Thank you for a great insightful review Spirit Wandering. The main character diffently needs spiritual awakening, he does POOR work at his job, lives at home with his parents and goes out every night with the boys. I enjoyed the sample. Thanks Ramalho.

Although it sounds like the author successfully developed many elements of this story, the overall concepts don't appeal to me; I'm not one for reading about spiritual journeys. Glad you liked it though! Thanks for the insightful review.

This sounds like a well-written, philosophical novel which could teach people a lot about life, if that's what they're looking for. I usually look for a bit more action in my books so this probably isn't for me. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your review, your account of the main events was helpful as was your recounting of the theme. I don't particularly gravitate towards these types of books but now I think it may be of interest.

Sounds nice but it's not really my type of book so I'll pass. Glad you enjoyed it though, despite the lack of new, unique concepts. Thanks for the review.

Despite the awkward phrasing and run-on sentences the review mentions, I think I will give this book a try. It sounds unusual.

Post by Frenjie »

This book narrates a very inspiring story. One that we could draw a lot of life lessons from. It's one of those genres I'm interested with. I agree with you that fiction is an effective medium for delivering spiritual concepts. Thanks for the well-written review!

Thank you so much. You were very objective and brought the details of the book into full view. Whether the theme was unique or not depends on one's beliefs and choice. I believe in spirituality and also believe the spiritual controls the physical. I'm glad Baingana was able to get a new definition of life from the dream and waking up into reality with new ideas to help him in his fresh journey in life. I read the sample. Good book.

i'm not entirely sure if this is for me. Books about spiritual journeys are harder for me to connect with. I'll check it out at the library first though.

Seems like a good book of self-discovery. Baingana had three people who helped him. It would be interesting how they taught her those life lessons. Thank you for your insightful review!

I would love to read Ramalho Almeida's Dancing with Sophia because of its theme of spirituality. I think the review is nicely written.

I fell in love with the book as I read through the samples. During the first few pages, I felt Baingana deserved what he got from his girlfriend and his boss. The book has plenty of great lessons to learn.
