I like that there are obviously strong themes such as friendship and loyalty in this book. I enjoy novels that present mysteries and paranormal fiction and this seems catchy already.

I don't read much paranormal fiction, but I'm excited to check out Triplow's story.

'Official Review: Kaleidoscopic Shades: Within Black Eternity' by David A. Neuman well analyses the action thriller story of the book for readers. It takes a thorough and useful look into the paranormal fiction for omnivorous readers. The point that the story takes us into a world where times could be manipulated, and a whole nation can disappear without a trace is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that love was portrayed beautifully in the book, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the reviewer learned some new words from this book!

Kaleidoscopic Shades: Within Black Eternity by David A. Neuman sounds like a really intricate and interesting book. I like the layers of parallel universe indicated but would like to have fully developed characters that help to move the story along. The review mentions learning a lot of words within the story and I do like rich and well-used vocabulary. Thank you.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to know of Bob will be able to stop the mystery of the disappearance of people in a place he thought he could find peace after leaving Adelaide. I like paranormal stories and this one is right up my alley.

A thrilling paranormal fiction that explores time manipulation and a family's quest to save their loved ones. Though a bit bulky, it's a treat for lovers of paranormal and fiction. Brace yourself for an adventure into the unknown. Congratulations on being BOTD!

From what I’ve read of the sample I think it’s a very intriguing concept and it’s definitely the kind of book I’d read.
On the downside, I’ve read a LOT of sci-fi/fantasy and one thing that really bothers me is when authors try to explain real science wrong when it’s fictional and they don’t even need to explain. There are 2 kinds of world builders: the first tells you how the world is and may or may not throw in a little bit of true scientific explanation but the bottom line is you accept their world because that’s how it works. The second kind, which is the kind who wrote this book, tries to explain the science parts as much as possible with actual science known and theorized when written. Except it was badly done with the time windows. First a window in time wouldn’t necessarily correspond to space, so the Earth oribiting would mean it’s more likely to open into space than ANYWHERE on Earth. Second, if you’re going to explain, why aren’t you explaining why you’re sure they’re opening into other dimensions and not just different times and places? It’s really upsetting to have science explained wrong, then either over or under explained if you’re going to be treating it like science fact. It’s better to just build your world like what you’re writing is just how it works or do your research.

But the mass dreaming and messing with the parents heads is pretty cool

The title Kaleidoscopic Shades and the book cover do justice to this paranormal book and the plot seems intriguing.

I liked this very insightful review. I finished sampling this book just as the episode with Ruby Jenkins ended, and I did not feel like reading on because the sample felt too macabre, and I did not enjoy the meet-and-greet with the ninety-one-year-old demented Ruby in the toilet. But I hope that this book will find its audience who will enjoy it. :)

This seems like a unique piece of work. But I'm on the fence about reading the book as the story isn't arranged accordingly. But the plot is intriguing for anyone who wouldn't mind that issue of plot arrangement. Congrats on BOTD!

I think some aspects of the book sound interesting, such as the disappearances and also the dark man. However, I may struggle with the lack of character development, and if it's too long it could get a bit confusing. Thanks so much for your review!

Disappearing people and vanishing nations must be scary. I like mysteries a la "Twilight Zone," so I will give this one a try. The cover and title aptly portray the "confusion" in Bob's life. Will he be able to tame his demons for good?

I am fascinated by the reason why some children in Corona started dreaming about a man dressed in black clothes.
I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!
