seldom have i read such a wise and thoughtful book. it undoubtedly is 'a fable about following your dream'. it's adventurous and romantic and so peaceful. absolutely enticing!
the message about following your heart and 'personal legend' was a little repetitive, which made the last third of the book somewhat boring, but the ending was quite satisfying nevertheless.

This is like Candide but not fun? This feels like it would be an inspirational book for white men because society has been built to benefit them, so it's not a stretch that the "universe" is rooting for them to succeed. Also, no thanks to the religious parts.
