Such an engaging book, indeed! Thank you for the kind words.

I loved Elise's character. The story about previous lives and knowing oneself from their soul seems to be interesting. Thanks for the wonderful review.

A great review about an incredibly intriguing book. All In the Head is one of those page-turners that you just can’t put down. Elise is a very interesting character, the writing is descriptive, and the storyline is great. Thanks for the review!

Highly-recommended! Thank you for the kind comment.

cpru68 wrote: 08 Mar 2019, 09:46 This is quite unique that the author combines a supernatural type ability (psychic) with travel. That struck me as odd when I saw the description, but your review cleared up the muddy waters. It sounds like this book is layered with characters that affect other characters which would lend to the reincarnation aspect of it. I will look into this one further and see if it’s a fit. Thanks for this insightful review!
Thank you!

After reading your review it seems like this book has a lot of layers to it, leaving much to be discovered. You also mentioned, "He rather gives you the liberty to draw your own conclusions," which I think is nice with such complex subject matters woven into the storyline. Thanks for the intriguing review.

Elise's psychic powers are certainly interesting, but her travels seem much more exciting! Also, I like to think that our past lives influence what we are today. I added this book in my to-read list!

When I was younger, I often thought I had lived in different eras. I never knew which era. I have always believed in reincarnation. From your review, it seems that this book is very readable and that I might enjoy it. Thank you.

I am very picky when it comes to fiction, the storyline is an important factor that i concider if i am to invest my time reading a fiction novel.

This storyline unfortunately did not appeal to me.After reading your review i did not find the characters interesting and i do not see how Elise travelling to different continents and her having psychic powers is connected.

All this is from my perspective of course so i do not discourage anyone from reading this book.This review is also very informative,it gives you a brief understanding of what All in the Head is about.

Thanks for the review.

I love to read about different places and their culture. I'm not so sure if I like the main character as you depict her to be controlling. I'll give this book a try later. Thanks for your review!
