Not all of them are about reincarnation, although most are. I am sure some of the stories would intrigue you. Thanks a lot gayscott.

You are in the right place. Despite the rebirth theme of the book, there are other aspects in it which are very interesting.

I only read books that have more than one story to my children and that's one story out of the book for that night the next is for the next night and they go to bed talking about the story. May the author was trying to appeal to teens that might read a story before going to bed with the idea that they would think about it and get a peaceful sleep. You said in your review that may people that practiced cultism might want to read this does this book have killings or blood in it is rated.

It does not have bloody killings but it is cultic in a way. I agree that the stories would be appealing to children if the reincarnation aspect is okay with them. The good thing about the book is that the stories are full of lessons. Thanks a lot for your quality comments.

Thanks for the review. I like books that contain short stories but this one seems to have some issues that needs to be worked on. I don't enjoy reading books that are hard to understand.

I agree, it's frustrating when one has to read a book they do not understand. I commend Nemo for taking advice and making the necessary corrections to the book. Thanks a lot for passing by.

Thanks for the review. Although it does sound interesting, I'm not sure it I want to spend my time reading material that is possibly confusing and hard to understand at times. My life is confusing enough.

What a great review. I need to check this out for stories for my students. I am always looking for new stories with "morals" to use in class. Thank you for the specificity of your review.

Great review! I hope the author makes the necessary changes to improve this book because it sounds like a pretty interesting read. However, I have to admit the long sentences scare me a bit, 105 words is way too much for me! I'll definitely consider reading it, though. Thanks.

In spite of that this review was well written.

I think it too. Since the title was The Tales on the sand. Like one thousand one night tales.

Short stories with mystical fantasy is quite intriguing. I like 'The Golden Giant' story. Fear cripples our judgement but courage exposes our enemy's weaknesses is absolutely true in reality. I also like how you've broken down some of the shortcoming of the book and still found it interesting and impactful. It's a great read with spiritualism and cultism.
