Rating: Summary: To Fly Freely Review: Well, it all started with a dream and being able to live it all the way, live it freely and reach a higher level.The author takes us through Jonathan experience in fighting for what we believe in, and that no matter how much resistance we could face, and different opinions we should never quit and let go so easily. There is more to the things than just the outside look, or what people are used to seeing and knowing from history and cultures. There is nothing wrong with breaking rules in order to get to the real essense of an issue. When that happens, people will see it and they will follow just because they believe... I believe you should read this book,,,
Rating: Summary: A book everyone should read Review: A 30 years old classic book that still works, because the story is one that we can easily get into (You don't need to know about ancient history for example). The story of Jonathan is one we all can get attached to and we can learn from. Unlike other books of this kind (You know, learn more from yourself, self-betterment and all that) like "The knight in rusty armor", the book doesn't seem like a disguised "Learn to love youself" book, it is a nice story, and it is left up to the reader to pick up what he wants. And by the way, I am in no way fan of the "Self-betterment" books, I actually don't find them interesting, but this book was WAY different. ...that above was comming from a 16 year old :) , have fun reading!
Rating: Summary: A must read Review: This is one book which is highly recommended. A book which is thought to be written for young people is such an inspiring story that its a must read for everyone atleast once. People seeking for meaning of life, would find this the begining and would remember Jonathan rest of their lives.
Rating: Summary: Question the rules... Review: If you've ever been frustrated by a system that stifled creativity or exploration for the sake of the status quo, you will appreciate this book. Its message is not meant to be antiestablishment, rather, pro choice. We are free to accept or attempt to change any set of rules we find before ourselves. We can live in any manner we see fit. Yet, with this newfound freedom and knowledge comes the obligation to try and enlighten those that may not be so bold or perceptive. Whether you're a fan of Richard Bach and his way of thinking/writing or someone just discovering this book and author for the first time, you are in for a treat with this book.
Rating: Summary: Anything is possible,,,, if you believe. Review: This is one of my all time favorite books. It is truly inspirational. If you believe, anything is possible. Or as Boomerang would say, "Through love, all things are possible, including miracles!" A must read parable tale for all ages. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY
Rating: Summary: Inspirational-especially for dreamy teenagers ! Review: I first read this book when I was a teenager (about 25 years ago), and it touched my heart like no other book had at that time. I came a long way since then, but I still keep my copy of Jonathan , and every so many years I like to flip through it. It's all about the seagull who had a different vision,and who could! Few books are to be read by all those who seek a better understanding of themselves and a meaning for life, and some books are for keeps (even if for their sentimental value), this book is certainly one of them.
Rating: Summary: If you have never read this book, you really are missing out Review: Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a story about a seagull that learns to fly. Other gulls do not bother learning the art of flight, but Jonathan is different. He does what others do not and seeks knowledge. The story is very inspirational. The book reads quick and easy, almost at the level of a children's book. At the same time, the meaning of the story is very profound. This combination makes this book sheer genius! If you have never read this book, you really are missing out on something.
Rating: Summary: Listen to your Heart Review: I find more meaning to this great book every time I read it. It makes you think about what is important to you, and how important it is to pursue your dreams, no matter what others think you should do or become. Read it over and over.
Rating: Summary: Outside the box Review: Seagull is an old favorite of mine which I suddenly ran into again, much like an old friend. I read it first as a child, liking the story and not really appreciating the metaphor. I re-read it as a high schooler (and many times thereafter) and could see the book's true value. One of those classics that one always looks back on with delight. Bach evidently chose seagulls in light of his own flying background but the picture of the rat race remains as compelling. I bought soon after a poster of a bird silhouetted against the sun setting over a seascape and the words on it always remained with me : "You see things as they are, and ask why? I see things that never were, and ask why not?". I don't think Bach said this (can some Amazonian tell me who the author is?) but they seem apt for this wonderful book.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read Review: This book's message is absolutely timeless. I was first introduced to Richard Bach when I was given a copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull for Christmas one year. My life has not been the same since. This book not only tells a story, but it helps bring out some of the truths of life that many of us have long since forgotten. I recommend this book to anyone, no matter what their education level, religion or race. READ THIS BOOK.
