At first I was very confused, I thought this was going to be a book about believing in yourself, strength, ambition and struggle. But it's not. While I was reading it I thought, why can a seagull do the same thing as Jesus? Is he Jesus? He came back to life, he could heal the sick, he could resurrect the dead, he could even teleport himself (but he was not the only one who could teleport??). But reading some reviews, both here and on other websites, I understood I was not the only one thinking this was actually a religious book.
I also thought this was going to be an autobiography because I discovered that the author crashed like the seagull while flying (he's an aviator) but he crashed AFTER publishing the book, so it's not an autobiography, most like a premonition.
I looked up for an explanation but I can't find anything the author said. I'm very confused. Is it a religious book? Is it a "believe in yourself you can do it" book? We'll never know because I can't find any explanation made by the author.
It also reminded me of "The sacred mountain" by Alejandro Jodorowsky! Really weird movie but I enjoyed it.
2 stars, I did not enjoy the book, I would have liked it if I had an explanation and I could understand what was the meaning of the book.
