I really liked this. I am a Christian and don't align fully with Buddhism but I find a lot of the teachings pretty similar. Most of this I have heard in some form before but it's always good to have repetition for important lessons. I like the aspirations part a lot.

This wasn't great- the writing style and the author using himself as the protagonist of his fictional book was just kind of weird. And the story itself felt like it dragged. It was an ok mystery, and wasn't predictable, but none of the characters caught my interest. I personally am not a fan of the narrator of the audiobook, although that preference doesn't affect my rating in this case because it didn't affect my opinion or enjoyment of the book. 
All in all it wasn't bad but I'm not glad I read it and I probably wouldn't recommend it.

This was ok. 
It wasn't bad, but the story was pretty flat and didn't hold much meaning besides the super basic "it's worth living through life even when it's boring" 
Lucy was annoying and immature throughout the whole thing, focused on superficial stuff. I did like Felix, and laughed at a few fun parts. 
The references that people didn't get would definitely not be so irrelevant after only 15 years, and it bothered me probably more than it should have that people in TV industry wouldn't have heard of some of the shows she mentioned.
