"I found it impossible to take my eyes off of Monica Vitti and her hair! Existentialism and bourgeois complacency aside, one of the real features is that thick blonde hair."

A complete game changer upon it's 1999 release, the beauty about this thick slice of action is that it can be watched on a superficial level as a brilliant Sci Fi movie, however their are much deeper themes at play here about religion and Existentialism to name a few, an entertaining a deeply absorbing thrill ride!

A Kafkaesque bittersweet ghost story
For a first novel, Luke Smitherd has done himself justice bringing together classic existentialism, quite literally, with a touch of magical realism. An incredibly interesting concept discussing the in between phase of purgatory and reincarnation and how as humans, we cease to function without the basic notion of togetherness wrapped up in as easy to follow narrative.

While there were a few holes in terms of lack of character development for the the few people in the plot, the author performed his book well and it held together in the end.

Would be a good concept for a movie
Being trapped in alternate realities is always a terrifying thought, which Blake Crouch has managed to portray quite well. It's a family story, mixed with a bit of sci-fi and Kafka-esque existentialism, about the choices we make in life, and how literally in this case, can set you on a different path in quantum existences.

While it seemed more engaging at the beginning, the lack of movement in terms of the end goal, made it slightly tedious and repetitive. It could be a tad shorter for what it is. It also terminates quickly leaving a lack of conclusion.

When I read [Robert King's] [Time Ahead] my first thought was Rip van Winkle. The idea of falling to sleep and waking up in another time. As I read on I realized that I missed the existentialism that was so present in my younger years. Reading this was like a breath of fresh air for me. This may sound odd since it is a dark and depressing view to most people. The style [King] wrote it was truly engaging and there were points when the irony made me laugh out loud. This type of writing is very rare to come across and even more having it done well.
