" I thought I would enjoy this a lot more than I did. It was a bit too repetitive for me. There were some wonderful quotable quotes, and Gandhi led a very impressive life, but I was disturbed a bit with what I felt was missing. While he wrote endlessly of his diet and why he did or did not eat x,y, and z, he wrote precious little of his wife and children. He seems to have spent much of his marriage separated from them while pursuing education and a career. I was also a little exasperated with the Brahmacharya vow and his constant harping on it, though I find his observance of Brahmacharya impressive. What I did love were his teachings of tolerance and organized resistance, civil disobedience, etc. I enjoyed in particular his stories of practicing law. Whatever your background, there is a lot to learn from Gandhi's perspectives and way of life. Definitely worth a read, but my word, I'm glad it's over. I found it rather long-winded...perhaps because I felt like he was trying to indoctrinate me. "
