The only reason I gave this great book 4 stars is because its plot takes place in the Medieval Era. For those who do not feel they lived during that time...this book would not be as interesting or intriguing. However if you feel a strong resonance, whether its a positive or negative, to this time Era then buy this book and you will be taken back to that time through the stories of those who actually did live. You will hear how their horrible death, how they found love, how they lost love. Wonderful book!

3.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting read, February 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Echoes from Medieval Halls: Past-Life Memories from the Middle Ages (Did you live then?) (Paperback)

I've long thought that my medieval tendancies have related to past lives. This book chronicles a study group of medieval reenactors, SCAdians, and Farie folk who are regressed to past lives which occured during the middle ages and then the data is compared with historical fact.

There were a couple of people's stories that I really enjoyed, especially that of Helen. I found these peeks to be entertaining and an interesting glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the middle ages. Though in the end the author shares many interesting statistics from the study I didn't find there to be any overall conclusion.

Barbara Hall studied a group of Medieval reenactors helping them to explore past lives that may be influencing their current hobby. Many of the past lives are fascinating - some predictably are short and/or boring. Overall this is a very good book that helps us understand what drives historical reenactors and gives us a birds eye view of the hardships of living in the Middle Ages.
