Soul Identity is a good quick read. But that in of itself does not make a book good. Thankfully this book took it one step above.

It takes its readers into a journey and discovery into their own beliefs. Is it possible to get your souls history and future? And if so, is it moral to find out and try to manipulate it?

Every reader can relate to the topic in the book as we have each wondered what happens to our souls once we die, or if we even have one. It was interesting to read how each character felt about the issue and their own questions about it. Whether they were trying to help Soul Identity flourish, or help with its demise, excellent points were raised that forces the reader to choose a side.

While the book held some good action and twists, the characters could have been developed a bit more. Some of the actions they took also seemed a little jarring and made you question how they got into the situation in the first place. I do have the sequel on my reading list and am looking forward to seeing Dennis’s growth and progression of the story line.

As this authors’ first book, I think it is well done. If he cleans up some characters and tightens up the story line, he is sure to gain a following. ( )

One of the best books I've read this year. I recommend it whole-heartedly. ( )

Truly a gripping read!, November 18, 2008

Dennis Batchelder's 'Soul Identity' is a fantastic read that grabs the reader's attention right from the start. The style is very similar to the Da Vinci Code, with the author's incredible attention to detail and knowledge of a vast array of places around the world. We live in an age where computers and technology are evolving at a high rate of speed, and in a world laced with conspiracy theories. Dennis Batchelder has weaved a story incorporating those fascinating elements and much more. I highly enjoyed 'Soul Identity' and look forward to the next!

I really enjoyed this story. It moved along at a very good pace. The characters seemed plausible. The plot worked very well. And the ending was believable. I look forward to reading this author's next book!

A interesting topic as well. What if you could identify someone's soul throughout time and be able to connect the people they currently inhabit? ( )
