We all could learn from each other if we only take the time to, indeed. For one, love entails devotion that could tip to the point of seeming fixation for others. You've made the piece seem so vividly descriptive, informative, and insightful as could be. Thank you for your thorough review.

I read the review of the book ALL IN THE HEAD BY JEAN FRANCOIS ROGEON. This story looks like a battle of conscious, subconscious and conscience. All the story is based upon the bitter reality. good review, carry on.

This sounds like a heady story. I hope I get to travel to those places (too bad she missed Antarctica!) and times with Elise soon.

A psychological adventure tale revolving around an Australian protagonist with psychic powers sounds intriguing. Her powers enable her to manipulate others. A bit scary! Well-portrayed characters, engaging read, and diverse geography make this a good read for fans of the genre. Thank you for the review!

Complex minds and the adventures around them is among my favourite topics. The way you describe this book doesn't just seem like one simple adventure but also an interesting story. I would want to see - read - how Elise's character develops along the way and what we find out about the essence of our personalities. Sold.

Elise has lived many exciting lives in different places. And through them all, Sam was with her. That's what "forever" looks like, if you ask me. The title is a puzzler, though. Were the past lives real, or all in the head?

One has to read the book to know for sure! :D Even in real life, the fine line between the two often overlaps. Thanks for your comment.

Did it occur to you that you might have lived several previous lives that were engrained in your subconscious and formed who you are today? How many strata do you have to shed off your soul to get to the core of your true essence?


I have pondered these questions and read some books about past lives. It's interesting to see the approach from one specific character, and one that seems to be quite multifaceted and flawed such as Elise. I think I'll also enjoy learning about different cultures and time periods.
Amazing, insightful and enthusiastic review. Thank you!
