Book Review of Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
reviewed on + 721 more book reviews


From the dust jacket: "People who make their own rules when they know they're right...people who get a special pleasure out of doing something well (even if only for themselves)...people who know there's more to this whole living thing than meets the eye: they'll be with Jonathan Seagull all the way. Others may simply escape into a delightful adventure about freedom and flight. Either way it's an uncommon treat."

May be read as a simple children's story or as an allegory or as a story about Jesus or as a story about transcendence. Short, inspiring with wonderful photographs of gulls in flight, done by Russell Munson.
