We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

The Garden Of The ProphetThe Garden Of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The day I finished with The Prophet I thought I'd never read anything quite like it and that saddened me greatly. How wrong I had been!

The Garden of The Prophet is every bit as amazing and soothing for the soul as The Prophet was and there were parts that seemed to be written especially for me.

Continuing from where The Prophet ended, this book begins with
Almustafa returning to his homeland. The words and the thoughts that follow talk about distances, departures, farewells and homecomings. They talk about the transience of beauty and the about despair in abundance-things that make you see life with a different point of view.

I would agree with you if you tell me that in poetic merit it doesn't rival nor stands equal to The Prophet but, if, for a moment, these books are treated as separate works, which they are, it is both unfair and wrong to even venture a comparison.

Without doubt, The Best Read of 2014 . Highly recommended!
