I don't mind the use of profanities but thanks for the heads up. What I am curious is "what is absurdist fiction"? I don't think I have ever read anything described as such. Good job wit the review. I will definitely read the sample and then decide about reading it.

John seems to be of an admirable personality. He wants to help the less privileged with his new discovery.
Your review is insanely beautiful, and so is the book.

This is an interesting story highlighting unbelievable experiences, changing one's life, and the power of faith and transformation. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an awesome OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @trocco on the BOTD selection.

I like the originality of the plot and the story. But I have never heard of this genre. I'm not sure if I would like it or not.

I have to say, this seems like my kind of book. From this review and the pages I sampled, I'll be adding this to my reading list. The concept sounds terrific and the character of John is just the type of person I want to read about - life-changer, visionary, and perhaps, just a wee bit looney. Thanks for a great review!

Okay, I intrigued. The character sounds interesting and this review makes me want to read this book because it sounds like books I've enjoyed in the past. Unusual plots that are entertaining and thought provoking.

Thank you for your informative review. I don’t think this genre is something I would enjoy, but I appreciate your enthusiasm and thoughtful, detailed review. I may give it a try after getting your perspective.

Who knows what it feels like to be enlightened! From your review, I can feel that the author has not presented his thoughts on the subject but merely presented a situation and has left it to the readers to decide it for themselves. I have never tried any absurdist genre before, but I guess I can give this one a try. Thanks for sharing. :)

I agree that this sounds like a truly unique book. A magical bed makes a very original setting for a spiritual awakening!

This books sounds unconventional. I like the fact that it touches on some deep ideas. However, absurdist fiction isn't really my preferred genre.
