I will save you about 94 pages. Change happens and you have to deal with it. That's about the only positive message you can get out of this book. Presumably you are a grownup and should have learned this already, in which case even reading this has been a waste of time.

That's the good stuff about this book. The bad stuff is that this sliver of an important message is drowned in an artless, over-the-top excuse for a fable with all the subtlety of hitting somebody in the face with a brick. The author tries to instill the idea that not only you should accept change, but you should unthinkingly accept it no matter what, and if you don't, then it's all your fault. Never mind that the premise itself implies that the main characters are being screwed-with by some higher power. No, if you have a problem with change, whoever is forcing change on you has nothing to do with it at all and should be held blameless. And then this immoral fable is wrapped in another story of the fable being told, and that is just pure salesmanship at its most tedious.

Do not waste your time on this book. You can get all the important points from the many, many negative reviews of the book, which are plentiful and far more entertaining than the book itself. You should also seriously question what is wrong with anyone who says they like it. I would give this book a zero if it was possible.
