Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Hmmmm. A strange book. Philosophy is not something of interest for me, and the subject can be complex for me to grasp so I attribute some of my lack of enjoyment of the book to my own lack of interest and knowledge on the subject. Those sections of the book were 3 stars for me. I absolutely loved the story of the motorcycle maintenance and the trip, the relationship between father and son. This was 5 stars for me.

The specifics of his treatment were not totally clear to me, until at one point during the book I decided to read some reviews to see if anyone else was as confused as I was. That discovery made it more time interesting and things began to make more sense for me. The afterword was a beautiful yet tragic ending to the book, but also provided a bit more clarity that I was lacking.
