Rating:  Summary: A solid guide-book for excelling in life Review: I'm giving away my age when I reveal that I first read this in my mid-twenties in 1974 , when it was the 'runaway' best-seller in the land. I still read it at least once a year. Jonathan and the Breakfast Flock portray a perfect portrait of man's failed relationship with the attainment of knowledge. If you are a 'seeker', Jonathan will show you how to 'fly' as high as you wish to go. If you are NOT a 'seeker', you won't have a clue what he is trying to teach us. "Those who have eyes, let them see. Those who have ears, let them hear'.
Rating:  Summary: i love this book! Review: i read my copy so many times the pages fell out. i have memorized most of it. it is hard to explain what draws me to the book, i just know that it contains so many human truths and hidden themes in jonathan's message that i have to read it again and again. "It was morning and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea. A mile from shore a fishing boat chummed the water and the word for breakfast flock flashed through the air until a crowd of a thousand seagulls came to dodge and fight for bits of food, it was another busy day beginning. But way off alone, out by himself, beyond boat and shore, Jonathan Livingston Seagull was practicing..." This is how the book starts.
Rating:  Summary: Inspiring Review: This book accurately portrays many ambiguous facets of humanity such as lifes meaning and freedom.
Rating:  Summary: Literature-wanna-be Hogwash for Pathetic People Review: For a long time I had suspected that America was a nation full of pathetic people desperately striving to improve their lives. This so-called book has confirmed my suspicions. That most of the reviews for this piece of trash are positive is not surprising. After all, this book is full of the You-can-do-anything-you-want if-you-try-hard-enough nonsense that Americans cherish. That anyone would describe the author's overwrought, shamelessly manipulative, saccharine prose as good literature, however, is simply mind-boggling. People, please, get off your butts and start living your lives!! Trust me, reading feel-good, exploitative books written by savvy, if untalented, authors will do little to change your unsatisfactory existence.
Rating:  Summary: It's REAL! Review: I once was sitting in a beach in Daytona, FL., facing the ocean, feeding the seagulls. They fight with each other for foods. Who said this book is not about the real world!?
Rating:  Summary: Great story. Review: This is a great, riveting horror story about a young boy's love of a gull that goes bad. Sporting artfully wrought sentences and a moving ending that will send chills down your spine, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a don't miss.
Rating:  Summary: The Best 45 minutes You Will Spend! Review: I first read this book when I was 12 and I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was great. Read it again at 19 and it changed my life forever. It's a truly inspirational book that tells you that if you believe in yourself anything is possible. All you need is faith. I pick it up ever so often now when I'm feeling down and it always serves as a good pick me up. You won't regret reading it but you will regret it if you don't get the message. READ IT!
Rating:  Summary: MAGIC AND WONDERFUL Review: "don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly".. this is what Jonathan teachs me in the pass, now and forever.. he is in my heart since long time ago.. and he still live in me.. strongly.. deeply..
Rating:  Summary: A story of freedom Review: A story that teach you how you can live following your dreams. You can lear to fly.
Rating:  Summary: Nice pictures Review: Ok, get this, like the seagull is the revolutionary who gets killed and then comes back to life to teach us all, like man the seagull is Jesus but he's also Buddha, you dig? And to pad out this lame storyline, Bach gives us a bunch of grainy pictures of birds. Too bad he doesn't have the guts to show us birds pooping on a statue, having found TRUE enlightenment.
