Seriously, am I the only one who read this book????
No, you're not. I read and reviewed at my site, Flying With Red Haircrow. I actually loved it and gave it 5 stars. My review:
“Mind Café” was a story I found while roaming through Smashwords, and found the description appealing. There were a couple of times when sentence structure in the narrative portions left me somewhat confused as to what was happening and when, but this story grabbed me from the very first sentence which was outstanding in its unspoken encouragement to have me read more.
Dialogue was naturally flowing and enjoyable. The descriptions were perfectly on time, just enough for you to visualize and build upon in your own mind, without slowing the pace. The story was one almost anyone could understand and find themselves empathizing with the main character, yet with special touches that made it personal. You were made to imagine yourself being in their position, wondering what you would do.
“Mind Café” shows a unique view of life, death and dying which I felt privileged to have seen from the author’s perspective. Don’t mistake it as a mere story of a life’s end, but how life can continue on as long as you are convinced you are alive.
I will admit that despite all the books, short stories and poetry I’ve read, several thousand, there are many I’ve liked or even loved, but there are a limited number which have personally touched my emotions in this way. Mind Café is truly outstanding writing, an unforgettable story and proof positive against those who believe self-published or “indie” titles are less worthy than those offered by traditional publishers."
Thank you so much for the acknowledgement!I don't know if you know this or not, but she is actually planning on re writing it, check out her site for the date because I can't think of it off hand.
Lizzy is really very talented and I don't think she will be "indie" much longer.

It has a great plot (per usual of Ford) but I wish there were more to it.
I would love to know what the accident was!
I think that it could be turned into a more involved storyline and be a great book.
I also think that her sister ended up marrying her boyfriend which is why he never came to see her or no pictures were shown.
Any thoughts???
