Summary: Everything that differentiates between good and perfect
Review: I have read and re read this book many times and must have gifted at least a hundred copies. This story is just not about a seagull or about flight. This is a story on the need to leave the mundane behind and push yourself to be perfect in whatever you do. It also tells you that it is not easy to reach there, but the joy of reaching there is worth the efforts. A must for youngsters in particular. Wheever Iam down I just read this again and am back on track going where I want to go. A book that will live forever.

Summary: I think it is pretty good.
Review: The title of the book I read was Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. The characters were seagulls and the main characters were Jonathan and Fletcher. The main setting was by a coastline. It was three parts long. The book was about a seagull that was concentrating more on flying than eating, which seagulls are supposed to do. He didn't listen though. He kept flying and flying. He was later taken away from the flock and lead to the cliffs. There he met the best seagull. He taught Jonathan everything. My favorite part was when he learned to fly in the past and future. I think you would like this book because it seems pretty real.

Summary: My first copy in 1972.
Review: I bought my original copy in '72 and have read and reread it many times. A couple of years ago I gave it to my (then) 10 yr. old daughter. Now I have another young person in my life who will enjoy it as it is meant to be enjoyed, ie; on whatever level you're on. I miss my copy as well. Put me down for two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pure genius
Review: All I have so say is that it is a beautiful look at the meaning of life. It is a passionate book about finding your true soul.

I recommend this for EVERYONE!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: It's my new favorite story to read when things are going crazy. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I want to give this book to all of my superachieving friends and those who are destined for greatness (translation: everyone I know)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back in school....
Review: I remember once in secondary school everyone had to choose a book, read it, and do a review of it. I was looking through the bookshelfs in the classroom and stumbled upon this book. It was to change my life forever (and I damn well mean that!)

This book has a way to put me at peace with myself every time I read it. It's just got an effect which is unexplainable, but undoubtedly real.

If I had the money, I'd buy everyone in the world a copy of this book, then the world would be at peace :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great thriller
Review: A lost boy roaming the beach deperately. A rabies-infected starving seagull with a flambouyant disregard for the food chain. Bach sets the stage brilliantly for the fateful showdown, and helps us cope with the aggression of wild animals. Bravo! JLS is the greatest psyco-thriller of all time. I just wish the bird wouldn't have eaten the boy's eyeballs like that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I dreamed while reading
Review: A wonderful story. Reading it is an occasion to dream, to reflect, to stop our stressed life style . All you can do is thinking about your life and having an introspective seeing of your habits. A must for stressed people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Have you even read the book?
Review: It's amazing to see someone insult the intellectual capacity of others when she has never even read the book in question.

I think of this book as somewhat of a Rorschrach (sp?) test. What you see in it is more a reflection of you, than of the book itself.

I think the most spiritual pieces of music, poetry and literature are like mirrors, reflecting back at you what you bring to them.

Either that, or it's just a stupid seagull book.

; )

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book I have ever read!
Review: Richard Bach has once again set me soaring above the clouds. Johnathon Livingston Seagull is great. It challenges you to be more than you have ever imagined you could be.
