Your review was sooo good! Your explanations and attention to detail made me realize this book is so much deeper than what I thought it would be! I like to read books that are inspirational. This one goes way beyond the basic "reach for your dreams" inspiration. The author did a good job writing about finding yourself and realizing your purpose in our big and complex world by introducing us to a creative mix of characters on a soul searching adventure! Thank you, again for your review! I'm looking forward to your next! :-)

Sounds like an intricate book. I enjoy casually reading so this sound more like the kind of book where I would really need to dedicate time and focus into reading it. But I did enjoy the Alchemist, so maybe I could give this one a try.

Great review. I read a sample and found it intriguing. I have a lot of books I'm trying to read but I'm going to put it on my to read shelf.

I cannot wait to read A Gathering of warriors by George Vigileos as it looks like a decent ancient journey. The review is in-depth with no spoiler. I anticipate about a week, and I will be reading it.

I like the fact the symbolism has been used in this book. Personally, I feel there is a huge connect between symbolism and spirituality, so I look forward to the kind of symbolism that the author has used apart from the circle.

I really like the idea of the story coming to a full circle. This sounds like a very complex book to read (and I'm sure, to write). It might take some concentration, but that will possibly enrich the experience and increase the potential power. Thanks for taking the time to reveal the complexities here.

The review of the book is very intruiging. It'll be nice to have a famous book diving in to racial diversity in characters as most don't. If the symbolism is heavy, readers might find it hard to understand but as long as it is explained that's alright. I like how it also tackles real world problems in a mystical realm as it allows readers to understand what may be or have been going on around us without our knowledge. Overall this book seems very interesting and would be a fun read. Anyone fantasy book fan would love this especially the spiritual ones who truly understand symbolisms.

A Gathering of warriors by George Vigileos I believe is a story for only certain people. I am not really into the spiritual kind of stories. Some of it was entertaining, but I found that I struggled to follow along with the journey it was taking you. When I finished reading it I really did not understand what I read. Other than that I think it was written rather well.

Very good review! That's too bad about the editing. This sounds like a good and interesting read. I like the idea of a circular plot. Can't wait to get started!

Beautifully and imaginary explains the characters by the writer
Every scene creat imagination .and accurately relates the
Characters with atmosphere. It seems a good story .
However there is a little bit confusion in it. But as story goes on
It dissolves ..and reader feels him self being a part of its
Characters.
