Customer Review #1:
A Master
I dont believe all readers would share the response I had, and this would be a shame, for rarely have I been so moved. This contains poems, short prose and stories- Some are beautiful parables, some are narratives of his past, others include gentle condemnations of harmful passions or yearnings for a better world; all (excluding, perhaps, the letters) are worth reading for any sort of audience, revolutionary or romantic, religious or humanist, idiot or intelligent, and so on.
Some parts of this book seemed unreal. So wonderous was the flow of words and the manifestation of Gibrans mind that I felt tears at the incredible beauty of the whole, I even shuddered in joy brought about by the realisation that this work of art exists- kind of like when first reading the Brothers Karamazov, seeing a Michaelangelo, or viewing a spectacular film of nature (Blue Planet, Pattagonia and the like); one is left in awe.

The Master of Words
All I have to say is that Kahlil Gibran is the master of literary emotion. I only hope to someday write even just one piece that can hold a flame to his writings. This book is unbelievable.

A new dimension all togather
Though I am not a very avid reader, but this is one of the most astonishing book I have ever come across. This is the third time I am buying this book. Everytime some of my friends takes it to read it and it never comes back. Everytime you flip thro this book, its different all the time. There is a new discovery waiting for you every time.
