I thought this book was fine. A bit predictable and a touch preachy. Otherwise, it was a fun perspective on live and the constant wonder of "what if".

This book is a true inspiration to be grateful for what one has. A delicate versatile story about dreams and life itself. I listened to the German audiobook read by Annette Frier last year and found it even more intriguing than reading the book.

 So admittedly I would probably give this book one or two stars most of the time. It felt preachy to me at times and very cheesy. But the timing of when I read this played a large factor. Maybe someday I'll re-read this and decide to change my rating, or maybe I won't. As it is, it helped me remember what I've been having trouble remembering lately, and that's worthy of at least one more star.
