Good Points: A wonderful book about the relationships between ourselves and our surroundings, be they people or other things, where Pirsig (the undoubted genius that he is) may have stumbled upon the most believable, philosophical meaning of life itself.Very, very highly recommended!

Bad Points: A little hard to digest for anyone who isn't of superhuman intellect, occasionally i found myself thinking 'hold on... what?' and re-reading the last few pages! (sometimes more than once)

General comments: My father gave me this book at a difficult time in my life. It opened my mind, and kept it open. Buy it NOW.10/10
