A review by bethsreading
The Premonitions Bureau by Sam Knight

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

While I did enjoy this book, I felt all the way through that I wanted more. The book is definitely more of a biography about John Barker than about premonitions themselves. Also the book itself felt disjointed and seemed to veer on tangents that while interesting, took away focus from the main topic. I found it all fascinating (though some biography parts went on a little long for my tastes) and I enjoyed the philosophy and psychology elements that questioned the boundaries of thought and time. However, I was sadly left wanting. I wanted more about the premonitions themselves, more examples of them, more about their historical and social significance. Worth a read, but I would go in with different expectations than the blurb offers you.
