A seminal work in western philosophy, Illusions is both elegantly simply and deceptively thought provoking. It is also an interesting and fun irreverent story! This is about my 7th copy. I keep lending them to friends who ask if they can keep the book!

Very "new-age." A fast read (I read it aloud in an afternoon) entertaining while thought provoking as to the nature of the universe and man's place in it. Philosophy made easy!

Well, if somehow you don't know the story of Jonathan Livingston Sea Gull, here's another offering from Richard Bach. It's fun; it's transporting and it's thought provoking. I loved it.
This book has been around for a while. Still excellent. If you haven't read it in a while, give it a try. You'll be surprised at the difference in your prespective. I know I was.
Illusions is delightful. I've become a new-old fan of Richard Bach's work (in fact, I have his "One" open on my lap even now as I write this review).
With Illusions, Bach carried me up in his little airplane and introduced me to his teachers and ideas in a fast-moving story which left me inspired and a little breathless.
Bravo, Mr. Bach. You're a gift to the world.

This book was given to me and over the years I have passed on many copies to other people. I think this is Richard Bach's best book. Aside from being a good story, it reminds us that our world is how we make it.

A wonderful story with deep meaning. I re-read it after 30 years, and it was just as wonderful today. I highly recommend it.
What a great spiritual journey.

In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar....
In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.

I think this is a classic in some circles, but it's not really my thing.
