Books Are Our Superpower: Marvelous New Review of THE LOOK
There are some books that just send your mind to a labyrinth. Once you begin contemplating the events, characters, or concepts presented, you know your life will never be the same. For me, some speculative fiction books or mystical stories have this effect on me. The ideas in these stories inspire me to write, to imagine beyond the earthly realm, and keep my brain working hard to stretch my current understandings of reality.
These “wonder tales,” as Margaret Atwood calls them, are my favorite kinds of books to read.
~from A Book That Offers Mind Yoga Is My Kind of Book
Samantha Lazar's review of THE LOOK is a celebration of the many ways a book can profoundly impact your life and state of mind. As she reflects on the novel, Lazar processes the reading experience in wise, deeply meaningful ways. I really hope you'll read her article and be moved by what she shared.
The LOOK of Amie Martine
It is hard for me to describe, but my mind loves this kind of yoga. Through Amie’s relationships with some very interesting characters, Laurie Perez tells her story in such a delicious way. It is so believable and fantastical at the same time, and it is hard to put down. However, I had such profound thoughts, I often reread parts to re-experience and meditate on the possibilities.~Samantha Lazar
