Book Reviews of The Little Book of Love
Book Review: A Collection of Thoughts about Love
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are new to Kahlil Gibran then I'd recommend you start with The Prophet. I also think you will understand Kahlil Gibran even better if you read his letters in Love Letters: The Love Letters of Kahlil Gibran to May Ziadah. He shows his heart in both books and then you will be ready to understand more of what he reveals in "The Little Book of Love."
This is a collection of quotes and prose poems from his many books. This is the third book I've read and I was not disappointed. In fact it made me all the more eager to read additional books. Once you read one book you will want to read them all. In each book Kahlil Gibran says things that are simply profound and meaningful to understanding any topic he has addressed. In this book he speaks of the love of God, country, family and friends. He also briefly touches on romantic love.
All of the quotes in this book are filled with poetic beauty. I especially enjoyed his thoughts on how the soul is not content because it desires perfection. That made me think of my life a little differently than before. I think the only thing I disagreed with is his thoughts about how love doesn't come from a long companionship. I think there is definitely room for a love to grow between two people over time.
After reading these quotes I now have numerous books on my must-read list. I think after you experience this book you will feel the same.

Summary of The Little Book of Love
Written by the world's leading expert on Gibran, this profound little book will be an essential addition to any reader's Gibran collection, and a perfect Christmas and Valentine's Day alternative for those tired with collections of cliched romantic verse. Regarding it as the raison d'etre of the universe, Kahlil Gibran was never more insightful than when he wrote about love. Now for the first time, and illustrated with the poet's own paintings, his reflections on love and friendship have been gathered together in one volume, capturing the essence of love in all its forms and moods.Gibran, Kahlil Books
