I have to be clear on something about this book. I really enjoyed it, but you have to understand I love symbolism, interpretation of dreams, the belief in reincarnation. This book contains all that and so much more. It is NOT your usual m/m romance. Although there's plenty of that too.Great book, gr...

This is not a review, just a few words on how I feel about this story. For me it is quite simply - a piece of awesomeness from a master story teller. I had finished Eric Arvin's Subsurdity and decided to go straight into this one based on an ongoing and insistent recommendation from a friend. I ...

This was one of the most unusual mm books I have ever read. But do you know what. I loved it. This book had such a sweet, beautiful romance, that was about rediscovering it in the afterlife. Now I will admit this book will not be everybody's cup of tea, but I found myself in love with this book. Joe...

This is a hard book to review or even classify. It's beautifully written and the journey that Joe takes is at once heartbreaking and life affirming.

It wouldn't be heaven without you. Of course I'd wait...That is what his Lou told Joe as an answer to a question once...When Joe wakes up in a place he's never known, with no memories and alone, he sets out on a walk where he will learn that Lou's words were not far from the truth and that indeed he...

4.5 stars. Very good fantasy m/m story about a man who wakes up in the afterlife, with no memory of his prior life, and, with the help of a cryptic guide, begins a journey to recover his memories and make his peace with the significant people from his life.

I was thinking about this book the other day, and I realized how many people have not read this. This book is flat out amazing. Its not your standard m/m romance, but it is a love story. Its a love story about the main character's life and who and what has been a part of it. You never know what ...
