ermiş’in devamı olarak geçmese kendi başına oldukça başarılı bir kitap olarak görülebilir ama ermiş gibi oldukça üst düzey bir kitabın devamı olarak değerlendirildiğinde sönük kalıyor maalesef.

I have to admit, I got bored. It was too poetic for my taste and I found a lot of words uneccesary.But still it has some genious thoughts and I like the humanistic voice of Gibran.It also remined me a lot of Jesus Christ's life .

Although not as immediately meaningful to me as The Prophet, the wisdom of Gibran fills every page and gave me deep cause for reflection.

The Garden of the Prophet didn't strike me as profoundly as did The Prophet, but there are still plenty of thought-provoking and moving passages within it.
It seemed to me that the character of Almustafa was more closely drawn to that of Christ in this volume. The parallels are not, however, overplayed, and the message is a universal one of love, forbearance and simplicity.
Edit: On a second reading I feel I got more from Garden, and have increased my rating accordingly. Gibran deals here with cosmic themes than the personal, human-scale issues in The Prophet and, perhaps, this is the reason it has taken me longer to assimilate. I'm sure to be coming back to Gibran's Garden again.

Very similar to The Prophet, and also quite good. Full of inspiring, life-affirming quotes.

Themes of time and the nature of giving are the core of this book. Needless to write that they were brilliantly handled.
