This is a heavy book, as in there is a lot of take in and comprehend, but it's well written. I started reading this book few years ago but put it down. Came back to it as an audiobook this year. I think it's better suited for audio listening, but only if you can focus on this alone. This is not a multitasking audio book. Great words of wisdom and advice. I've gained a lot from looking at my “un-schedule” even if I may not follow it every day. Also working on changing my mindset about things so that I am not dreading each task in life and procrastinating on everything.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! Cline is a genius writer, the entire story kept me captivated. I loved the characters, the storyline, the world it was written in. Wil Wheaton did an AMAZING job as the narrator. The tale of the world took be back to my days as a teenager in chat rooms with my closest friends. I can't recommend this story enough for people like me. LOVED it!
I liked the message behind this book and the idea of creating margin in our lives. The idea that this is written by a doctor is powerful as well. I ended up skimming much of the book though. I felt it was wordy and over complicated for a book about simplifying lives and creating margin. Also overall it felt the solution for creating margin is to move to another country, preferably third world. I liked the book but would prefer a more simple approach to the message.
