Catalina's review

Nov 30, 2014

it was ok

bookshelves: owned-books

Boring, but really boring. It started well, some nice beautiful pieces of wisdom and bang...about half way through it, lost me, nothing. I just couldn't answer the question: "why do I read this book", with each page I was hoping the answer will jump at me in the next page, the next page until I was at the end of the book!

“The part in each of us that we feel is different from other people is just the part that is rare, the part that makes our special value - and that is the very thing people try to suppress. They go on imitating. And yet they think they love life”
