Rating: Summary: Literature-wanna-be Hogwash for Pathetic People Review: For a long time I had suspected that America was a nation full of pathetic people desperately striving to improve their lives. This so-called book has confirmed my suspicions. That most of the reviews for this piece of trash are positive is not surprising. After all, this book is full of the You-can-do-anything-you-want if-you-try-hard-enough nonsense that Americans cherish. That anyone would describe the author's overwrought, shamelessly manipulative, saccharine prose as good literature, however, is simply mind-boggling. People, please, get off your butts and start living your lives!! Trust me, reading feel-good, exploitative books written by savvy, if untalented, authors will do little to change your unsatisfactory existence.
Rating: Summary: It's REAL! Review: I once was sitting in a beach in Daytona, FL., facing the ocean, feeding the seagulls. They fight with each other for foods. Who said this book is not about the real world!?
Rating: Summary: Great story. Review: This is a great, riveting horror story about a young boy's love of a gull that goes bad. Sporting artfully wrought sentences and a moving ending that will send chills down your spine, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a don't miss.
Rating: Summary: The Best 45 minutes You Will Spend! Review: I first read this book when I was 12 and I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was great. Read it again at 19 and it changed my life forever. It's a truly inspirational book that tells you that if you believe in yourself anything is possible. All you need is faith. I pick it up ever so often now when I'm feeling down and it always serves as a good pick me up. You won't regret reading it but you will regret it if you don't get the message. READ IT!
Rating: Summary: MAGIC AND WONDERFUL Review: "don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly".. this is what Jonathan teachs me in the pass, now and forever.. he is in my heart since long time ago.. and he still live in me.. strongly.. deeply..
Rating: Summary: A story of freedom Review: A story that teach you how you can live following your dreams. You can lear to fly.
Rating: Summary: Nice pictures Review: Ok, get this, like the seagull is the revolutionary who gets killed and then comes back to life to teach us all, like man the seagull is Jesus but he's also Buddha, you dig? And to pad out this lame storyline, Bach gives us a bunch of grainy pictures of birds. Too bad he doesn't have the guts to show us birds pooping on a statue, having found TRUE enlightenment.
Rating: Summary: 30 minutes reading Review: An interesting little book about the important things in life. It is very easy to relate to Jonathan as we all have something of him in us. Or at least we hope so...
Rating: Summary: Opening of the heart and mind Review: This book has not only touched me but it helped me with soome of my own questions. I feel that this book has taught me how to reach for that higher goal even though it's not concidered normal by society. This book was given to me by a teacher when he saw that I was having a hard time on deciding if yoga was right for me (which it is) and I put myself in the characters place and I loved it. At 16 I feel that life is at the start point defitnally not at it's end (like some friends of mine think)
Rating: Summary: This is probably the only book I'm not ashamed to cry at. Review: I was given this book by a friend of mine and I have to say I've been thankful to him ever since. It is probably the most moving thing I've ever read, and because it is so short, it can be read over and over again. While some people whom I have introduced to this book have been non-commital, the general reaction has been unashamed laughter and tears. I can recommend this book to anyone, but be warned; you'll spend the few hours afterwards with a goofy smile on your face - it is just so moving.
