Thanks for a great review! I love reading about spiritual journeys if they’re done well and have something unique to offer. Sounds like this one is a little on the fence.

I'm glad that you liked the book overall, despite the few awkwardly worded sentences.

I like to read this book. Running away from your problems is one thing , but if you are the problem then it is quite another story. The story inside the story as the character faces himself sounds amazing and sounds very interesting. I think I can learn something here.

As first - thank you for your effort in writting the review. You made me try to find The book and read it as you make it sounds like the Christmas fairytale.

It's too bad about the run on sentences and such otherwise it sounded like a good book. Thanks for sharing

Thank for the well-written review. This sounds like a book for a reader interested in a character-driven story on a journey to spirituality. The issues with some of the passages makes me hesitate to read this book, however.

The story started well. But the part where Abner makes Baingana read a poem was a little off for me. Nevertheless, I applaud the author's attempt to creatively put across spiritual lessons.

Thanks, Spirit Wandering, for your insightful review! You know what? We are all wandering spirits!
The rhyming in the poems wasn't my favorite part of the book. I agree we are all wandering spirits and it is my hope that more of us would recognize the truth of that. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I think it depends on whether you are already familiar with such material. Thanks for your reply.
