I'm hesitant to choose a star rating for this book because I can't help but feel like it is not the book's fault, but the publication. Whoever line edited this must have done it drunk. There is literally a typo or missing word every other page throughout the whole thing (my edition was first edition, from what I see it was never reprinted.) That being said it SHOULD be reprinted. Someone at Harper Collins ought to pick this back up, actually edit it this time and reprint it. (Also, I'm looking for an editing job if they need help with this project.)

Seriously, this book has potential. It could be Jonathan Livingston Seagull or Ishmael. It has the philosophy dripping through it for fresh minds just being introduced to the topics of great thinkers of past. It's also an entertaining story. My wife and I read this aloud over a few nights and we were laughing together throughout it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So four stars because of the author. No stars to whoever didn't pay attention to what the typist was doing. ( )
