Reincarnation Blues

I expected this book to be fun – and it was, but I also found it to be a very robust and deep novel. Overall, it reads more like interlocking short stories with the connecting theme being the main character and the ideas of what it means to seek redemption and how to be one's best self.

I really enjoyed the premise and the writing of this book. The storytelling and creativity is completely stimulating and captivating. I may not have been in the mood for a varying-setting-timeline-story and wanted to have a more hardlined story.

I love this so much. I was surprised, actually, by how tender it was. A cross between Christopher Moore and Douglas Adams, I think, and tackling the tough topic of reaching “human perfection.” So, so good.

Entertaining and thought provoking. Had to knock a star because at times it definitely felt like “Eastern Philosophy / Reincarnation for white people” at times. But overall highly enjoyable.

Very Gaiman like. Fun and easy writing style in a good voice. I enjoyed how at the end, achieving perfection was less about being flawless, and more about being adaptable.
