This sounds similar to a book I recently read, which also had themes of the universe being out of own's control. The idea of reincarnation has always fascinated me. Even though there is obviously a lot going on, you described the plot well. Seems like a great read :D

The fact that, in this book, the narrator talks to the readers, or souljourners, as they are his reincarnations makes the novel more immersive and engaging. It is an interesting and unique concept. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

The review is detailed and the narrator tells us several stories and the dominant of him being in jail for the murder of his wife. He is also a reincarnation. I will definitely read this book

In my opinion, Souljourner by Paul Steven Stone presents a strange story in an even stranger way. The review is quite objectively written and presents this different point of view quite well. I was intrigued by the philosophical slant on the topics addressed in this book. I appreciated the opportunity to read perspectives different from my own to broaden my worldview.

I have to state it: I really, really like the cover art and the title of this novel. The combination of those two is surely eye-catching. I like the fact that one review stated how Souljourner is a "cult-classic in the making." Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

What an opportunity to try some unique way of narrating a crime fiction about a guy who murdered his wife.I want to give a try for this.

While the author has a creative and engaging style of writing, I think I will pass on this one as the subject matter is not of interest to me. Good job on the review!

I honestly that this was about a whale like moby-dick based on the cover but I was wrong, the review was pretty detailed and interesting, I wouldn’t mind actually reading it. Good job 👍

The writing is unique, I have never encountered a narration of this type. The author offers different life dispositions and it is your choice on what to take from the book. Thank you for the review.

Everything written about this book is fascinating. It begins with a quote from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, which states that we should see ourselves as a spiritual being on a human journey. Since energy never dies but merely changes form and our spirit is energy, it makes sense that our spirit goes on many journeys. Great review!
We do not simply live in this universe. The universe lives within us.
