Ishmael

[IMRICKJAMES]

Has anyone read this book yet?

Everyone I know who has read it either hails it as a life altering experience thatll change you forever or the worst book known to man and it should be burned with the ashes locked away underground so it can never be made back into a book

Is there anyone out there with a middle of the road opinion?

I got this as a gift and I would fall in the "middle of the road" category for it. I think it depends on where you're at in life when you read it because it could be the book that gives you the hope and enthusiasm you need or it could reek of cheez whiz.

It isn't groundbreaking but it did put some interesting ideas in one place. It also used some heavily corny ideas.

I would finish up by saying that any book that you hear such polarizing views of has to be worth reading, right? Just to know where you fall with it all. It's not an epic book so it's worth the time to read it but I wouldn't spend more than five bucks for it.

It was pretty good, read it in one night, which is usually the sign of a worthwhile book to me. I liked "The Story of B" much better, though.
