Review will be word-for-word as included in the Eric Arvin Greatest Hits review.~This one is a 4.5 for me. It would have been a 5, because I cried so many times, but it was really long, perhaps unnecessarily so, and there were a few incredulous moments that sort of spoiled it for me.This story was a...

WARNING: The review might be considered mildly spoilery, but I avoid mentioning specific facts, so it shouldn't really say much that you wouldn't discover yourself rather soon in the story. This novel takes place in a sort of afterlife. When the MC, Joe, arrives there, he has no recollections of h...

**update, additions**I upped this to 5 stars. Any book that lingers and wiggles its way into my brain like this one has gets 5 stars.Mr. Arvin has created a complete new Arvin-ism??? I lack the language, but he has created a vision, a place or non place??? It is complete. I can see it, the pictures ...

This is possibly the most beautiful book I've ever read. When I chose it I had no idea what it was about. I knew I wanted to read one of Eric Arvin's books (I hear of an author new to me and I want to check out their work) so I looked up what he'd written and was just drawn to the title - I love it....

To be perfectly honest, I think th...

2.5 starsDreamlike, surreal, vivid, whimsical, colorful...all words I would use to describe this after life the author created.

Joe undertakes a magical mystery tour of the afterlife recovering portions of his earthly memory as he progresses. This world closely resembles my own beliefs/hopes for an afterlife, just need a soul mate to share it with!'As Joe viewed the sea of multiples and unfamiliar faces before him, the idea ...

It was good. Deeply profound and very spiritual. And then it got a little sappy for my tastes, a little too sickly sweet...right around the time Guy was introduced, I think. Something like that. But still, a rather good read overall and completely different from what I expected based on the blurb.Th...
