Book Review of The Conference of the Birds

This book is quite pretty - it has lovely illustrations, and is clearly well-made (good quality paper, solid binding). It is not, however, particularly enjoyable as a book. The story is disjointed, and doesn't make all that much sense. I understand the book is based on a lengthy mystic poem, and all it made me want to do was read that poem to see what it really was about.
As has been mentioned by other reviewers, it reads like a Paulo Coelho book. If that is something you enjoy, then I heartily recommend this book.
