That's a brilliant review, capturing the major threads of the story like no other I've seen. But it also seems best suited to those who've already read the book (and can appreciate the relevance of the reviewer's philosophical argot), and perhaps not as suited to those who are deciding if this story would be worth their time.
OTOH, maybe anyone not put off by the reviewer's language and willing to read his entire review will see that s/he indeed does have The Right Stuff to plumb the rich depths of ZatAoMM.
God speed, Mr Pirsig. Your book meant worlds to me.
- Fezzik 10y agoSlight tangent: I have seen a lot of mention of Zen, but not many people bring up the follow-up book, Lila. I found the second to be a more accessible and applicable-to-every-day-life sort of book, and more maturely written. I enjoyed Zen more when I was younger and Lila more as an adult; I have read both at least 4 or 5 times apiece. Both are brilliant though. And the linked review is fantastic.
- skilesare 10y agoYes, Lila is great. I think there is a lot there if you are looking to make some meaning out of a seemingly random world.
