I like the explanation of this review, but I am not a believer in karma or reincarnation. I don't like to read books of this kind. Thanks for the review.

Your review is awesome. For a crime story book, the cover of this book is very far from the reader's expectations. The author also tells the story in a different and unique style from most crime stories. This story is narrative style, and it is as if the author is the character of the story itself. Very unique and I became interested to read it.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting crime/thriller about a man serving time for the murder of his wife, but the narrator on how the event transpired. The man has a focus on the the "journey" that his soul has taken that lead to his present predicament. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Thank you for your very interesting review. From the sample, I did find the author's style of writing unique. Scary stories and reincarnation aren't subjects I usually choose, so I will pass on it. I believe that many others will find it very exciting though.

:shock: Hahahaha i became overwhelmed with the way the book has been narrated, it was eye catching and it brings a weird feeling when you come to question about influence of the dead to the living. Its good thing to learn a new realm of life. Great and marvelous write.

Since the main idea of this book is about reincarnation, I would have to skip this book. I won't find this book interesting or amusing as my beliefs are different. So, a big NO to this book. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

In Souljourner, the infusion of mythological ideas to explore a utopian world seems quite irrational.

The book seems to explore a different approach to owning up to the consequences of our actions. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

This book appears to have employed great degree of suspense for it to be so interesting. I shall check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

At the beginning looking at the book cover, i thought it was about Marines but later on the all idea changed to things like humans experiences, the incarnations and quite alot more, anyway this is really a very complex story to me.

:? This book seems to be totally different from the usual crime stories. The narrative seems to play a lot with the reader's mind, while offering an intriguing approach to spiritual and philosophical themes. However, this does not seem to be the book for me, so I will pass on this one. Thank you for this detailed review.

Soul journer serves the perpose it was written for, to show that we are spirits in control of our bodies. The book can encourage one to believe in the power of writing journals. Good review.

The author definitely has a unique delivery. This seems like an interesting book, but I found the writing style to be a bit too much work. Thank you for your engaging review and congrats on BOTD.

From the review, I feel the unique narration of the story has made me want to read the book. I really want to know what actually happened to David's wife. I love to read about reincarnations so I would definitely want to read this book. Thanks for the great review.
