If any of the following applies to you, go ahead and put Life, Inc. in your Amazon shopping cart and enjoy the ride:

* Worked in an office and can appreciate the fact that most people in that setting are imbeciles

* Appreciate insightful, edgy and sharp wit... fans of the TV show Arrested Development understand what I'm talking about

* Fan of science fiction...but not in a dress up like characters on the weekend kinda way...but a fan who appreciates M. Adams, F. Herbet, L. Niven, R. McCammon, J Morrow; have DVR'ed episodes of X-Files and Twilight Zone (in color or black and white); and thinks Battlestar Galactica is genius.

Life Inc. is well-paced and thought provoking. You'll often find yourself nodding your head in reluctant agreement or utter disbelief... an excellent combination for any novel. The author brought to life truly original characters the reader can pity, despise and love all at the same time. Enjoy. Bryan - Chicago

A surreal and spiritual fable, Life, Inc. spins the reader through adventures that navigate the insecurities littering the lost path to the authentic self. Davis also moves corporate familiars into entirely new territory. By turning common office annoyances inside out, he inspires audiences to find their own story. Closed minds need not enter - this book breaks all the rules.

The Author has brilliantly created a word picture of our universe that we have only imagined in our mind. A world in which the mysteries of the space between life and death have plagued us forever. The story explains a possibility of what and why the balance in GOD'S master plan works.

Terrific book with no excess language for the reader who likes to think.

Life, Inc. is a fascinating mystery that held my attention from the getgo...as my introduction into the sci-fi genre. The word-pictures the author uses are so appropiate and crystal clear that I found myself dwelling on each one. It is obvious that J. Davis has put much thought into figuring out LIFE and that he has been blessed with a creative dramatic mind. A fast moving book that can be read on many levels. Thought provoking. A good conversation starter.....would make a good book club read for a group discussion.

Finally, here's a story that challenges the intellect and still reads well. While a work of fiction, it makes you ask yourself, "Who am I?", "Where am I going?", and "What am I doing?" as you ride along with the protagonist through his journey. Definitely worth reading.

Have our lives been truly reduced to functioning as helplessly minute teeth on one wheel of the corporate machine? This novel forces one to reflect on one's own existence -- and challenges the reader to formulate his own strategy to escape the suffocating ties that bind.

Colorful anecdotes (perhaps from the author's childhood experiences?) provide some balance against a rather dark tale of perseverance, hope and solitude. And the ending offers inspiration to each of us as individuals. I recommend without reservation -- enjoy!

I had the distinct pleasure and honor of reading this book before it went to press. There is something here for everyone: scifi/fantasy, adventure, thriller, love, spirituality, as well as themes and ideas that just make you THINK. (I was thinking about this book and the ideas that Jonathan Davis introduced for weeks after I read it. I haven't thought this much about a book since I was in school.) Read it for the adventure, allow yourself to be seduced by the spirituality, and stick around for the philosophy. You'll be glad you did.
