A bit like some of the other reviews. I'd almost forgotten I'd read this and only kept pushing on due to the number of (old) great reviews.

Meh. A good enough allegorical story. I'm just a little bored with the "Follow Your Dreams No Matter What" camp. There's more richness and complexity to living a good life.

In other news, Jeremy Irons could read me the phone book and I'd probably stay mildly interested.
