Your review is excellent! I'm not sure I would like the book personally but your review definitely gave all the right info to make an informed decision. The description on Amazon revealed absolutely nothing to me on what this book is about.

This was a very thorough and interesting review. I read a sample of this book but your review ales it sound more interesting. Traveling to different countries sounds interesting and Elise sounds like a complex and intriguing character

Psych power and romance, all in one twisted plot in "All in the Head" by Jean Francois Rogeon? Yes to that! I think this story will be interesting as much as I have imagined.

Thank you for the wonderful review.

This is a psychological thriller on adventure, different cultures and unravelling the human mind. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats @FrancoisRogeon for the BOTD.

Maybe not my cup of tea, but it sounds like an interesting story. Very cool that the main character gets to explore so many different cultures.

A travel-fantasy! I'm a pathological traveler, therefore, I can't wait to read this book about Elise's travels through different countries and peoples' minds!

Professionally edited? I don't think so! I read the first paragraph of the sample and found several errors so I stopped reading.

I like the different settings that each story takes place in. It felt like I was traveling the world with Elise.

I have read the sample offered by Amazon and the official review but I just don't think this is the book for me. I am not interested in this subject matter but I do appreciate the thoroughness of this review.

I liked this review very much. Loved the mention of Sindbad travels! The book seems to be a good one, too. Diverse geography, countries, cultures, and traditions appeal to me. Might check this one out... :)

This sounds like a fascinating read. I am intrigued by Elise's psychic powers as well as the author's vivid descriptions of various geography and cultures. Thank you for an excellent review!

Post by ObsessedBookNerd »

Based on the review I'm not sure if this is something that I would enjoy reading. I like the adventure and how the reader learns about different cultures/traditions. I also like that the author incorporated different eras into the story. The psychological aspects of the book turn me away from reading.

This is quite unique that the author combines a supernatural type ability (psychic) with travel. That struck me as odd when I saw the description, but your review cleared up the muddy waters. It sounds like this book is layered with characters that affect other characters which would lend to the reincarnation aspect of it. I will look into this one further and see if it’s a fit. Thanks for this insightful review!

This psychological book is intriguing because it also follows a strong and fascinating plot. I want to read more about it.

Though I generally love a good psychological investigation, I don’t find myself drawn to this book. The various settings and idea of past lives is interesting, I think I just have too many books on my list. But it sounds engaging and unique. Congrats on botd!
