It all happen in an ordinary town filled with ordinary people with ordinary problems, which we all do encounter somewhere in our life. When something extraordinary struck this small town when an old man involuntarily touches everybody’s heart and getting himself involved in solving their unnoticed problems. After hearing their share of stories, he always says “you do lack in PERSPECTIVE” after a couple of explanations and realizations he will leave them enlightened and with their hearts at eased.
I’ll give five for five because the book is so inspiring. As the story progresses the definition of the word “PERSPECTIVE” gets clearer and clearer. I really like the sudden change of mood from being light to the beginning till you reach the last chapter where you get a bit puzzled and crave you to go on the story and end it with a seed of perspective in your heart. To wrap it up! The book is so good.
Additional analysis:
The book was so inspiring, it really helps me a lot especially on making my perspective even wider. The author (Andy Andrews) really made a connection to his readers, concentrating more on problem solving and looking it in a different perspective (who doesn't have any problem/s?). The book has a subliminal message that, all you need is a wide perspective to solve any life problems. The story was well paced, every chapter is well connected to its next's. Though the story is bit shorter than i expected it really made an impact, sometimes all you need is a brief and concise story to make a bigger impression. Every character's problem gives different color and depth to the definition of the word "PERSPECTIVE". All in all it's a must read book to everyone.
