5 stars ("... you are free.") - Since reading this book, I've urged everyone I know to give it a look. It is a (very) short story, but one that delivers. Anyone who reads it with an open mind will come away at least a little changed, for the better. Enjoy. 5 stars (A basic book for any colection) - I bought this book to read to my kids. I didn't read it until I was in High School and I whished I had read it when I was younger. 5 stars (Inspiring) - This book is about a seagull by the name of Jonathan who pursues his dreams overcoming all limitations. This book shall leave a lasting impression on your mind. Richard Bach tries to convey the message that `impossible is nothing'. Through willpower and constant practice, we can exceed all limitation that we have self-imposed on ourselves. Perfection doesn't have limits. Two words best describe this book- thought provoking and inspiring. ...

4 stars (One of the best books out there on Borderline Personality Disorder) - I purchased this book for a friend. She wanted to give it to her Doctor. She was so impressed with this book she wanted everyone to read it. It is very well thought out and easy to understand for the lay person. A must read if have Borderline Personality Disorder or just know someone that does. 1 stars (please read this review) - If you are truelly a borderline personality who is seeking information before treatment or you are new to treatment do not read this book.It is a very outdated view which is insensitive to the needs of BPDers and their families at a time when hope and faith is needed.I read this post intensive treatment and as a now diagnosed BPD meaning treated and considered successfully treated this book negates it.One star for pointing out fellow famous BPDers.But read this when you can look back... Stick to Marsha Linehan and" Lost in the Mirror" 4 stars (Things Become Clearer) - This book defines a condition that has baffled us - BPD. Suspicions are confirmed, and perhaps courses of action are opened to us that we didn't have before. We recommend this book if someone close to you is frightening you with their behavior. It can enable you to take action, or at least better understand what's going on. ...
