'Official Review: All in the Head by Jean Francois Rogeon' is a thorough and convincing description of the book. I was able to notice and reflect upon my point of interest (the extraordinary personality and nature of the female protagonist) in the review. The travel description is pacifying!

I love the thought of "past lives" or having lived "many lives" before. I also love the thought of travel and adventure. Sounds like this book could be right up my alley. Thanks!

All in the Head would appeal to those who love to dive into the depths of the human mind and psyche. I recommend it to those who want to satisfy their adventurous side by visiting various places and getting exposed to various traditions and different cultures.
I do enjoy reading these types of books. I downloaded my free copy and added it to my reading list. Thanks for the detailed and informative review. :)

Elise sounds like a very interesting, complex character. I’m intrigued, so I look forward to reading the sample.

I feel the book is a bit scary. Elise's ability to see things will definitely disturb me if i read this book. At least even with all the scary power she got, she still found love in person of Sam. Seems like a very interesting book though. Good review.

I have to say that I read the first couple of chapters of the book and was completely confused as to where the story was going to go. I could not put it down. The story veers in a direction that I would never have imagined and the imagery is beautiful. I did not connect with the main character, Elise, as she is somewhat despicable and out for her own interests. However, the threads that she unwinds are genuine and quite lovely. I can't wait to finish the book tonight.

A great in depth review that definitely piqued my interest in the book and made me highly interested. I'm glad the book was free so that I'm able to read it. It definitely seems interesting after reading this review and doesn't seem like it's boring or too deep that I will get bored reading it.

The author dissects the human psyche as she narrates the story of Elise. She has lived multiple lives and possesses supernatural abilities that enable her to enter the mind of others and manipulate them to follow her will.

I certainly don't believe in past lives but I do enjoy tales about delving into the mind and seductive mind control. I find myself at a crossroad! Perhaps, sampling the book will pitch me into one team. Thanks for the detailed review.

Elise is a very interesting character. She has the ability to enter a person's mind and push them to do what she wants. I like supernatural thrillers. This sounds like something I would enjoy. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review. Your description of the book made me very interested.

Quite an interesting story about Elise. Unfortunately, the story is too complex for me to dive into. I'll pass the book. Thank you for your thoughtful review.

I admit that upon reading the title, All In the Head I thought it would be a bit of a psychological thriller. It seems like an interesting idea that it is exploring the concept of past lives. Your review is very detailed and I think you have given me enough information to decide that I would find it a compelling read. I enjoy reading about rich, albeit flawed, characters as well as diverse cultures and geography. Thank you for the informative review!
