It sounds like this book takes you on quite a trip. A woman who can enter others thoughts is a fun premise. Thanks for the review.

A fascinating series of adventures loaded with the psychological thrill and travel to six continents in different eras is nicely portrayed in this book "All in the Head" by Jean Francois Rogeon. The story focuses on Elise, an Australian having psychic powers to enter the mind of the person before her peep into inner thoughts, and manipulate that person as per her wish.

I really enjoyed the dedication of the book that you mentioned in the last part of your review; it gives insight as to the type of readers that this book is designed for and I must say it really appeals to me. I don't give much thought or credibility to past lives and reincarnation, but that aside, this sounds like a very interesting book. Many thanks for the review.

Unfortunately, this book's subject matter is way too far out of sphere of my interests. But it does sound as something worth reading for those interested in exploring past lives.

Great review. This book seems really interesting. Elise has completely caught my attention and I can’t wait to read about her adventures in all these different areas.

Thanks for the review, but between reincarnation (which I do not believe in), six continents, and different eras, this book seems way too busy for me.

That's interesting. It reminds me of the concept behind Cloud Atlas but it seems to be more psychological/cerebral. The whole idea of past lives across continents is really interesting, and that they're all connected by the impact they have on those who follow? It's something I would love to look into.

You also mentioned that the author handled the cultural differences of the places he's writing about with sensitivity. That's good, because there's always the danger of the opposite. It's reassuring to know that that does not happen here, and it makes me look forward to reading this more.

Another frustrating inappropriate rating on a book. If the text is not 100% perfect it should not be rated as such. Also after reading this review I have no idea what kind of book this is meant to be. Is it fantasy, is it self help, I still don’t know.

This book has an interesting concept. I haven't read anything that involves past lives/reincarnation. Looks like something I would enjoy, thanks for the review!

I don't think I would have picked this up based on the cover alone, but after your review, I will definitely be reading it. Thanks!

Wow. I think your review might perhaps be better than the book itself! I picked up the book for Kindle, but had decided to save it for some point to read in the future. Instead, your review has convinced me to give it a shot much sooner than I would have originally. Your descriptions of the adventures that happen and the intriguing idea of past lives, has set me over the edge to really dive into this story! Thank you for such a wonderful review (I think I can definitely take a few pointers from you on how to write such great reviews).

This book (first chapter) tells the story of a young lady who has psychic abilities, that allow her to control anyone with her mind. The book is well written, with good descriptions of Elise and the events of her early life. Congrats on #BOTD!

The book sounds like an engaging read. The reviewer obviously enjoyed it, so I bet it'll be worth the read, especially for that favor its genre. Congrats to the author for winning BOTD.
