I thought this book was great. I like to look for meanings I can apply to my own life from books – and while I searched and searched and felt that this didn’t have one, the story has stuck with me for quite some time. For some reason, this book makes me want to shed my possessions, and hold onto the things that matter. I was drawn to it because the first page of the book is written on the cover. It’s unique and the story is creative as he uses pictures to sometimes tell the story. The only thing that I did not like about this book is that the paperback version has added chapters, changing the plot – I thought it was fine to begin with.
