I don't get it. I'm quitting half way through. I like the simple writing style, but the point of the story isn't working for me. So I'm done. ...more

Inspires me to listen to my heart.
Similar to Celestine Prophecy, even more so than his other work, The Witch of Portebello.
Told as a fable, quick read.
