Thoroughly
refreshing and utterly original A thorouhly refreshing book, utterly original, engrossing and written in an enjoyable, easy style. Friendship, courage and trust, dreams, magic and humour play a big part in this novel. It also offers food for thought, because even though it is fiction, it has been written in such a way some things might actually happen in real life. In that sense I can imagine the readers of the Dream Journal might be fascinated by the promise this book holds. 
Monique Thijssen in the Dream Journal The Dream Journal is the quarterly magazine of the Dutch Association for the Study of Dreams Smoothly written and thrilling Rom, a half-blood Tzanatzi is persuaded by Yldich to accompany him to his house in the north of the country. Yldich is an Einache and an important shaman for his people. Dark dangers are increasing in the land of the Einache that have their origins in the war between Einache and Tzanatzi 500 years ago. Yldich is convinced he needs Rom to avert the imminent menace because Rom can relive episodes from that time. Rom and Yldich's journey is fraught with many hazards: a cruel noble with a grudge against Rom, and spirits from the past that are having an increasing effect on the present. Circumstance pulls Rom into a state of dreamwalking more and more often, which makes past and present come together and eventually collide in the climax of the story. The book has been published with a large type page, small print and thin pages. Because it is smoothly written and thrilling, the voluminous story is nonetheless an easy read. The author (1969) is specialised in dreamwork and past life therapy. Paperback with a colour print of an ancient tree on the cover. (NBD|Biblion review, B. de Leeuw) 
Ready to be turned into a movie! As promised (at the book signing in Delft at Blizz) a reaction from me on your lovely book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You get drawn into the story immediately. So I had only one goal: to read until the end as quickly as I could. This book is ready to be turned into a movie. I really mean that! Of course I will want to get a part LOL. I'm really looking forward to The Search for Tzanáta! Sandra van der List |
A
tale of healing I think it's a beautiful story: the storylines, the characters, and above all how the story is carried by deep spiritual understanding. The workings of karma, love, compassion...it’s a tale of healing. There is so much warmth and wisdom in the book! Roms journey through the Underworld truly is a brilliant combination of humor and spiritual depth.’ Pamela Kribbe The Jeshua Channelings 
Spiritual depth ‘I thought it was a very beautiful, and an exciting read. One of those stories that keeps you reading. I have read a lot of fantasy novels, and the thing that lifts it up above many others I have read is the spiritual depth. I especially like the way you handle the theme of the nature of evil. Step by step everything becomes clear. What I also like is the way the story logically arises from the characters and their inner issues. As if you have put the characters together and let everything happen: inner tensions evoke outer conflicts that in turn, lead to inner developments. That makes the story very natural, everything has its place.’ Gerrit Gielen Mystical Journey The
title of this mystical novel is: ‘a spiritual adventure’. My
reaction is, that it is much more than that. This book teaches that there are three types of dreams: ‘lágea’, ordinary dreams; énthemae, true dreams in which you may catch a glimpse of that which is hidden, and ayúrdimae, true dreamwalking. In such a dreamwalk one might gain access to other worlds and experience them from within, so the higher perspective might help alter one's vision of life and the world. This book is such a dreamwalk and reading it, I have experienced, indeed offers new perspective. Congratulations
on this wonderful book.

 The power of Love I was totally immersed in the story; I'm still experiencing the atmosphere of the book as in a trance. I think it is a very beautiful and special book! Immensely exciting and loving. I just hope it won't ever be turned into a movie; it would be too bloody and filled with fighting ...that's my underworld.... While reading the parts with the fighting ...yes it has its place, I know, I was engrossed and could feel the power of Love even better. Really an immensely beautiful and impressive book! While reading it was almost as if I went deeper into the world of dreamwalking myself. I hope your book is a great success! I see you're already working on a sequel... Christine Cohen Beatifully written, a thrilling story with humour and a deep spitirual background. An engrossing tale you will want to keep reading. Elly Houtkamp (op: bol.com) Huge eye-opener
I think it's a wonderful
story. The thing that really speaks to me is the view in the book that
there is no 'good' or 'evil', but that both have their place. So
instead of fighting 'evil', the important thing is to understand it,
which is when you see that 'evil' doesn't really exist. For me
personally this was a huge eye opener and the book has had a great
impact on me because of it.
Besides, I think the style is very nice, with lots of (British!) humour. The protagonists gain in depth as the story progresses, so you gradually get to understand them and the choices they make. In the beginning the detailed writing needed a little getting used to (what was the bunny wearing ;-), but after a few pages this faded away completely.
In short, I'm looking
out for the sequel!
