I love this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vision (Hardcover)
Each short is unique and beautiful. The way he articulates, the metaphors he uses, the message he puts forth....It all comes together and just makes you smile! And I smiled and nodded my head while reading most of this book. I couldn't put it down. I read it straight through in one sitting, and I'm about to go through it again. I really felt this book and learned a great deal from it. From the first sentence of the first reflection and on from there I was and still am captivated.

Purchased this for a young man who enjoyed the book. He loved it, said it was well written. I've read Gibran for over 30 years. I went on to purchase all the books in this series from Amazon, who delivered fast.
