Adrianna's review of Visions of Glory: One Man's Astonishing Account of the Last Days:
"
I was a little skeptical going into this book, as most previous near-death experiences I've read have not settled well with me. However, I quickly found that this man's experiences during his deaths (yes, more than one) and his many visions in-bet...

| 3.5 stars. Parts of this I loved, and other parts were just okay. Overall it was a good read...a very moody and gothic and downright creepy mystery in the vein of Rebecca, though this felt a little bit more Stephen King/Pet Cemetery-ish by the end. | |

“Nothing could be purged without a body—no crying, no exertion, no pills to take away the pain or calm me down. Nothing. Instead, something ballooned inside me until I felt like I might explode. All I could do was sit there and drown in it, wondering why Claire affected me so much, wondering if she always would.”

“You know, there are good reasons to learn how to read. Poetry isn't one of them. I mean, so what if two roads go two ways in a wood? So what? Who cares if it made all that big a difference? What difference? And why should I have to guess what the difference is? Isn't that what he's supposed to say?
Why can't poets just say what they want to say and then shut up?”

Thank you Lani! It's getting exciting. I'm anxious to read Indelible, too!

Thanks Jillian! Waiting for a debut release is eerily similar to being pregnant for 9months - except this is more like a 12-month baby. I'm hoping to get some ARCs before the end of the summer. Keep the great posts coming - we all benefit from "thinking" a little more deeply and a little more carefully.
Hi, Courtney! I'm so glad you like the posts on the Book Lantern; it always intrigues me when I hear thoughts from authors about the blog because it's rather a different beast than other YA book blogs out there. Thank you for the kind words. Focusing on important issues in YA is one of our main goals, so I'm glad that resonated with you. I hope you continue to like what you read at the Lantern!-Jillian
P.S. Lest I forget, congratulations with your book! I bet you're clamoring for October to come around so that it will be released out into the world. :)
