The Journey is unlike any book I've ever read. The main character is called the Lonely. He doesn't know if he is alive, if he is dead or what his purpose is. He begins a journey to learn his purpose and to find peace. He wants to know his name and why he exists. His journey begins at the crossroads, and the constantly changes it's appearance.

His journey takes him to the North, East, South and West. At each place, he learns the answers to his questions or what he learns takes him to the next stop on his journey. Each superior being at each point answers questions with questions, that at times, could get confusing. But if you can follow the logic and philosophy, it's really entertaining and page-turning. Walk with the Lonely on his journey! Filled with beautiful imagery, interesting characters and seamless writing, The Journey is a written treat!
