by Judy W. (Tucker, GA) Until the Next Time by Kevin Fox
My expectations for Kevin Fox's book were high; unfortunately, this book did not capture by interest. The first half of the book is somewhat engaging; then, the author begins to ramble into a mix of politics, romance, spirituality and violence. The book is termed suspense, but the theme drifts into reincarnation and mysticism. Too many characters were introduced who are not particularly reflective of the Irish people. Although some readers may enjoy this book, I found it to be a disappointment.

by Betty B. (Irving, TX) Until the Next Time
After reading about a third of Next Time, I was so lost I returned to the beginning and read with a pen in hand. I made notes of all the various relationships and that did help me follow the story in both time periods. This book has all the elements that I usually like. I just had difficulty connecting it all. Had it been told more straight-forwardly, I would have enjoyed it more.

by Sarah B. (Streamwood, IL) Not what was expected
I was looking forward to something akin to the Time Travelers Wife. This wasn't it. It took me a long time to get into this, and when I did I got confused with characters, and the accents. I felt it had promise that it just didn't live up to.

by David S. (San Diego, CA) Too Much Slang
An intriguing story line linking the history and troubles of the Irish people with reincarnation -- kept my interest but was also a frustrating read given the overuse of Irish slang that stilted the flow of the book and degraded the intelligence and wisdom of the Irish people.

by Jan B. (Tetonia, ID) Reincarnation, Irish Style
This is an unusual storyline. It is a love story that takes place during "the troubles" of the 60's-70's. Yet it also spans through several lifetimes for many of the characters, as they recognize each other from past lives. I laughed, I was horrified, and I was mad at the American protagonists for their inflexible intellect. The idea of reincarnation as a given for this Irish crowd created a very interesting twist as the author used the past events as a way of looking at the present and the friendships and interactions between the different characters. The story was pretty compelling, and what stands out for me is how much was done for the love of each other and for their country. There were so many twists and turns in the action in both the present and the past, I had to keep reading to keep it all together in my head. It left me really hoping that the two main characters would find each other in this lifetime.

by Valerie C. (Chico, CA) a little slow moving
This book is a bit confusing, both by similarities in names, and in the time difference in chapters. It is also a bit slow moving. It may be perfect for someone with a strong interest in Ireland and its "troubles".
