1.0

First published in 1970, and then later published in 2014 with some more pages added, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a terrible book by American writer Richard Bach that is extremely simplistic. It is a fable with a moral that is quick and boring to get through. The entire short story is about a seagull that wants to find meaning to its life beyond eating food. The book is vague and the titular character becomes a messiah like figure as the story rapidly progresses. This book is not worth any reader's time.
