Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-18 00:00:00 Nick Mckenzie Fun book If you liked The Shack or The Five People You Meet in Heaven, you will probably like this. The metaphors are not too subtle and the symbols a little too over the top, not one of the better in this genre (does this even have a specific genre?) but a good book nonetheless. Turns out Burchard is a motivational speaker and life coach so throw in The Alchemist too. Maybe this is a genre: the fantasized and personified performance art as extended motivation / self help. I do like the carnivalesque theme and this reminded me a little of Ray Bradbury.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-03 00:00:00 Matze Marben I had come across this book at Goodwill and opened it to the front page with all the praise from some of the leaders in business development and success. I knew I had a winner. And boy did I! Everything I have learned over the years from self help books, life coaches, business coaches, lectures and videos were all crammed into an ingenious novel. Trying to distill the very essence of success and inspiration through fiction is a quite a feat. What Brendan Burchard has done is nothing short of a miracle; to have a character so thoroughly self evaluate his life through the lenses of a multitude of characters at an improbable and impossible amusement park. At points in the novel you can not help but to evaluate your own life. I did so at several points and realized my life so parallels that of the main character in many ways despite very different circumstances. I can not highly enough endorse this novel to anyone searching for purpose and success in their life. To say anything more would diminish both the satisfaction and revelatory nature of the book. Go read!
