Last night, up late and unable to sleep with a broken little toe, (given the pain, who knew it was such a mighty thing?), I was in dire need of a compelling read. I downloaded Jump into the Blue and all I can say is Wow! What a wild ride this author went on. And she wrote the book so well, it was an effortless pleasure to read.
I read a lot of non-fiction paranormal-books. At first, I thought this would follow the usual storyline of a demonic or negative energy coming through a Ouija board. That would have been fine if it had gone that way, but it didn't. Instead, it segued to other paths the author sought or stumbled upon to access other energies or dimensions or the unseen reality behind this one or whatever you want to call it. I could not predict what would happen to the author from one chapter to the next. It kept me on the edge of my seat (and made me forget my wittew toe.)
She also portrays the adventurous traveling life of a young person, which is vicariously fun. (She sure has a lot of guts!!!) She meets new people in other countries and describes the various lifestyles and places in a picturesque way. Sometimes, her life sounded a lot like the hippie world of The Sixties, which is my favorite era. The William Blake quote at the beginning of the book refers to the doors of perception which, as I recall, was The Doors inspiration for calling themselves The Doors, and an apt reference for the author's own experiences. (Break on through to the other side!)
I like, too, that in the end, the author did not try to wrap up all her otherworldly experiences in a simplistic little bow. Some things in life are a mystery and I, for one, like it that way.
