I agree, a good book can have an influence on readers. This sounds like an interesting fictional book that leaves the reader with questions to think about. I'm pleased to hear that the story has some good level of suspense. I will read the book. Cheers.

Eclipse is a fictional novel that approaches science fiction and describes humans as numbers to determine their identity. The question is, can one person define or control human history?
An interesting and interesting book in general, especially for those who love fairy tales.
Greetings to the author and references.

Thank you JKO for the review.  When reading the free sample of this book and became aware of the luna and the reaper characters, along with the mentioning of reincarnation, I knew this was a book I would not read due to my Christian beliefs.

It's actually a breathe taking book. The skills and the jargon of the author are useful in making the book interesting. This is all achieved through the first person narration.

I like the book's premise; it's creative and unique. The concept of using numbers in place of names sounds fascinating. I wonder if the numbers are selected randomly or if it's by birth order.

A dystopian novel, not on a human level, but on a supernatural plane. I was fully hooked when one of the reviews compared it to "Sixth Sense." Now, with the comparison to "1984" and "Brave New World" I find that it's a must read. Thank you for the excellent review!

The story of the lunas is very interesting and makes a compelling plot. I just read the sample text on Amazon and in that short time, I started to care about Six and Eighty-Nine. The idea that there are lunas and reapers that preside over death is very interesting. Great Review!

This sounds like a great fantasy book. Marking people with numbers can make their tally more accurate. Nice review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The storyline seems interesting and intriguing. I wonder what numbers Six and Eighty-nine has to do with human beings and relationship. I think it might make an interesting read. Great work.

This book sounds really interesting. I am very curious to find out what happened to Six, and if it will change Eighty-nine's view of things. I am not normally a fan of this genre, but it sounds like the characters are well-devloped and the storyline sounds promising. Thank you for your delightful review.
