Love And Space Dust Volume II

by David Jones

A long awaited sequel to the international best seller Love And Space Dust, Volume II continues the journey into the stars.

It will hurt

And hurt
And hurt

And then
One day

It won't.

Heartfelt poetry of raw emotion, Love And Space Dust II brings the narrative of the first volume to a conclusion. It's a story of healing, of hope, of searching for true love and how, in the infinite cosmos, through galaxies and time, soulmates always find each other.

I read this directly after volume one as, despite the kitsch-ness and repetitiveness, I was rather engrossed with the writing. Interestingly, I noticed this had a lot fewer reviews on GoodReads - and I can see why. I think David Jones should really have stopped with one book. Or combined these two books and done a fair amount of editing so there was less repetition! From 600 ratings of the first book, to nine of this one is a fair drop for a sequel - and I think this might be the first review... unless I've missed the correct edition!

Unfortunately, there's not much more to say about this book than about the first one - very much continues in the same vein. The prosaic section at the end is longer: a conversation between the astronaut and a young girl who thinks that astronauts grant wishes. This isn't an idea I've heard of before - not that it matters! She wishes to go to the horizon and is dissatisfied with the idea that there is always a horizon, there is no way of reaching it (like the end of the rainbow). I didn't enjoy this section; I actually found both characters sort of irritating.

Disappointing.

I prefer the first volume, however this one had some really good poems in it that I related to on a personal level. This is currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

I love this author. I had very limited knowledge of him. Every page I turned I could relate so deeply. I could have written each word. I was drawn to research the author’s information, his face and his worldly experience that caused him to be so insightful. I almost fell out when I realized how young he is. My thoughts were how can anyone person be so insightful and millions of others not have a clue. Keep the words coming.

A very short but introspective read. Some really good quotes that resonate, I was glad it was on Kindle Unlimited to pick up.

"I choose
To believe, that
Some people

Meet for
A reason."



"I miss
The stars
You put
In my
Sky."

The poems were better than the first volume. But the short story wasn't as awe inspiring and fantastic as in Volume 1.

It truly felt like a meh reading.
