Review of 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

While I liked a smaller part of it, the rest of hardly bearable. Pretentious statements, useless philosophy lessons and a very lousy storyline you will get some 10% of time spent on. The rest was pretentious af and boring. And I had a philosophy course, I was trying to get it. But it is all the mastery to bring ideas into the world and he clearly hadn't one. The motorcycle maintenance? Well, you will get some of it spread across his whole story in accidental cuts and carved book pages. I have some mixed feelings about this one. I like it but it made me struggle a lot.
Way too much watery goo one might assume to be philosophy but it ain't.
Consume with caution
