When I first started "Spell On Me" I wasn't really sure what I would be getting as the book's summary was sparse on details, but once I got a few pages into the book I found myself wrapped up in the author's wonderfully evocative writing style. Put together in the form of a diary journal this really does expose the thoughts, actions, feelings and events of a man's life in startling detail as he finds himself on a journey of self-discovery, contemplates life, reforms concepts that were firm just a short time ago and generally has a his whole world rocked by an event that changes him in unforeseen ways.Serge Smith has a gift for writing that is clear in the book, drawing you into the writing and making you care about the man as well as the journey he takes along the way. This is he type of soul-searching, mind-enriching book that brings up thought-provoking ideals about life, the purpose of our journeys and the determination to find meaning in a life that has gone off course. Overall, this was an engaging read that I would definitely recommend to other readers.
