While the synopsis on the back is what had me saying, ” Why not, it could be interesting.” It was Stone’s writing that kept me reading. I really enjoyed this thought-provoking book. It had me looking at some things in a different light. I would highly recommend this book.

Danny Anderson made the ultimate sacrifice, in his eyes, by wrecking his father’s car which resulted in his own death. It was all to save the girl he loved from throwing her dreams in the gutter by taking the fall for what he may or may not have done. His father was found deceased of an apparent overdose, but due to an altercation between the two the prior evening it is deemed suspicious. Sadé believes him innocent but Danny can’t be sure due to the loss of memory from the hit his father dealt him. The journey started when he was alive but the true journey started in his afterlife. His mother is his guide through all the lives he lived and together they get a fuller and broader view of everything. I have listened to stories of people that have experienced past lives or seeing the other side after a NDE and it is fascinating to hear what they describe. I’m glad I went outside of my norm to pick up this book. It is definitely worth the read.

Please be kind to yourself and your triggers while reading this book. I do have to applaud the author on how he describes the journey this poor young man, in the book, takes as he passes away.

If you are in the mood for an interesting from a very unique perspective, then I would recommend trying this book out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fuller Sight is a novel that dares to explore topics that are unique, original, thought-provoking, and emotional. The book is metaphysical and takes place outside of how we generally perceive reality and time to be. The story focuses on the main character of an eighteen-year-old boy named Danny who has had a tragic and difficult life. He is determined to save his friend Sade from throwing away her dreams, so he makes the ultimate sacrifice and ends his life. In the afterlife, Danny is reunited with his mom, Nora, who passed away nine years earlier. She guides him through his life and helps him to understand the events that led up to his death, karmic life lessons, and the impact those around him had on his life. Nora also takes Danny through the experiences of several of his past lives. This was an eloquently written book with topics that do not often get talked about such as reincarnation, life, loss, love, hope, death, the universe, spirituality, the afterlife, and karmic life lessons. It had me really thinking about what happens to those we love after we pass away and if they are looking over us. I have always been fascinated by the concept of reincarnation and love how skillfully the author weaved in the previous lives of Danny. A skillfully written masterpiece that will have you pondering your life in both this world and the beyond.

This book was right up my alley, and it did not disappoint at all! I love a good story with well-developed characters that truly makes you think. This is a metaphysical story but is relatable and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is not a book I had to force myself to finish or follow along with. I love the concept of the protagonist, Danny, learning all about his loved ones and helping them from the other side.I am fascinated by past lives, the great beyond, what it means to be human, and how we all connect. I enthusiastically recommend this book and look forward to more from this author!

This is a really unique book to read. At first I wasn’t sure if it was something I would enjoy however I’m so glad I gave it a chance. This for me was a really emotional read and it made me think about all things concerning life, death, previous lives and just about what happens to our consciousness in general. When we die do we just not exist anymore or does our consciousness go to another place where we can look back at our lives and the loved ones we leave behind.
It is a beautifully written story and I will admit there is a lot of content and a lot of characters each with a unique and difference perspective on events. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming however if you just take your time it is so worth it.
I don’t want to go into too much detail as I don’t want to give away spoilers and I really think I wouldn’t be able to do it justice.
It was a very thought provoking read and made me realise that because we see a situation/circumstance happening one way that doesn’t mean that other people involved are sharing the same perspective
It also gave me an element of comfort thinking that my loved ones that have passed are still keeping an eye on me.

This is my first John Stone book and it was very good. Not a super fast read because it does force the reader to really think and take time to process the story. I thought the story was very interesting and very unlike most books I read – in a good way. Metaphysical is a new genre for me, so that did take some getting used to, and like I mentioned, it does require more thought than most books I read. I really liked the way the author developed the characters like Danny and Nora and it was a very unique direction for a storyline. Well done. This was a unique and interesting read.

I struggle to write a review for Fuller Sight by John Stone that will do the novel justice while avoiding spoilers. I can honestly say I have never read anything like this. I was truly curious by what I had read in this book’s synopsis and I feel like the writing did not disappoint. This isn’t a book that you read quickly over a low key weekend and move on. It is more thought provoking and deep without being too heavy to be enjoyed. I liked this book and really would recommend it to anyone looking for something different.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fuller Sight is not the type of book I would normally read, but I really enjoyed it. It starts as the story of Danny, a teenager with a rough life. A tragic day is a huge turning point in a downward spiral that results in his death. But that’s just the beginning of the book. Danny is greeted in the after life by his mother who acts as his guide through the rest of the story. We follow along as they review the events leading up to and through the end of his life. Then the story introduces the idea of previous lifetimes. That was well done and I love how the author connects all the characters throughout time. He even threw in a little real history which was nicely done. I was most happy that the book was easy to follow. Often these type of books get twisted with the timelines and become convoluted.

An autobiography in fiction format is an interesting way to present a novel. I could picture this as a documentary film presenting the life of the main character, Danny. Although there is a preface that basically tells you what the story is about, I prefer as a reader to have all of this information revealed throughout the novel. It was interesting and entertaining to read about what happens after you die and your questions are answered. The topics of karma, reincarnation, and the afterlife make this book an interesting read.

This book was incredible and full of things that make you think. You learn a little bit about Danny in the first few pages and then things get quite complicated. A metaphysical world blooms within these pages and you and the characters learn as you go along. It is a very intriguing plot and well written.
The author does an amazing job describing things so you do not feel confused or lost, all while expanding on Danny’s new world. I really enjoyed this unique spin on things and think all will enjoy some, if not all parts of this story.
I highly recommend reading this and determining where you feel this fits in your mind. It’s an enjoyable trip.

