Book Reviews of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Book Review: Life Enhancing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was simply inspirational for me. I was directed to read it in 1991 and to this day it serves as a symbol of belief to me. It reminds me that we are all capable of so much more if we believe we are and do what it takes to make it happen and especially if we dont let ourselves be sidetracked by doubters. In fact a seagull is the centre piece of my company logo. Sometimes I think books come our way at a partiucllay meaningful time to ourselves which is perhaps why this book seems to attract such varied reviews I loved it and also enjoy the spin off movies and sound track. Every time I see a seagull soaring high in the sky it brings a surge of 'joy' to meBook Review: It Was Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
Many will pan this masterpiece by Richard Bach as fuzzy and warm. But it is Jonathan Livingston Seagull's simplicity which allows the book to be vulnerable in this respect. However, this vulnerability, this love, allows it to soar. It's message is so simple -- desire is everything -- and so immutable, that it reaches to beyond the heights of hman expeience.
This book is on my friend Marcia Makepeace's ten favorite books. I agree. Jonathan Livingston Seagull has risen from its following in the 70's, to inspire another generation in the miracle of its message.
Book Review: Believe in More Than Flying...
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say of Jonathan Livingston Seagull that doesn't make me smile..From being referenced as Jonathan myself by family members to re-reading the book at every life milestone, this book has been a part of my life.
It doesn't matter if you believe in idealism or realism. JLS enables us all to believe in much more than flying. We can reach new heights only if we try. We can challenge the status quo only if we believe in ourselves.
Even if you have read this book before, try reading it again. You will find something different this time.
Book Review: Inspired me to write my book
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first read JLS in 1971 I didn't get it; too young. Ten years and a blur of life experiences later, I read it again. Profound, poetic, inspiring. Was this the same book? It endeared me to the power of allegory and 25 years later led me to write To Bee or Not to Bee (a JLS of the insect world). It's now in 11 languages and exploding. Thank you, Richard.
To Bee or Not to Bee: A Book for Beeings Who Feel There's More to Life Than Just Making Honey
Book Review: to those who understand, no explanation is necessary...
Summary: 5 Stars
and those who don't no explanation is sufficient...some of these other reviews are actually longer then this book..I read it back in the 70's when my brother gave it to me and said I had to read it..I've reread it a few times over the years..it still holds magic to me and it still holds a place on my everchanging book shelf..I hope to pass it on to my kids some day..because to me the message is still clear and relevant..in all the world, you are unique and only your willingness to dare and to dream and to try will seperate you..
