The narrator, Alexander Collins, does an amazing job with the voice work on this book. We get not only distinct voices for each character, but there are subtle changes as they age over the course of the story. Pacing and style are some of the best, as those who have heard Collins’ narrations before have come to expect. Voices are strong and the interplay between them is a lovely thing to hear when handled by someone who obviously takes his voice work seriously. It adds a new layer to the story told by Cardeno C. We are treated to some top notch narration.
A very strong message is conveyed in this one - treasure the life that has been granted to you. In Another Life is a story that enlightens how precious human life can be. It's a gift, and losing that gift just because of one depressing phase in it would only mean that you are losing on so many happy moments that you could have experienced. ... Read it for the magic of Cardeno C's fantastic writing. It grips you till the end. I, for one, was impressed by author's creativity with this book. The execution of that unique idea was perfect. The jumps from the real life to dream life and back weren't weird at all. It all flowed in a perfectly sensible manner. ... In Another Life is a food for thought. We ought to have those every now and then. So thank you Cardeno C. for writing such a masterpiece. this story will never be forgotten.
I must say though that when reading this light, short read, it had a dreamy quality to it. I cannot really put the right words on text, but it was like I was participating in the events that unfolded in a quality very dreamlike and quite blurry. It felt so good and in spite of the sensitive topic involved, it left me with a feeling of such great HOPE. Something which could only be felt during hopeful holidays like Christmas....There was something magical about this story that speaks of love, commitment, hope and faith. Yes, this is a very short and light read but it was bigger than the quantity of the text. It made me think deeper and it reached out to something deeper inside me (and hopefully other readers). It teared up quite a bit but as the story was not sad, it was good tears. Hopeful tears. It was a beautiful.
Warm, sensual, sweet and hot. Reg is a perfect guy. Maybe he's too perfect, but with Jeremy as his other half, he has to be. Jeremy is a spoiled brat, has tantrums and no idea how the real world works. But he doesn't know any better. When Reg points out his flaws, he genuinely tries to better himself. I liked how Reg's POV was written. He is funny and such a good person, his thoughts cracked me up sometimes. Jeremy broke my heart sometimes. He's insecure and lonely, even if he doesn't even know it. His life hasn't been his own until Reg takes over some of the control. It gives Jeremy the time to calm down and get a handle of his own life. It's so great to read how their relationship grows without Jeremy realizing it. ... Believe me, you want to read this story.
This may have been a short story, but the intricate plot line and incredible characters made it seem longer. ... Shiloh, like many young adults, didn't fit but instead of the typical plot of showing that the world would be different without him there, it took a completely different twist that the reader would never expect. The relationship between Shiloh and Travis was inspiring as it unfolded in the most unexpected way. Anything more would ruin the surprise and I for one loved this story, having already read it many times!
