Summary: Back in school....
Review: I remember once in secondary school everyone had to choose a book, read it, and do a review of it. I was looking through the bookshelfs in the classroom and stumbled upon this book. It was to change my life forever (and I damn well mean that!) This book has a way to put me at peace with myself every time I read it. It's just got an effect which is unexplainable, but undoubtedly real. If I had the money, I'd buy everyone in the world a copy of this book, then the world would be at peace :)

Summary: A great thriller
Review: A lost boy roaming the beach deperately. A rabies-infected starving seagull with a flambouyant disregard for the food chain. Bach sets the stage brilliantly for the fateful showdown, and helps us cope with the aggression of wild animals. Bravo! JLS is the greatest psyco-thriller of all time. I just wish the bird wouldn't have eaten the boy's eyeballs like that.

Summary: I dreamed while reading
Review: A wonderful story. Reading it is an occasion to dream, to reflect, to stop our stressed life style . All you can do is thinking about your life and having an introspective seeing of your habits. A must for stressed people.

Summary: Have you even read the book?
Review: It's amazing to see someone insult the intellectual capacity of others when she has never even read the book in question. I think of this book as somewhat of a Rorschrach (sp?) test. What you see in it is more a reflection of you, than of the book itself. I think the most spiritual pieces of music, poetry and literature are like mirrors, reflecting back at you what you bring to them. Either that, or it's just a stupid seagull book. ; )

Summary: This is the best book I have ever read!
Review: Richard Bach has once again set me soaring above the clouds. Johnathon Livingston Seagull is great. It challenges you to be more than you have ever imagined you could be.

Summary: ...POP PSYCH 101 vs Really good Story?
Review: I agree with Pop Psych 101's observation regarding the readers' comments. They are so "feel good-sugar-coated" that it is frightening to see how greatly our youth lacks an understanding for allegory and symbolism. The gull is just a fictional character, people!! ...On the other hand, this book greatly affected my boyfriend in positive ways when he was younger, that still influence him today. He is not afraid to be humble at all... and he is a very strong person (both physically and emotionally) And has a very high position, yet he is not afraid to be kind to people on a "lower rung". He realizes you can be yourself and kind to others, while maintaining a strong character... NOW, did he get this philosophy from this book? No. He got it from Christianity... Yet, it intrigues me that at 30 years old, this book still influences him in subtle ways. And in fun ways...ie: Seeing the Gulls at the Shore, he leans toward me and says, "that's Young Jonathan" I'm going to read this book and find out about it. At the worst, it will be just a well written book! So, people, please read more, and stay away from TV and Video Games... your brains are being zombied out!!!! PS,,, just because many people are believing the same thing... doesn't mean it is necessarily wrong. (or right).

Summary: This book left me emotionally moved
Review: When I was assigned to read this book for school, I thought, Oh great! A book about seagulls! But, after a couple pages I was drawn in by the deep, insprirational literature, that I ended up reading the entire book in one day! I reccomend this to anyone who likes to read inspirational or moving work!

Summary: Great Book
Review: Less than an hour, no guilt, and you feel really good when you're done (unless you don't get it. Try again in a couple years). I've probably read it fifty times. Easily my favorite book.