“Make your best choices and then forgive and love yourself unconditionally.”
This is a book that has you thinking about things in the end. I like that it’s Danny’s mother with him after he commits suicide. There are a couple moments of Danny’s life of him as a kid after his moms death to try to help you get a view of how things are but I preferred the moments we got to see leading up to that final day. The author also included past life moments, I’ll admit at first I was asking why is this here? But I found myself to really enjoy them, I like the idea of reincarnation and am glad that it was included near the end of the story. Thinking about the book, it is a little sad, everything that’s going on in their lives you can’t help but feel for Danny and Sam but the ending is kind of peaceful, I thought it was a good way to end the story. I recommend the book for readers who enjoy spiritual reads.
This is an amazing book. John Stone has written a book that causes you to slow down and think.
To follow Danny through his life as his Mom, whom he lost at a very young age, guides him to remember certain things or look at situations from another’s vantage point.
I found this book to be amazing and thought provoking. All of my emotions were heightened as I laughed, worried, teared up, got angry, felt proud.
I definitely suggest reading this when you have the time to really enjoy a book, not when you are looking for an easy read, because this will leave you emotionally exhausted, in such a good way.

I really quite enjoyed this book. I felt it was well written and the characters were well developed. It is not a standard novel that I would pick up, but I am glad I did. The only part I did not enjoy was the descriptions of all of the main characters past lives. I was overwhelmed and confused with all of that information and I feel that it did not add much to the story.
Overall, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy philosophical mysteries. It is not a long book and the storyline moves quickly. Definitely a fascinating, self reflective read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very intriguing and thought provoking novel with a completely original and unique storyline. It is a metaphysical novel, meaning that much of the story takes place outside of time as we know it. The main character is eighteen year old Danny Anderson who in order to protect the girl he loves from throwing away her dreams of becoming a doctor, decides to make the ultimate sacrifice and he kills himself by running his father’s car into a bridge’s concrete abutment. Following his death the story then follows Danny as he is reunited with his mother Nora, who then acts as his guide helping him reflect on his life and understand himself and others better.
The plot then concentrates on going back over his rather tragic life, and we learn how his mother died and the physical abuse he suffered by his drunken father and then his death. Danny then looks back on how his father’s death is seen as suspicious and how he was a suspect. We meet Sade and look at how their relationship developed and resulted in her planning on telling the police that she was responsible for Danny’s father’s death. As he begins to understand the karmic life lessons and the importance of the greater community Nora then guides her son through his many previous lives.
These include being a son of a plantation owner in 1775, a blind beggar, a monk, and a former nobleman’s heir in 1349. We also observe his grandmother’s life as a suffragette and his father’s actions during 1971. It’s at this point that I did get a bit confused and felt overwhelmed with all the information, it’s a long book and not a particularly easy read. However, I persevered and am glad that I did as it definitely got me thinking and overall it is an inspirational story.

Fuller Sight by John Stone is a thought-provoking, emotional, and Karmic story that left me pondering life, death, and the universe. It is a unique and original metaphysical story woven with karmic lessons, emotion, life, death, love, loss, the universe, metaphysical/new-age spiritual ideals, family, history, adventure, past-life regression, lessons, time, space, insights, and much more.
There is a LOT of information to digest, and a LOT going on here that makes it really hard to put everything into words, without risking spoiling it for you. So all I will say is, if you love metaphysical stories that make you think, and take you on a bit of an original Karmic adventure, then you will probably want to dive into this book asap.
Happy Reading…
Thank you, John Stone!

Fuller Sight by John Stone. This is my first read by this author and it was so good. I truly enjoyed it even though it really made me think. Don’t go into this book thinking I’ll breeze right thru it because to truly understand it you have to slow down and savor it. Its a metaphysical read that goes into different times and in different forms. It mainly follows 18 year old Danny Anderson who loses his mom at an early age and he is left with his alcoholic, abusive father. When his father ends up dead from weird circumstances Danny is the main suspect. His best friends wants to protect him but he can’t let her do that. He takes matters into his own hands. He also meets his mom again and she guides him thru some things. We also see Danny back in time in several different time periods and several different ways of life. Its a thought provoking read that you will be left thinking about long after you finish.

This is a very unique read with a unique perspective. Don’t be afraid to pick up this book and step outside of your comfort zone…it’s well worth it.

I am in awe of this book. I had not read anything by this author before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cover caught my eye (pun intended) and the synopsis drew me in. I’m a pretty quick reader, but this book made me slow down and truly ponder these perspectives. It is quite emotional as well so I feel a bit of a book hangover in a good way! It is quite original, and I enjoyed the spiritual theme throughout. You will be hooked from the very first chapter just as I was because this author has such a way of crafting his story that pulls you in. I highly recommend this book even if it isn’t your typical go-to genre. I am eagerly awaiting to see what this author has in store next!

WOW. I am not sure how I feel about this one. Emotions on overload. John Stone is a new author, and he takes you on a journey unlike anything you have read before.
There is a lot going on, a lot to digest in Fuller Sight. It is a story about time, space, events, being, existence, universals and everything in between that is considered metaphysical. It starts off with a bang and that sets the tone of the story.
It is a very unique, original and intriguing read as it explores someone no longer in the physical plane and looking back at the life they had. There are different time periods explored and reminisced.
If you are looking for something a little different then this is for you.

What an amazing story. It was powerful and inspirational at the same time. Watching Danny and Nora take the trip through Danny’s life was a ‘wow’ factor. I found the writing to be quite thought provoking. There were a couple of subpltos here that tied together nicely. I was in it right from the start. Great characters and fantastic writing. This is a book I can definitely recommend. I hope to read more from this author.
