The Learn follows Owayne on his journey from being a boy, a local beach scavenger to that of a priest.
What i really enjoyed about this book was that the author really made me think about development, growth and learning within the human race. We take so much for granted but at one point humans didn't have things such as paracetamol, cars, bricks even..the list is endless.
It was really good to see the author show different views to learning. As you could imagine some people would be open to new ideas but even in this day and age some people are stuck in there ways and don't see things as progress.
My personal view is Owayne's journey is one of enlightenment as he opens his mind and his eyes to all the possibilities out there in the world..all the wonders waiting to be shared.
For me the pace of the tale was a little 0n the slow side..i like a fast paced tale after all, but the pace did offer the chance for you to see the spiritualistic or even sometimes simplistic and differing views on knowledge and development.
This book isn't a hard read as such but it needs your time and focus to really understand and enjoy the tale. The language used takes time to digest to fully immerse yourself in "The Learn".
Overall The Learn is a very creative and interesting tale about knowledge and development along with the dangers surroundings it. The final few chapters of the tale really had me hooked with the injection of action right when you needed it.
The tale really does make me think about what it must have been like when things were discovered.. and would have i been one of those scared, or would i have embraced it?
It's a calm story for the most part and the book would be really suited for those who have the time to devote to it, to embrace the tale like Owayne must embrace "The Learn"
For me it's a solid 4* :)
