My Opinion:
For those of you who actually read my blog, know that I host a meme on Saturday named Quote It. So when I had a chance to review one of my favorite philosophers of all time, I jumped at it!
This came in print sheet with no binding, and that didn't bother me once I started. I just couldn't stop and kept on reading. There were a few quotes I had heard before, but I learned quite a few more. Here is my favorite of them:

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

Truly an inspiring read!! Well worth any ones time.
(5/5)

    I don't usually go for books of quotes, but this one does sound tempting.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
