Summary: Straddling the middle of the road...
Comment: A lot of people have noted that this book inspires love-it-or-hate-it reactions. I'm not sure whether I'm an exception to the rule or somehow just in both camps at once. There were some parts of this book which I found fascinating and wonderful. There were other parts which I found interminable and uninspiring.
Am I sorry I read the book? No, I think that in sum it was a worthwhile experience. Would I rush to read it again? No, I wouldn't, and I would offer only a qualified recommendation to anyone who asked if they should read this book. I would tell them that if they were willing to be patient and were willing to allot a significant chunk of time to the book then they would almost certainly get something out of it and they would have enhanced, in some small way, their general cultural literacy.

Summary: Don't read beyond the title
Comment: What a great title. And even an intriguing concept...explaining zen via the motorcycle. Unfortunately, the book turns out to be a long winded narcissistic lecture by a person you wouldn't want to be stuck in a car with, never mind a motorcycle. Don't waste your time. Take a mindful walk instead.

Summary: Overrated!!! But still a good book
Comment: A very overrated book by college proffesors and other pseudo intellectuals, but nevertheless it makes a good fiction book.
