ONE MORE LIFE TO LIVE: A TIME TRAVEL SECOND CHANCE NOVEL by Steven Decker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What if, after our life is over, we could live it again? But differently. In a body and under the circumstances we have no power to influence. Probably those who had an easy – even if a little boring – life would feel cautious. Why spoil what has already worked out quite nicely… Edward Stubbins has nothing to lose when, after he has died, he is offered a second chance.

Edward’s life has been controversial. He’s been through so much that the good things that happened to him couldn’t erase the hurt and the disappointment. Even so, he doesn’t jump at the offer to live again without thinking. For him, life doesn’t have anything worth going through its troubles again. Some kind of inner spark, which doesn’t die out completely even in the worst cynics, makes him grab the unique opportunity. And then, Edward receives the most extraordinary gift – one more life to live.

“One More Life to Live” by Steven Decker is surely a magnificent gift for readers. I’ve read other books by this author, and every time, I’m amazed at how masterfully he combines a page-turning story with the deep undertones that make readers think. Often, a meaningful narrative means a long and boring text. It isn’t so in the books by Steven Decker! His stories make you turn the pages even after your eyelids have been drooping for a while, at the same time planting musings about the significant things in life in your head.

You’ll want to read “One More Life to Live” as quickly as possible to find out how the story ends for Edward and Rufus. And both characters will evoke strong – absolutely different! – emotions in you. At the same time, you will keep thinking about the questions this book raises for a very long time after you read ‘The End’.
