One Sentence Summary:
A young boy goes on a journey and realizes that he can follow any path he chooses.
review:
A very philosophical read, one of few books I re-read with some regularity. When I first read it I recommended it to everyone because I thought it changed my life... really it just made it easier for me to justify my life and the choices I had made. That said every time I read it I take something else out of it and reflect on my life for a while. A well written parable, it basically tells you to follow your dreams and overcome anything in your way, let nothing prevent you from living the life you want to live the way you want to live it. I think everyone should read it at least once.
10/10

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
