What do readers think of Until the Next Time by Kevin Fox? Write your own review.

This is a story about an Irish family that seems to be living in a cycle similar to Celtic knot. The story is written as journal entries by Sean Michael Corigan and Michael Sean Corigan. One is living in 1972 and the other is living in 1996. even though the story constantly flips between the two time lines and sometimes can be a little confusing, overall the story is a good one. It is full of suspense and drama and little romance that keeps you glued to the pages. It takes you from New York to Ireland and into two different, but at the same time similar, worlds.

I enjoyed this book. it is a good book for people who believe in karma and reincarnation. The book has many themes. The author does a good job presenting the political and religious struggles that has been going on for many years. Also has romance. I'm anxious for my sister-in-law, who is from Ireland, to read it and see what she thinks. When she came to America she thought lightning bugs were evil spirits. Think she would enjoy this book?

This book was well written with rich, quirky characters. Interspersed with humor & vivid descriptions of Ireland in the 1970's & late 1990's, I quickly got drawn into the story.
Unfortunately, about half way through the book, the plot became somewhat confusing & I began to lose some interest.
However, I did develop a deepened appreciation of Ireland, the land, its people, culture, beliefs & history.
In the end, this turned out to be a profound love story which offers hope that our soul mates are always waiting to be found.

In the beginning, I felt this story was somewhat disjointed, but the author managed to smooth things out as he went along. Reincarnation, not a new subject, was presented with an interesting twist and the ties to scripture and modern day religion fell into the "things that make you say hmmmm" category. I enjoyed this story, especially once the author caught his rhythm. I think you'll enjoy this book, as well....keep it...you may want to read it again....in your next life.

Kevin Fox's "Until the Next Time" was a very enjoyable read. It moves along at a fast pace and keeps you interested throughout the entire book.
I enjoyed the introduction of reincarnation into the story. It seemed especially apropos given the setting in Ireland. The aspect that I particularly enjoyed the most was the way the author made me think about parables in the Bible and its' hidden meanings. This is a book with many layers and I'm sure if I read it again, I would find new items to mull over and analyze.
My only small complaint was that I occasionally got lost between the characters and needed to backtrack. It might have helped to have changed the names just a bit more to make them more distinctive and easier to follow. I didn't necessarily like any of the characters either.
Overall, however, I would recommend reading the book. The setting of Ireland was beautiful. The history of Ireland during the "Troubles" was very interesting and the reincarnation theme made this a very solid book to read.

If you are willing to invest in reading 200 pages before significant plot development begins, learning little about most of the characters in these first 200 pages, and/or are open to the intriguing possibilities of karma and reincarnation, then you will be nearly unable to put this book down until you have read the last 200 pages. While the novel was an exciting ride, I was very moved by the themes - I am still reflecting on the power of belief in karma and multiple lifetimes. The narrative flowed smoothly and the dialog was realistic, making the reading of the first 200 pages at least manageable. Although, ironically, I cannot say that I liked any of the characters, their stories of love and loss resonated with me and I find myself wanting to share the novel with my friends.

I thought Until The Next Time was a good read. The book a lot of characters in several time periods that but the way that it was written it was fairly easy to follow once ou got the jist of it. I did get a little confused near the end, but the author brought it all together nicely.

I also thought the author did a good job of presenting the political & relgious struggle that Ireland has been going through for years.

Readers of history, fantasy & romance would really enjoy this book.

This book covers interesting themes and is redundant. There are two parallel stories that I found confusing (perhaps because I picked the book up and put it down too many times). I got tired of the women calling the men “eejits” and “amadans” (Gaelic for “eejits”) and telling them to “shut yer gob”, which they did every couple of pages. People being told that they just weren’t looking at what was in front of them, they weren’t asking the right question or hearing what was being said - that got old, too. The concept of reincarnation is fascinating, and Fox’s explanation of the destruction wrought by non-believers in it rings true. I also like his premise that fiction and stories hold truths (because they are fluid and open to interpretation by the beholder) as opposed to written history, as in the driving force behind this story, for example – the journal – because it is dangerous and offers only the writer’s point of view. “Lie to illuminate the truth” – certainly something to consider. Fox’s take on the Celt’s strengths and weaknesses was entertaining (drinking often, using unpredictability and individuality to win wars). But the icing was his invitation to show up at Inchmore on December 9 – I wonder if he actually goes, and if anyone thinks they’re his Kate…actually, I really don’t want to know.
