This book was so deep that I'm not sure I understood the whole thing. I've toyed between giving the book two stars and giving it four stars. It was so profound that sometimes it was frustrating, yet at other times it was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. It's a book about learning how to change the world, as taught by Ishmael, a gorilla. The language was beautiful and the message and teachings were incredibly profound. It's a book that I would almost have to re-read to fully understand, but I'm not certain that I liked it enough to actually do that.
