Review: "Terminal Regression" by Mallory Hill

This science fiction thriller is set in a society that is a paradise for some and torture for others. If you have a clear picture of what life should hold for you, you fit into society. If not, you spend your time searching for meaning in your life. That is just what Laura Baily did. She tried everything and could not find her niche. She was depressed and, unhappy and feeling like she had nothing to live for, so she bought a ticket for the Train. Now this is no ordinary train. When you take this train ride, your life ends, literally or so she thought but what she finds was unexpected. She finds life, not death and a reason for life and go on, now she must find how to get her life back and right the injustices that are taking place.

This is a page turning, thought provoking novel which I couldn’t put down. The story is fast paced and just when you think you know where it is going, it changes directions. It also has some very poignant “aha” moments. It gives you much to ponder concerning the causes and effects of suicide on the people involved. It also helps you realize that good can come when people find their true calling.

I highly recommend this book for young adults to adult. Although it could be read by younger readers, the subject matter may not be understood by them.
