Book Reviews of The Prophet
Book Review: An ageless book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of this wonderful book since my college days (back in the dark ages). It contains many wonderful thoughts that will always inspire.Book Review: An amazing book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has changed my life. A friend loaned me her copy of the book when I was going through a severe depression, and through reading it and pondering what the book says about understanding yourself, the world around you, and life in general I was able to get "back on track" in my life. I loved it so much that I purchased my own copy and have re-read the book several times since. I would recommend it to anybody who is going through a tough time in their life, or just wants a better understanding of what "the meaning of life" truly is.Book Review: An infinity of stars
Summary: 5 Stars
Like watching an Olympic athlete or listening to an accomplished singer reading Khalil Gibran is in many ways indescribeable.
In that way, it's good that many of the other reviewers have tried to describe this book by giving anectodes of how it personally touched them. But ultimately those anectodes are like the stories of people who've gone to some great vacation spot.
Sure, they can tell you how they felt enjoying its weather or appreciating its beauty but such descriptions will never compare to you taking your own personal journey there.
Because of the way this book is written, some of its passages will no doubt touch you more than others but it is beyond doubt that you will emerge touched and having that rare feeling of connecting with someone only through the medium of the printed word.
I wish we could award more than five stars. I wish it could be an infinity...for every heart touched by this wonderful, wonderful book.
Book Review: Anyone For Enlightenment???
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was sent to me by my grandmother when i was going through some very hard times in my life. She had written in her letter that she had sent along with the book that her favorite teacher had recommended it to her during a time in her life when she was feeling "somewhat disillusioned with people". She said that the book enlightened her on various subjects in life and she hoped it would do the same for me, and enlighten me it did. This was unlike any book I had ever read. I would compare this book to only one other in the quality of it's messages it portrays, that book being the bible. If you or any one else you know needs some enlightenment on any aspect of life I strongly suggest you pick up Gibran's masterpiece The Prophet, you will not be disappointed.Book Review: As simple as this...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you can read then read this book. After that, find somebody who can't read and read it to them. It's that good.
