Blue Road to Atlantis

Summary: At the risk of repeating what others have said...
Review: ... I'll just say that Blue Road is BEAUTIFUL. And so few works of fiction these days are. Read it, if only to learn about Jay's "10 Concentric Circles," which, if you're open minded, will give you a new tool to keep your priorities in life straight. For a parable about a bunch of fish, this is one funny, moving and extremely readable book.

DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURE DEPARTMENT, TAKE NOTE! This book would and should make a great animated feature that adults can enjoy, as well as kids!

Summary: I couldn't put it down
Review: From childhood, I have always had a deep fascination for ocean life. The story's setting made the story very approachable for me. I received the book yesterday, and I finished it this morning! The words of Blue Road's simple tale flow as easily as water, and one can't help but feel swept away as you follow the adventures of two sea-dwelling friends.

"Blue Road to Atlantis" is a joyful reminder of one of the most profound lessons I have learned earlier in life: Be who you are. Doesn't make sense? Read the book! Sometimes one needs gentle reminders and this book did exactly that for me. For other readers, it may unlock a new perspective never before realized. This book introduces what I would say is the "tao" or the "zen" in "Old Man in the Sea", for reasons I invite you to find out for yourself. You'll be pleasantly surprised, touched and hopefully motivated to reflect on your own life and evaluate what your true path is.

Summary: Do you guys swim?
Review: When I messed up my knee and found myself housebound for the summer I tried to look on the bright side- finally a chance to catch up on my reading. Fortunately, a good friend who "surfaced from out of the blue" gave me a copy of "Blue Road to Atlantis." Clearly, this has been the best book I've read this summer, and has made my recovery so much more enjoyable. It is extremely well written, adeptly mixing humor and little life-lessons. The author, Jay Nussbaum, demonstrates a keen sense of direction. After reading his book, I fully intend to "swim with the current."
