This book is a quick read, though obviously there is more there. How much, exactly, remains in question. Apparently, others have seen more there than I did, but I think this is one of those books that reflects back at you what you are looking for in it. If one wants to find deep meaning or spirituality, one will find it -- extracting meaning from each picture, each word, each pause. But, I don't know. I found 'The Alchemist' to be much more successful in doing a similar thing. I would recommend that one instead...

This is a quick easy read. A small book with a big concept. Johnathon wants more out of life than simple survival. This would make a nice gift for graduates . . . those on the threshold of the real world.

Philosophical. Inspirational.

This is the first Richard bach book I read and I was in grade school. This book led me to his other writings such as Illusions, Bridge Across Forever and One. He takes me on an adventure and teaches me at the same time.

I have used this book for teaching ESL to students from all over the world with great success! It's timeless lessons are applicable to all!

This is the sweetest book I ever read. Jonathan Livingston is just SOOOOO funny, I just burst into laughter. The way he flies at full speed, the way he tries to act like he has really short wings, the way he joins a little "club" of seagulls. I just giggle and giggle when I just think about the things they all said! It's so sweet he way he wants to fly in a pretty way!
