I recently read it, and I liked it. Didn't love it, probably won't read it again, but definitely better than most books I've read recently. Granted, I was looking for something quick and simple after just finishing Crime and Punishment, so that may be a factor.
I will say I found the book extremely predictable. The foreshadowing in this book is not subtle. I know most people take away the "Personal Legend", but that just didn't really resonate with me. Why I liked the book was learning the Language of the World, that connected with me.
