Book Review ~~ The Big Deal ~~

Recently, I read “The Big Deal”, by Jamie Brindle. I found this story very intriguing because it continued in an endless loop — fitting, because time and space did not exist in the beginning, where the story took place. Quincy is a salesman, quite a good one, who sells lives to Poor Souls. In fact, he is such a good salesman that the first life he shows a Poor Soul is successfully sold — until a Poor Soul decides that the life Quincy shows him is not the right life for him. Instead, he shows an interest in a life that Quincy himself feels a degree of recognition for. Quincy shoves another life at him, but soon enough, the Poor Soul returns because the life, according to him, “wasn’t really my cup of tea”. Quincy is shocked and tries to conceal the familiar life, but is unsuccessful, and as a result, they both get thrown into the same life. The life progresses quickly, fast-forwarding, but afterwards, there is trouble because there are two souls in the same life. Quincy gets sent back to the Beginning and the cycle repeats infinitely. I enjoyed reading this story and thought that the idea was very creative and original, much like the riddle about whether the chicken or the egg came first. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys reading science fiction, fantasy, or simply a book that makes you think and rate it 9.7/10.
