#hardcover#spirtual#independence#discovery#seagulls Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a book about potential, about dreamers, about passion and the meaning of life. That’s quite a lot for a little book about an ordinary Seagull who teaches himself to be extraordinary. This is a book for anyone who is a dreamer with a passion that doesn’t fit into the pack. Longer review: Jonathan Livingston Seagull doesn’t feel like it fits in with the rest of the flock. They spark and care only for food, flocking around the fishing boats in the hope of picking up scraps of fish and bread, while Jonathan Livingston Seagull flies by himself working on his skills of flight. Now seagulls are not known for being graceful flyers, or for being fast or agile, but Jonathan Livingston Seagull is fascinated by these things. He spends hours trying to fly faster, higher or more spectacular ways. He would rather do that than eat. For him flight is a special thing. It is the purest of joys. It is the thing that when he does it he feels most himself. And he becomes something quite extraordinary. But the flock do not like this, and Jonathan Livingston Seagull is exiled to live by himself.
