Synchronicity: A Novel by Tyler J. Yates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Renowned Thinker, Carl Jung wakes after his death in the Archetype Room with God. After an enlightening discussion over various themes and frameworks, God informs Jung that he is needed to explore the concept of synchronicity in greater depth. This is where Travis Alva Edison comes in: Travis still lives in his mother’s basement. He is a mid-twenties old man who recently realized that his life is going nowhere with no end in sight. He starts an epiphany list which he hopes will help propel him onto a meaningful life path. He meets Meg, a girl who is successful in her life (in his eyes), and they plan to meet up again soon. Throughout this all, Carl is “upstairs” watching Travis and how his life is unfolding in both expected and unexpected ways. At one point, Carl must make a decision that will have the power to alter Travis’s life forever.
This story was well written and had no grammatical errors (important to me). I thought this was an interesting concept to explore and the author did not disappoint. He fleshed out the characters, and they were well though out in terms of relationships and reactions. The pacing was steady in the beginning and then it started to pick up with the addition of the diamond find and the introduction of the Skinwalker. It certainly was an interesting book.
