5.0 out of 5 stars Want to change your view on things?, January 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Audrey Rose (Mass Market Paperback)

"Audrey Rose" is not only a great book, of a family torn apart, by what they don't even beleive in, but it also presents a good representation of reincarnation.

When Hoover's own daughter died, he was heart broken, but then he heard from a respected psychic that his daughter was still alive. He made the decision to find her, but how would you feel and how much you would you believe, from a man who is certain you have his daughter, reincarnated in your own child?

And what happens when you start to believe it?

4.0 out of 5 stars Another forgotten gem!, July 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Audrey, Rose (Mass Market Paperback)

First, this book fails somewhat as a horror novel, because the author didn't explore/exploit the horror elements as much as a horror fans like me would have liked to see. Yet, a horror fan will find the novel satisfying, nonetheless. Mostly, the novel succeeds at the metaphysical level, challenging the reader's core beliefs about who we are as a race, and what becomes of us after death. Therefore, the book has a broader appeal. The one problem with the book, however, is that it bogs down into a courtroom drama, thus ruining the pace, although the content here is engaging. Also, the ending is somewhat disappointing. I'm not sure if three stars is more suitable, but the book is a good read, regardless. Also, be sure to check out the film, staring Anthony Hopkins. It's a faithful adaptation.

This is one of those intriguing, suspenseful novels that stay with you for a while. It's the story of a little girl who is experiencing terrifying and painful episodes. As the story progresses it seems that they may be the result of a past-life trauma which for some reason she if reliving in her new body. The dramatic episodes and mysterious past-life are fascinating, frightening, and gripping. It's a great escapist read that draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
