Book Reviews of The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel

Book Review: Dense and compact - a must to read
Summary: 5 Stars

The book is far from being "light", the quality of the ideas presented commands much thought. It is not a book for a Sunday afternoon read and must be tackled with a rather serious attitude. However, the concentration required is worth spent because as you conclude, there will be something different about how you perceive life. Extremely thought-provoking, it does us all a favour, compelling us to reconsider our views and to think about thinking.
