Summary: An Amazing Literary Success
Review: As an author with my debut novel in its initial release, I am still amazed by the success of Richard Bach's JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL. In an era when books are growing increasingly complex and complicated, Bach's book continues to stand out because of its simplicity. Bach spins a tale about a ordinary seagull who finds himself on an extraordinary spiritual journey. This book is a fascinating read, and Russell Munson's photography provides the perfect illustrations for the story. JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL remains one of my all-time favorite books.

Summary: One of my all time Favorites
Review: Jonathan Livingston Seagull is one of my all time favorite books. I read it first time in 1998 and have refered to it once every few months. Each time I dicover something new in this book -something new which is quite inspiring. It challenges the idea of herd mentality and motivates one to achieve one's dreams.This is a must read !!

Summary: this book flies with the birds
Review: In this mini (93 pages, many pictures) classic, Richard Bach deals with a philosophy similar to the teachings of Mami. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, an aspiring bird, learns and listens. This book is very rewarding and philosophical.

Summary: The pure joy of flying
Review: Although this book seems to be an easy read at first, you will discover much more when you read it twice. Every sentence has a special and important meaning. There is no word useless in this book. Analysing the Story about "Jonathan" makes you think a lot. You would never imagine that this book was written by a pilot, as there are so few technical expressions. The book is much more about how to behave in group that doesn't allow any change. Jonathan is different than the other Seagulls. He wants to achieve something, he wants to reach the limits and break them. He doesn't care about the normal life (eating, flying in the flock). Jonathan wants to convice the other gulls that there is more to live for. The book is very symbolic. You can profit a lot when you compare the achievements of Jonathan with our human goals in life.

Summary: Unforgettable
Review: Beneath the deceptively simple surface of this philosophical masterpiece lie deep themes of mind over matter that will forever impact your thinking once you have read it.

Summary: So much sadness,yet, I feel happy
Review: All through my childhood, teenage and early adult life have I heard reference to this story. At the age of 22 I read it. I read this book after reading a large numeber of new age and transcendal lit., such as the celestine prophecy, Dr. Dyer's books, Castaneda, etc. And I cried and I was filled with joy. I was elated to have read such an allegory, when the time was right for me to read it. I believe that we, as friends, parents or siblings, should not "force" this reading onto anyone, but maybe just mention it, and allow for every person to choose the right time to read it, be they a child, adolescent or an adult. I live in a city on the Adriatic coast, and there are many seagulls, I often watch an meditate on their flight, and wonder if Jonathan is watching over me. Bach inspires a Jonathan in me!

Summary: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK EVER WRITTEN!
Review: Of all the countless, thousands of books I have read, "Johathan Livingston Seagull" is my number one favourite book. It is so much more than a simple story about a seagull who learns to spread his wings and fly. The book can have many individual interpretations, depending on how you relate to it, and to me that is the magical wonder of this beautiful, inspirational book. For each one of us, the book has its own personal meaning. To me, it is about personal freedom and having the courage to be the person you want to be; the freedom to become all that you were meant to be, not what someone else expects you to be. It is about spiritual freedom and how our fate on this Earth, and in whatever worlds may follow, is determined by the choices we make. As a parent, it is about learning to let go, for giving your children "wings," is the greatest gift they will ever receive. By setting them free when they are no longer yours to hold, you are giving them the freedom to grow, and the dauntless courage, strength and independence to fly on their own in an uncertain world, wherever the journey may take them. I have read this book so many times throughout the years that the pages are dog-eared and worn. The book is short, but the powerful lesson and message contained in these few pages is one many people never learn in an entire lifetime, no matter how many lifetimes they may live.

Summary: Sick of "kitten poster" philosophy?
Review: Chicken soup for this, chicken soup for that, chicken soup for the idiot-who-doesn't-want-to-think-for-themselves- soul. If you're as sick of this tripe as I am then you'd probaly enjoy this one. So much wisdom in a very quick easy package without the "christian" slant so many supposedly uplifting story lean on. If you don't like it, oh well its only five bucks. Its a classic, buy two copies and give one as a gift.
