"It's been two years since I received my life sentence of imprisonment."

Diagnosed with a rare form of meningitis, a teenage boy is paralyzed from head to toe - trapped in his own mind. To cope with his imprisonment, he retreats to an imaginary world called his Mind Palace, but the lines between reality and time start to blur into wild adventures after he gets a new roommate - an old, outspoken, Jewish jazz musician with dementia.

This was such a great story! I was sucked in from the 1st chapter. I'm normally not much of a sappy story reader, but I admit by the end I was tearing up a little bit. I loved the authors comments at the end too!

such a great story!

What a great story! I didn’t really know what to expect from this book, but the characters and story drew me right in. I’ve seen a few of the tropes in this book used much less effectively elsewhere. This would make a fantastic film!

A unique story that will draw you in

The counter view of young and old, coming of age and the inevitable approach of life’s end was beautifully done. Their friendship was heartwarming. The performance was really great too. A very well done audiobook.

What does Johan Twiss bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Solomon's voice - you can probably get it a little from reading, but the narrator really brings it out. Solomon really came alive for me.

This is a book I could see my children enjoying as well as my parents. It's clean and funny and heartbreaking and inspiring. Truly for young and old alike.

I have to admit, I'm not always keen on reading independently published books. Sometimes they're pretty painful. But I heard about this author and story from an event at my local library and was intrigued. I'm so glad I made an exception! I was hooked from the beginning and engaged all the way through. I loved the characters, the history, the music references, and the hopeful message. A+ Johan Twiss!

Loved it!

Beautiful balance of grief, acceptance, hardship, friendship, and love. A gentle reminder of the value of connectedness and the gifts that come from just showing up.

Wonderfully creative story of connections and grace
