papi 's review for:
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
by Richard Bach
While I enjoyed Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull when I first read it as a teenager, it was both for its philosophy as well as for its gentle humor and simple (though not simplistic) view of the important things in life. I did not have as positive a reaction to Illusions. While it was mildly interesting to me, it seemed more like somewhat amateurish fiction than anything that was especially thought-provoking or developmental. There are some good quotes in the book, and it held my attention as a young man, but I don't think it would now. JLS, on the other hand, though much shorter and quick to read, led me to think and ponder on some important life issues...issues that with age (and hopefully added wisdom), I still believe are critically important. Illusions just didn't do that for me.
