Summary: A surprise
Review: I received a gift in the post of this book with quite a few pictures and thought that is a book I will read to an hour or so. It took me into the main character after about 7 or eight pages. It gives encouragement to follow through with your ideas no matter how you see then conflict with another ppersons point of view. Be true to yourself and you will be surrounded by the type of people that suit you and whatever you believe comes true.

Summary: Not as good as most of other books by Richard Bach, but nice
Review: This was the first book by Richard Bach I read. It's probably the one of "for all ages" book I've read from him, I perceived it very differently when I read it as a teenager and then as a grown-up.

Summary: I absolutely LOVED it!
Review: I can only rave about this book. My predicament is that I have heard it read by the author, but alas, he writes a stupendous story but reads it with a lisp. I am quite certain that I have heard "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull" read by Richard Harris more than 20 years ago and am still interested in tracking down a used copy of that audio (might have been vinyl). Can anyone help me? I would be most grateful. Originally I wanted to have my small daughter hear it but now she is 20 and still I think it is a beautiful story for her to hear, especially as read by Richard Harris.

Summary: abyssmal nonesense on par with Dianetics
Review: This book is a piece of trash. I feel that nothing other than such a blunt remark justifies my feelings towards this mish-mash of bogey, high-faultin' pretention and early 70s self-help gibberish. Clearly, this tripe hooked on to the swinging trend of cascading times when mid-life crisis was hitting people from 16 to 76. It will take the reader about an hour to puff through the briefness on nothingness with such inspired pages like "Johnathan Livingston Seagull flies!" on a page with a picture of the bird soaring off high into the sky. Real deep. The basic, Scientology inspired motivation is keen wrapped around something passed off by its publisher as literature about you and me and us and them when, in reality, it is about Richard Bach's own trifling human insecurities and his pompous belief that if he feels it, we all do. Surely most authors have such pretentions, but most are able to wrap a story around it so we can ignore it all the way through.
