The Reincarnation of Tom

This book was unlike any other work of fiction I have read! At times I found myself laughing out loud, cringing in shock, or gasping in disbelief at the plight of Tom as he travels through his reincarnations. Overall I found this book to be delightful, even though death and killing are a main theme. If you are looking for a quirky, off-kilter read and the thought of multiple reincarnations of a soul doesn't rub you the wrong way, this is a fantastic choice!

I received this book from NetGalley. The  main reason I picked this book was the cover, it's not everyday you see a chicken called Tom on the cover. The humour in this book is fantastic, sometimes it is a dark humour but as you get further into Tom's story you understand the need for his sarcasm and downward look on the world. 

He lives as a tiger, chicken, tree and nearly every other animal you can think of, I don't want to put spoilers into this review as I want readers to experience the feeling I got when all the twists and turns came into play. 

The only thing I have which is negative in this book is that it wasn't long enough! I needed more and especially the cliffhanger at the end left me with an empty void where I feel like the story didn't end. 

Would 100% recommend this book.

The Reincarnation of Tom (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) was the book I didn’t know that I needed in my life. Tom lives a pretty boring and inconsequential life until he learns of a secret chant to say right before he dies. Soon he is hit by a bus and as he has nothing else to lose he says the chant causing him to wake up after death as a CHICKEN! As he moves from one animal to the next he learns he must work his way back up the natural chain to be a human again. Aden Simpson is an amazing “word writer” (as he claims he is)! I totally recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or any writing that has you laughing out loud while reading in solitude!
