Title: An over-rated and disappointing work
Review: When I studied philosophy at university, it was exciting and dynamic, and opened my eyes and mind in ways I'd never thought possible. Imagine my disappointment, therefore, when I read this highly-acclaimed work. Having heard so much about it, I wanted to like it, I really did, but, oh dear. All I can say is I'm glad Mr Pirsig wasn't one of my university tutors, for, barring a couple of passages, he succeeds only in turning a wonderful area of human experience into a cure for insomnia. I'll come back to 'Zen...' again some time in the future and hope for better things, but, for the time being, I have to consign it to my 'Most Disappointing Books' pile.
