My Name is Memory

The first chapter of Ann Brashares, "My Name Is Memory", is like any other young adult novel. Girl crushes over aloof, mysterious guy. Yawn. Chapter two takes us back many centuries to the beginning of mysterious guy's life. Now I'm awake. Although I found parts of the story a bit slow it quickly gained momentum and suspense. Interwoven throughout a love story that spans centuries is a very powerful and unnerving message of Metaphysics. Anyone who has an interest in reincarnation will definitely enjoy this book.

This book kept me turning the pages.... not only is it a love story it has fights deaths funny moments family values romantically interwoven into a long history between two characters....Im only hopeing that a sequel is made .....bc the story was so good I never want it to end it's so easy to develop a closeness to the characters in this book and I want to read more about them!

I loved reading the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series when I was a teenager. So when I saw that Ann had written another book, I was all too exited! But I must say this book was somewhat good and somewhat not. First of all, I want to say that I have never read Fallen by Lauren Kate, but I admit they seem to have many similarities from what I've seen about her book. The book starts off very slowly. It took me about 10 chapters to really get into it. I really wanted to try and read it because I had loved the others books she had written. So I gave it a chance and finally, it started to be interesting and I couldn't stop. The book was a bit confusing at times because of all the changes: the narrator, the timeline, the names of people who reincarnated... But it was still very interested to find out how Lucy would find Daniel and if she would. Would one of them die before? I was too curious to put it down. Finally, I got to the end. I was very disappointed because it was a typical ending of a love story, but it left an uneasy feeling. You don't really know what happens between the two of them... You're just left of wondering. That's why I'm hoping there will be a second one.
