This book was an interesting kind of parable. it has plenty of moments that will stick with me for a while. i enjoyed how the author captures different point of view and didn’t let the story get so big that it couldn’t maneuver itself. the theme was really captivating.

juneholm's review against another edition

3.0

En helt ok roman. Gode råd og vakre budskap, men likevel ingen litterær sensasjon. Dette kan likevel være verdt å ta med seg eller minne seg selv på:

• Frykt er en større hindring enn hindringen selv
• Bryt ut av en monoton tilværelse
• Omfavn nåtiden
• Suksess har ringvirkninger
• Ta avgjørelser
• Tør å være urealistisk
• Ikke gi opp (livets hemmelighet er å falle syv ganger og å stå opp åtte ganger)
• Fokuser på din egen reise
• Vi kan ikke lære uten å handle
• Ta vare på sannheten
