Summary: OF THE BOOKS/AUTHORS WHO MADE ME WHO I AM....
Review: I first read this book in high school. Several years later, I remembered the book as a good book about seagulls, but read it again on the recommendation of a friend. I was astounded at the wisdom that was written within the words to this simple story of a seagull learning how to fly. For me it is a magical and has taught me much of the path of life. I have read this book perhaps a dozen times now at various stages of my life, and each time it answers a question about my life that had been unanswered for some time. Of all of Bach's books, "Jonathon" is the most magical book for me, "Illusions" also touches a deep chord with its magical words from the "Handbook of Life". And "Bridge Across Forever" awakened in me a quest for a special soulmate to share this adventurous journey called life.

Summary: Namasté
Review: A simple and uncomplicated reminder to us all of who we really are. In this busy, hectic world, it's beauty is it's brevity-a place to refer to without using up days of time. I find it interesting that those who choose to give it poor reviews seem to to be so venemous and angry about it. Human nature tends to fear and condem what it doesn't understand-much like the flock of gulls who turn their backs to Jonathan. Namasté

Summary: This is such an inspirational book
Review: Both my friend and former teacher had read this book and they both absolutely loved it. They said it was spiritual. I decided to check it out. I read the book in one hour and I couldn't put it down! It is such a motivational message wrapped up in a light-hearted story. I have been living differently since I read Jonathan Livingston the Seagull because I now question things more and live life to the fullest!

Summary: Inspiring
Review: I continually return to this metaphoric work in times of uncertainty in my life. This story, which tells of a seagull unsatisfied in following the flock, is both mesmerizing and inspiring. The photographs are as much a part of the story as are the words of Richard Bach. A quick read, but one that will no doubt leave quite an impression.

Summary: A GROSSLY OVERRATED INSULT
Review: This book is an insullt to people everywhere. The fact that many enjoy it is shameful. This silly little "children's book" of about 90 pages with large type is about as intellectually stimulating as being hit in the head with a rock. It's plot and characters are dull, and the metaphorical garbage it spews out at you is disgusting.

Summary: The greatest book ever written!!
Review: As an English major I have read many, many books in my time, but no book or literary work has made such a personal impact upon me as this one. Richard Bach is extrodinary in this book and really makes people realize their worth. When I am feeling down about life or myself I pick up this book and journey with Jonathan. The photography in this book is a great addition and really makes you feel the story. Writing about the book doesn't give it justice. You need to read it.

Summary: Top Flight Anthropomorphism
Review: Beginning writers who scan the Writers Market will find a common admonition from publishers listing there: don't send us humanized animal stories. Why? Because they've all been done before. Classics like Animal Farm and Watership Down define the successes of this overused technique. Jonathan Livingston Seagull shares a throne among the best of these.It's a short and simple tale about a seagull who loves to fly and wants to do his best at it. The writing is lyrical and flowing, with beautiful, almost poetic language. The story line is rich with metaphor, spirituality, and subtle meaning. It is an uplifting story, one that adds weight to the good side of the scale of humanity. I first read this book as teenager shortly after it came out in 1970. At that age and at that time this was a powerful book. It still is. I think it will be appreciated by idealistic collegians more than cynical forty-somethings, but everyone will benefit. If you don't like this book, you'd better get yourself checked out. You might be psychotic. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

Summary: Remarkable and uplifting story.
Review: This was an amazing story about breaking barriers and living life to it's complete fullest.I really enjoyed this book a lot. It made me think of things in a way that I usually don't. It was very uplifting and inspirational. I liked how even though the main character was a seagull he still tried to fly like a falcon. Even after everyone put him down and told him that he couldn't. So that right there was why i liked this book so much. It was also written very well. The author used many great words, sayings, and transitions. In conclusion I would deffinitley reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys to read stories about inspiration and having no limits.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: A book I reread often to remind myself of Jonathan's world. It was the first "grown-up book" I read as a child and I continue to read it today. It can be taken on so many different levels. Remarkable!

Summary: Strive
Review: Jonathan is a symbol of eternal spirit striving to know what she is, why she is here? Jonathan redefines all accepted conventions of what is given(one is born with) Vs a human beings conviction to do what one believes in. The story is mesmerising in the intent that its happening with us and not with The Gull.
