5.0 out of 5 stars Stays in your mind
I have read this book many times. I got it as a present, and the first time I read it in the plane it touched me deeply. Since that time I read it every now and then.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jonathan Livingston Dolphin
I found the similarity toJonathan Livingston Seagull to be highly annoying and distracting throughout the book. Dolphin just isn't as well written and has nothing new to say that Jonathtan Livingston Seagull didn't say better 30 years ago. Shouldn't we expect a new book to have something new to offer? The similarities are so grating. It's a poor imitation if not an...

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read!, April 3, 2009

This review is from: The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book... one that should be read over and over again... I purchased this book because our son, who drowned on 9/3/02, loved the ocean, the earth and every living creature... I read it one night and cried quite a bit. It just reminded so much of him and the things he used to say to us... Definitely a book to add to your collection...

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is magic. Should be read by all., September 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dolphin (Hardcover)
This book has been one of the best presents I have ever received in my life. After I read The Dolphin, I remembered how wonderful life can be if we follow our own dreams. This book reminded me of the real important things in life: those things that can only be seen with the heart. It is so simply written, and still delivers such a strong message that I would reccommend this book to anyone, no matter what his/her age is. It is never too late to dream again !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flowing journey, November 20, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer (Paperback)
Remember the transformational impact of Richard Bach's book,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull"?
Or, how about, Hemann Hesse's book, "Siddhartha"?
Well, on a similar note, we have Sergio Bambare's book, "The Dolphin".
And, just like Jonathan Livningston Seagull loved
to fly through the air in his passsionate evolution of
self discovery - we now have a dolphin riding the waves - never giving
in to mediocrity or the pressure of success being defined by society
in financial terms.
The timing of Bambare's "The Dolphin" is perfect for today's collapse
of a corrupt and shallow system where money is more important than
one's soulful journey.
The fact that this books is focused around life and its relation to
water as a metaphor resonates highly with my lifelong passion and writings
about relating to water as a living entity - which it really is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading pleasure, April 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dolphin (Hardcover)
The Dolphin makes you view the world from a new angle. I recommend it to anyone who (like me) is engrossed in the rat race. The Dolphing makes you think and review your standing in life, your approach to many things. Great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jonathan Livingston Dolphin, June 9, 2010
This review is from: The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer (Paperback)
I found the similarity toJonathan Livingston Seagull to be highly annoying and distracting throughout the book. Dolphin just isn't as well written and has nothing new to say that Jonathtan Livingston Seagull didn't say better 30 years ago. Shouldn't we expect a new book to have something new to offer? The similarities are so grating. It's a poor imitation if not an outright plagiarism. The only benefit to reading this book is if you get it in Spanish, it's written at a nice easy level and is easy to follow.
