I cannot give my full thoughts on this book as I read the majority of it over half a year ago and then managed to lose my copy of it. I recently picked it back up and finished it. So here are my slightly outdated thoughts:
Doty's story is an inspiring, wholesome and relatable one. While I may not share many of the experiences he went through, I can see myself in a lot of the thoughts his experiences give him. Serving as a sweet and moving story as well as a guide – or a suggestion of a direction – to better one's life and the world through compassion, understanding, and love, Into the Magic Shop was not only an enjoyable read, but one which themes and lessons have stuck with me (in the time where I lost it, I have often thought of the wisdom it shared) and expectedly will continue to do so.
