Book Recommendation: Reincarnation Blues

[420]

The cover is in Turkish translation because I read Turkish translation.

If:

• If you want to reflect on the meaning of life.
• If you want to read a reincarnation story written from a different perspective.
• If you want to have new experiences by taking on a different identity in each lifetime.
• If you want to question your own existence and the meaning of death.
• If you like science fiction and fantasy stories.
• If you want to read an original work that combines different genres...
• If you are looking for a fun and gripping novel:

This book is for you.

Its a recommendation, no spoilers.

The book starts on the day our character Milo is eaten by a shark. It is not an unusual situation for Milo. Milo had died almost ten thousand times, in almost every way. He's been thrown from a catapult, in a world war, in a car crash, in a spaceship crash...
Thousands of years later, thousands of years ago. It tells the story of Milo, who reincarnated ten thousand times to reach eternal life. In each of his lives, he overcomes all sorts of challenges and we, the readers, get to know different worlds; from ancient India to outer space, from Renaissance Italy to the present day, it takes us on a journey through time, space and the human heart. Like dozens of different books within the same book, it was very good.
Milo living a thousand and one different lives...

This book was one of the most remarkable books I've read. It tells a story about Milo, who has been born tens of thousands of times in order to reach perfection, and his choice between perfection and love, and the person he falls in love with is “death” himself (in the flesh, he prefers to be called Suzie).
It is hard not to admire the author's imagination. The narration style was also very entertaining. It is a novel that everyone who likes different and unusual stories will enjoy reading, it takes you to another dimension; it also contains philosophical questions, after reading it, your perspective on the world and life may change.

It may sound too pessimistic, but its not. As I said, it has a fun narrative style; it uses humor even when dealing with serious topics such as the meaning of life and love, and this is refreshing and enjoyable for some readers. You shouldn't have any problems in this respect.

I bought it from D&R, which is a bookstore in Turkey. You can easily get it from any bookstore or online. If im not mistaken, there were rumors that there will be a movie adaptation of the book, so dont be late to read it.
