I loved it when I read it, I must have been 17 or so. If I think about it now, it is probably more in the category „chicken soup for the soul”. ( ![]() 842860066X I found this book entirely by accident, someone on r/taoism mentioned this book. Then one of my friends told me that it was an analogy of Jesus. Reading the reviews, I had no idea what to expect from this book. My little brain was trying to imagine a story about a Taoist seagull, who also has a lot of diverse themes...and was also an analogy of Jesus...somehow(?) The book went down very quickly. If you are like me, confused reading this diverse description, read the book. It's a book about freedom and limits and many other things. Sincerely, I think that anyone can find some meaning or themes close to him in this little book. 5/5 Would follow The Great-Gull-Jonathan-Holy-Be-His-Name again.

Waited 50 (!) years to read this book and it didn't really hold up. In junior high, I remember this book was EVERYWHERE. Everyone read it, raved about it. I was curious, but never got around to it. Well, all I can say is that the reader for this book is probably a 5th or 6th grader, maybe even younger. I don't understand how it got on the NYT best seller list. The story itself is not horrible, a kind of philosophical fable -- about a seagull who learns he can do anything, if he believes in himself. The problem is that this booklet (it is very short) was taken as some kind of revelation about life. Yikes. I also felt that the black and white photographs that "illustrate" the book are terrible. They add nothing to the story, and are just not very well done. If it had been illustrated by an actual artist, it might have been a really nice kid's book.

Because he spends so much time perfecting his flying form instead of concentrating on getting food, a seagull is ostracized by the rest of the flock. No library descriptions found. |
