Great novel that shows sometimes even the most successful are on the same journey as the ready of us. A business man takes a break and goes on a trip in search of peace and happiness!

Journey was a wonderful thought provoking novel. A story of an ambitious workaholic, on the brink of collapse, finding an unexpected path for healing and renewal. Beautifully uplifting and full of relatable characters, I truly enjoyed this "journey". Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for the e-copy for review. All opinions are my own.

A man who is in line for the CEO job at his tech firm in NY, takes a side trip from one of his many business trips to see a soul reader, who starts him on a journey to find peace and happiness in his life.

It just does not ring true!

I love self help books, self actualization books, etc., I believe in working an entire life to achieve a more peaceful and meaningful existence. But I do not believe that happens because you went to see someone who is suppose to have special powers and walk around sacred grounds or whatever. It happens over many years and probably a lifetime. I don't take a married man who just had sex with some woman on a business trip that he doesn't even know and then a few days later - aw....enlightened. Stop.

Netgalley did give me this book for an honest review.

Journey was well-written and engaging. The story was beautifully written, with a consistent style and tone, and efficiency of description that didn't slow the pace or dull the mood.

Journey was a joy to read.

Recommended for readers who enjoy thought-provoking stories that inspire and motivate.

I was excited to read Journey by Andrew Zimmerman. I was in Glastonbury in September with my cousins. We spent two days with a spiritual guide touring and listening to his teaching. Lots to think about. The main character, Paul, is a high-powered exec who is on a business trip to England and goes to Glastonbury., he meets with a soul reader. This has him questioning his life. His wife is skeptical of Christine and paul and Mary visit Glastonbury. Prior to my trip to England I knew nothing of the “Tor” and the mysticism surrounding this special area. I look forward to rereading this book. Thank you Radius and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

This is good lit fiction, and centers on the main character's transformation. This has well written characters and good dialog. It doesn't have action, but it certainly doesn't need it. It's ultimately uplifting and satisfying. A good slow burn.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

What an interesting and thoughtful book this was. Mr. Zimmerman wrote this book in a way that had me feeling like I was sitting in a chair and watching the interaction of the characters, and I was all in!

Paul may be having a mid-life crisis, but was it? It was more of him seeking to figure out what in the heck was he doing with his life and the impact it had on others around him.

After he returns from a soul reading, I particularly liked the exchange when he calls an ex to explain some things, and she acted just like someone who had been wounded and let him have it. The emotions felt very real to me.

I loved Mary, his wife, and how she expressed her feelings about Paul and some things he was dealing with. I would LOVE to have a discussion with a book club about this book as it covers so many themes, job dynamics, son/father relationships, husband/ wife issues, spirituality, curiosity about feelings, and much more.

Mr. Zimmerman is a great storyteller, and he talks about how he wrote this during a writing class under Charles Salzburg, so for that, I would thank Mr. Salzburg for helping him get this book out into the world.

I highly recommend this book, and I look forward to reading other work by Mr. Zimmerman.

Didn't read. Don't remember asking for this. Please remove from my library. Thank you. Had to rate so only put one star but this doesn't reflect on its content as I didn't read it.

Interesting and compelling. Paul is nearing the top of his game at work, but the price he is paying is at home, with his marriage and his son. The wife of a friend suggests a spiritual journey to him, and Paul is intrigued enough to give it a try. This sets him off on a path that may be guided by his spirit, but Paul is uncertain at first if what he is doing is right. What will it cost him, yet the direction he was headed seemed certain to have a heavy cost as well, so he asks himself which way is a better course?

This is an intriguing subject, and an interesting, easy to read book. I came to know the character of Paul and his son fairly well, but I was uncertain of the direction of the female characters - they were a bit underdeveloped to my taste. That said, Paul, at first was a bit cold and calculating and as his character grew he became much more endearing. Since the book was about his journey, it made sense not to get to know the other characters as well.

In our modern world there is a bit of redemption in reading this book. It was unique and thought provoking, and I am glad to have been given an opportunity to read it.

I read Journey by Andrew Zimmerman because I am fascinated by spiritual awakenings, alternative healing, yoga, mysticism, druids, and even fairy's. I read this book in two days which is quick for me so it clearly held my attention. I found Paul's journey very interesting and the idea of a soul reader intriguing. However, something is missing for me in this book. I felt the writing was a that of a first time author (which he is) and the words were just as they came to his mind. Kind of like I write, but I am not trying to sell a book. It is interesting that this spiritual awaking is from a man's point of view and the wife was skeptical.

Give this book a shot! It may not have been for me but it was truly interesting and if I give this some more thought I may change my review in a few days.

I did receive this book as an advanced readers copy from #NetGalley for an honest review.

l am of two minds about this book. Perhaps that is because this is not one book but two, combined. The first is Paul's world, he is a businessman in a high position for a consulting company tied to high tech. (And the author is obviously experienced here.) The other is an inner world of the spirit tied to goddesses, crystals, meditation, and other "Woo-Woo" stuff often found in fantasy novels.

Zimmerman can write, which makes this novel a fast read, but its dichotomy leaves you a little shell-shocked. Paul's introduction to his inner self through an experience with a soul reader from Glastonbury is such a contrast with the businessman that it's almost schizophrenic. How does this successful master of the universe so easily adapt to the self-searcher and acolyte of Christine, the soul reader? I can't answer that and that's what makes this such a difficult book to review and categorize..

The chapter dealing with a product to simulate sex via a sex-toy on the internet is almost interesting enough (and funny enough) to rate an extra star. However, the ending is unexpected and unsatisfying enough to drop one. Read it anyway and decide for yourself. You won't have wasted your time.

I found this a very enjoyable read from author Andrew Zimmerman. Journey is a tale revolving around one man's life turned upside down and the impact on his family. The writing style was instantly accessible and characters never felt cliched. The setting was unique and inspired. I would have preferred to see Glastonbury England become a bit more fleshed out and become a unique character in its own right. Would definitely consider reading more from this author.

I wanted to like the idea of this novel, but I really disliked both Paul and his wife, Mary. They were both so selfish and frustrated with each other, it was disconcerting to read. The spritiual journey that Paul undertakes was interesting but it wasn't really enough to transform the story.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Journey was a very interesting tale of a successful businessman awakening to an expanded reality. While on a business trip, he visits friends who live in Glastonbury, England. He visits a soul reader, and begins a process of changing and unfolding to his spiritual nature. Sadly, his wife is stuck in her jealous reality where he must be in love with the soul reader. He takes her along on a trip to Glastonbury, and she is freaked out by the whole experience, but something is happening to her too. Their son sees his father changing, and it empowers him to make changes in his life. It was a great read, and I'd like to see more books like this that show what it's really like when you remember that you are a soul with a body, not a body with a soul. Love it.

This book sounded intriguing. But I honestly just couldn’t get into it. It just wasn’t for me.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Gee, sorry but I just couldn't get into the story. The characters were vanilla, pace too slow, and the story not compelling enough for me. No tension at all. No mystery going on to hold me. When I start skimming then I know I'm losing the story.
