Customer Reviews

Lots of ideas in a small number of pages

This is a thought-provoking book that is deceptively easy to read but that keeps one mulling over the ideas contained within. Each chapter begins and ends with a poem and Kajander's chapters are obviously based on a combination of experiences and reflections afterward. I plan to give this book to my friends and associates to inspire them to try harder and to live better.

Another book of truths

I just finished reading Fragments of Reality and realized I had dog-eared almost every page for future reference! Thank you for this contribution to the greater good !

Taking a moment to touch base with life

Reviewed by Beverly Pechin for Reader Views (6/06) "Fragments of Reality" is a deep book of fragmented thoughts, random memories, and moments of questions racing through this philosophical mix and match prose. Poetry and essays grace the pages to make the reader stop and consider so many issues of life, some often not even an average thought of a typical mind, yet the author still somehow makes you stop and think about them. Far from your average book, "Fragments of Reality" brings you to the depths of the author's soul and makes you reach into the depths of your own. Poems of love, beauty, grace and sadness are amongst essays that speak of the meaning of life and the simple idea of being. Simplicity often overcomes complex issues, making the reader understand with few written words but so intense you must stop to ponder. This book would be a wonderful gift to that deep thinker in your life. Perhaps a graduation gift to someone special who may want to begin their journey in life with a deep, meaningful start. Simply not your average book, it's a deep, philosophical journey that takes you on a trip you will always remember. I guarantee you will walk away with thoughts deeper than you ever have reached before.

Mind opening experience

Before reading Peter Cajander's book Fragments of Reality I was living my life in a fastforward mode - without stopping to look around and enjoy the beautiful moments. Fragments of Reality opened my mind for all the minor subtleties in life. Now I realise that in order be truly happy with my life I must focus all my energy in the moments of NOW - not in the past nor the future. Fragments of Reality reveals the puzzling pieces of life and makes you question everything you've learned so far. A must reading for everyone who feels there's something more in this life but haven't got the answer what it is.
