Summary: Changed my life and the way I looked at the World
Review: It was 15 plus years ago I first picked up this book. I read and re-read it until the cover was cracked and bent. It started me on a journey through other Bach works, where I found more to learn and more to love. Now I have my chosen few who spoke the most to me in my most cherished collection of writings. I haven't picked it up in awhile, but I still remember every message, and there were many, that I took from the book all those years ago. A little older, and a bit more jaded, maybe I don't still believe that I could swim in land or walk on water through sheer belief. Maybe I haven't read enough in quantum mechanics to retain it. However, I can say with certainty that my life is better because I did believe it once - and I believed because of this book. Of all of the books I have ever read, this one easily vies for the top spot of "Book that Most Touched my Soul." Read it. Believe it.

Summary: DREAMS
Review: This book captures you right from the beginning till the end just like an illusion does and in the end you realize that eveything in the book may be not true but just an illusion.The book helps you to see life too closely and tells you as to what life is all about.It makes you aware of the very fact that nothing is real and the life is just a dream. Richard Bach's meet with the Messiah was to teach him lessons so he too could become one.The power of believing is what one needs during a lifetime,if one can learn that nothing remains impossible.The book tells you that every problem comes with a gift in hand and we ask for problems because we need their gifts,and Bach in his book shows that very well. The book is worth reading a thousand times and for especially those who like to live in an illusionary world.....

Summary: A lifetime companion
Review: I read this book 17 years ago. I was 19. I remember this book gave me guidance thru hard times. I have been reading it once in a while, every 3 or 4 years, and the magic is that the book grow up with me, teaches me about new things, depending on my specific situation. Somebody said in this reviewers list that this is Life 101. I agree; I like that definition. This is a book that will teach you about life, no matter your religion, your social background, your IQ level. This is a basic message about how to live and enjoy the life. The perfect gift for yourself and for your friends and foes, looking for a perfect gift for somebody that has everything? Try this & a good Jazz CD!

Summary: Beautiful
Review: I read this book after Jonathan Livingston Seagull and it is sort of a continuation of the ideas expressed in that book. This story is about a mechanic turned messiah, who escapes the crowds demanding miracles and answers by 'barnstorming', flying an old plane into farmer's fields and offering people plane rides for a few bucks. That is how he meets the author, who also barnstorms. Free from all the constraints of the modern world, the two pilots share the same field and form a fast friendship. The messiah begins to teach the author his knowledge, and helps him to understand the way the world works. Again, the theme of belief in self and achieving the impossible is present in this book. Although with fewer metaphors, Illusions presents more questions and ideas than Jonathan did. A very powerful ending.

Summary: Shayna Halloran's review for "Illusions"
Review: The novel "Illusions", by Richard Bach, is a very creative and bazaar piece of literature. The book at first comes off as rather strange and confusing but as the plot ties together it becomes quite exciting and intensive. The book uses various supernatural concepts, which seem unbelievable, and makes them very reasonable. Richard Bach is brilliant in pulling off such an incredible theme and easily draws the reader into his outrageous ideas. I even found myself questioning everything in the world around me. This book opens a whole new idea about faith, humanity, and afterlife. It leaves the reader stumped about their own beliefs and makes one explore all questions of one's own faith.

Summary: A feeling of Hope
Review: By making Richards imagination, go in all directions and making him have altered out looks on life itself. Donald Shimoda, the man who is in charge of making a handicap person with a dream to fly in an airplane, to jump into the cockpit. The man, who is responsible for a frightened little girl, afraid of flying to be able to luxuriate in the sky.
In Illusions, the remarkable continuance to his marvelous bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes people into determining what they had inside them the hole time, to show them what the world presents them. To give them inspiration.
This book is also very easy to read, with the characters not so hard to comprehend, and harder to understand what there lives are like. I like the airplane theme, the fact that the sky is freedom. That the planes is what brought Richard and Don together. The idea that there was something about Don that captured Richard, and he knew he was extraordinary. What you have always needed in your life might be right in front of you.
I strongly recommending people to read this book!!!!
