This is one that is right up my alley. I seem to have this utter fascination with the working of the mind even if it is a fantasy realm or in reality. I am very interested in the fact she a good girl or is she a bad one? Then put in the pretense of seduction, and mind control, I am making this a number one priority to read. I can not wait to start it tonight. Happy reading to all.

The book, All in the Head by Jean Francois Rogeon shows a better understandings of the human mind, how they are able to shape human nature, the first character in the book, Elise, she can manipulate people as if she can tap into the person's mind, and change the way they think or what they would do, due to the pyshic powers, she do not know she had, she began to wonder how could she bend a person's mind to the way she wanted it to be thinking.
This book is a great reference for psychology, explaining how the minds would work due to experiences and incidences.

Today, with climate change effects, I think Baru community would be a society to look up to. The discovery of my real being and the guest to protect the environment are the primary reasons that I must read this book.

Elise sounds like a well-written and interesting character. Based on your review, this books seems to be a wonderful and exciting read. The unraveling of psyche and the mind through fiction is surely an opportunity I don't want to miss. Thanks for this great review! :tiphat:

All IN A THE HEAD BY JEAN FRANCOIS ROGEON

The thesis of the story lies in the philosophy of living a countless lives believed mostly by Buddhist and Hindus. Have you ever felt the same way as our main character, Elise? The continuous search for something unknown, for something deeper without or with partial reluctance of unraveling the scenario is the most grievous and heretic things in life; following the fluctuations of emotions among your peers and all the people that make up who you are is something hurtful without really knowing the real you.

Elise is one of those persons but with psychic ability able to decipher arcane ideas from the most lucid pretext of current happenings delve in the layer of minds among Greg, Xiao Yu, Zaidi and others; that solves the dilemma of our supporting characters by interdependent relationship with Elise.

The description is very vivid. You can really feel the throbbing of each horizons and the culture it portrays in the way the author describe. It appears to me that it is really something, beautiful indeed. Yet, in the course of my reading, the story seems lifeless although each account of the attributes to the psyche of Elise and the people she wished to understand the author isolates the essence of the whole charade of story appealing to me as lifeless.

I want a story which shows the story. Readers might fall to the illustrious description keeping you aboard but behind it as a facade is a dull bonds to the conglomerated accounts of travel.

The pace of the story is fast-changing one that does not promote the welfare of the whole story. The fast-changing pace creates a loophole in what may seems a more hooking introduction.

I also found typo errors for about 2% of the whole text. So I vote 3/4 to this story.

Looking at the cover of this book, I probably would have passed it over, but the review made it sound more interesting than I had originally assumed. I am a firm believer in past-lives, and I am interested to read a story centered on this concept.

All in the Head by Jean Francois Rogeon is a novel which introduces different era and different lives. We get to know about that era and how lives were at that time. That part increased my interest. I definitely want to give a chance to read it.

I like the adventures she finds. Sam is a character I would like to read about too. I would read this book. The reviewer did a good job of describing the book and all.

I honestly can't wait to read this book. From the way it has been articulated in this well written review, I'm anxious to meet this charming and bewitching Elise, and get to see how her mind works, as well as her spell. This is truly going to be an adventure!!

Today's BOTD sounds quite complex. Whew! Not sure if it's the book for me, but time will tell! I enjoy books that allow me to learn about cultures other than my own and travel the world with the characters by my side. Thank you for the review, and congrats to the author. I've downloaded my free copy. :-)

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting psychological thriller/adventure story. The main character, Elise, is well developed and the plot draws the reader in to continue on. Well done.

Thanks for the review -- I learned a lot regarding this book. I'll have to pass on it. I think Elise will be a lot to deal with as a character and I'm not sure I want to go down that route any time soon!

All in the Head by Jean Francois Rogeon is a #Psychological  #Adventure tale revolving around Elise, an Australian protagonist with psychic powers which enable her to manipulate others. The topic includes #Travel, #Cultures, and #Psyche.

A character you love and hate in equal measure is quiet intriguing. Thanks for the review.
