Remembrance

I love time travels and this one was unusual as more than one "back in time" takes place. The character is a romance writer which makes reading the book even more interesting. Story becomes quite suspenseful, it's not always a happy circumstance which I like so you can not predicit the story BUT I will say the ending left me flat. Will not give it away but there was so much more I would have preferred happen than the quick close and unrealistic ending.

I don't even know what to say about this one. I'm giving it 4 stars because out of all its oddity, I couldn't put it down. It was weird but good. It rambled at times but kept me engrossed. There was a constant feeling of doom and much treachery and misunderstandings. I truly hated some of the characters. I kept waiting for the happy ending and in one regard there was one and in another, there wasn't. There was tragedy and, whoa, the ending was quite odd and sucked. The premise of living past lives was different. Huh. Is that what deja vu is all about? Did I totally do this once before in another life? Did I read a similar book to this 2 lifetimes ago? Did I like it then or think it was weird too? If living past lives in which, perhaps, show more something undone in the past effects the present, it got me wondering if the jackass I divorced will no longer haunt me in another life. One can only hope. show less

A rather exhausting book, so filled with angst that I honestly don't know if I liked it or hated it. The story is very compelling, yes, and difficult to put down. But I can't say that at any point I enjoyed reading it. Everything was so tragic and uncomfortable ... not at all what I'm looking for when sitting down with a romance novel.

A story of two souls trying to come together over multiple past lives. While outside forces seek to pull them apart. I loved the stories and was kept avidly interested through the whole book. I particularly loved Talis and Callie's story and was completely wrapped up in it and was even wrapped up in the lives of the more unsavory characters in the story. This is a really great read!

I loved this book. You do not have to be a fan of romance novels to appreciate this book. I feel that Remembrance belongs in the general fiction catagory more than it does in the romance section. This is not to say that Remembrance is not a love story; it is. It is more than just a love story though. Remembrance is a grand, sweeping saga about two people meant to be together who are trying to find each other throughout eternity and includes all the heartache and hardship each one encounters throughout the ages. This story includes love, lust, betrayal, jealousy, and time travel. I could not put this book down.

If you check out my read list, you'll see that I'm a huge JD fan. This is another winner! I LOVE books about reincarnation and the excellent quality of the writing made this a fave. The characters are intelligent, witty, and easy to relate to. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this one!
