Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Our Comments

Rating- 10

I have not read the book, however, I did see the movie version. It was wonderful! There is a message there for all of us, but especially for children. The message:, Follow your dreams and never let anyone tell you that you can't reach them. Never give up! Reach for the sky, for the sky is the limit. This book will be excellent reading and the perfect discussion topic for family meetings and family home evenings. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough! C. Bruun/Cactus Ventures

"It's a useful, short read. I read this book quite some time back and still feel that I should have read it even earlier. There are really two aspects to the book. You could take it as a story and you could take is as a search for the basis of everything one does. It kindles one to think about life and its struggles. every parent should encourage his children to read this early in adolescence."

"Free as a bird... this is not the story of a seagull. This is a vision of freedom captured within the pages of a book. It is the story of every living being in this universe that yearns to be free. It is a cry of freedom, bursting out of the souls of every one of its readers. Every time I read the book, I learn something new.And all that I learned from the book was essentially one thing-that we are all free. And that it takes most of us a lifetime to realize it. It's portrayal of the seagull community is a saddening but true portrayal of the real world. This book is a triumph if ever there was one."

"Rare,unique, must-read book. All I can say about this book is what it has done for me. I read this book when I was 11 years old. (I am now 29) and it definitely changed my way of viewing the world,the afterlife, and why we are here and born to this earth.Jonathon Livingston Seagull is a philosophy, and , as simple as it is, it is very profound. to this day and as long as I am still learning, I am still reading spiritual books, I can still read Jonathon and get something out of it and I still recommend it to people. That, I think says a lot for this book!!"
