 A bit too preachy and pretty..
I grew up reading Johnathon Livingston Seagull over and over, and became a fan of Richard Bach after reading a few of his other books later in life, but with One it seems he's become too comfortable in his role as an always-inspiring and thought-provoking author, and didn't strain himself to be either. The book rambles on quite a bit and has an extremely different tone than something like Illusions. Still made you think a few times, but I definitely didn't feel at all enlightened when reading it. Very mushy and soft throughout, and occasionally even preachy and self-righteous. I'd recommend one of his earlier books over this.

 Another great book by Richard Bach
Have you ever read a book that made you stop and think? One that is different than all the others?
Over the past weekend I read Richard Bach's book, "one". It is a book that is written in a story format; one that has many messages in it and one that makes you stop and think.
It is about choices we make. And how the direction of our lives comes down to the choices we choose. To quote from the book: "A tiny change today brings us to a dramatically different tomorrow. There are grand rewards for those who pick the high hard roads, but those rewards are hidden by years. Every choice is made in the uncaring blind, no guarantees form the world around us."
I found myself involved in the story, when I finished the book I had many thoughts about my own life. It is a book that I would recommend you to read!
On the back cover the following quote is shown. It is a good quote for reflection!
"I gave my life to become the person I am right now.
Was it worth it?"

Wonderfully inspiring!
I think I read this book at exactly the right moment in my life. It was when I was ready and when I needed this type of inpiration and insight the most. It was a time in my life when I felt like things were going downhill faster than an avalanche. It was this choice I made to read this book that changed my life. Because I read this book, I am much more fully aware of what I do and how it might affect my life as well as those of others in the long run. Thanks to this book, I am much more mindful and aware of my life and feel like I am "living" in the fullest sense of the word! Another book I really like now is "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is a theoretical book on human nature and consciousness in general but it is truly inspiring! I am absolutely sure that my life would not be the same without these books.

Unlimited possibilities of a Parallel Universe
Wow, how thought provoking to consider a parallel universe. Our choices are a world filled with unlimited possibilities. Our lives can be lived on many different levels, and in many dimensions. Re read this book several times, to get the true message. Needs to be digested gradually, and savor every word.

Boring, but somewhat inspirational
First of all, I like to congratulate all the readers that read this book more than once. That is quite a feat. ONE time is more than enough. This book is so boring for a fictional read. It reminded me of the movie, "Solaris", which is about going back in time only it added another twist: if you could change the past, would you? Anyway, that movie is just as boring, but I must say it is better than this book because the actress is hot. I thought the author's concept of "One" is quite confusing. For instance, the chapter when Leslie encourages her younger self to pursue playing the piano, a path she had not taken, this will affect her life and what she is now. In any case, I don't think one decision can totally change a whole person's life as some readers suggest. If this was the case, we would all be in deep trouble. There are always exceptions, such as deciding to buy that lottery ticket and winning, but usually it takes many decisions to shape one's life. I don't buy this decision-making plot or the plot that everything is "One". But two stars for the nice self-help pieces littered throughout the book and for the nice cover.
