he met the best seagull. He taught Jonathan everything. My favorite part was when he learned to fly in the past and future. I think you would like this book because it seems pretty real. By Edward Ryan, Jr. Age 8

Summary: My first copy in 1972.
Review: I bought my original copy in '72 and have read and reread it many times. A couple of years ago I gave it to my (then) 10 yr. old daughter. Now I have another young person in my life who will enjoy it as it is meant to be enjoyed, ie; on whatever level you're on. I miss my copy as well. Put me down for two.
