Book Reviews of Audrey Rose
Book Review: Fascinating Book. Is There An Audiobook Recording?
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the book Audrey Rose and I found this book to be a page-turner because the reincarnation plot was fascinating and I really liked the characters and I highly recommend this excellent book! I would read this again. Is there an audio book recording of Audrey Rose? Since I already raed the book I think it would be nice to listen to an unabridged audio recording if one was available.Book Review: I'M BAAAACCK...
Summary: 3 Stars
I read this book when it was first released some thirty odd years ago, and I really enjoyed it at the time. In rereading it, I find that I enjoyed it less the second time around.
The story line is fairly simple. Elliot Hoover is a distraught man who lost his wife and five year old daughter, Audrey Rose, years ago in a car accident in Pennsylvania, where they lived at the time. The car went up in a ball of flames with his little girl trying unsuccessfully to get out. He now firmly believes that his daughter has been reborn in the body of another little girl, Ivy Templeton, who lives with her parents in New York. He also believes that his daughter was reincarnated too soon and now lives in torment in Ivy's body.
The book details Elliot Hoover's efforts to help his daughter, and the Templeton's efforts to help theirs. Some parts of the book are interesting, while other parts drag on at times. I was not sorry when the book ended. Still, those who enjoy books with supernatural portents or who are interested in the topic of reincarnation will derive some enjoyment from this book.
Book Review: I've tried to get through this book twice
Summary: 1 Stars
I like reincarnation stories and the like, but after trying to get through Audrey Rose twice, I gave up. I think the thing that bothered me was the author's attempt to convince the reader that reincarnation is true--he cites various religious books from around the world.
In my opinion, a fiction writer should lead the reader toward a suspension of disbelief, not beat him over the head with facts and arguments. Little clues should add up that allow the reader to get lost in the story.
I loved the "Exorcist" and "RoseMary's Baby," but Audrey Rose just did not work for me.
Book Review: Life Changing....... beauty
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a beautiful, thought provoking, enthralling story with so much information and literally helped shape my perspective on the world. I too read this story around the age of 15. I'm now 45 and so delighted that my 13 year old is reading it. It's been so difficult to get her to be interested in things i read now, and she can't put it down. As a parent who's been trying to impart to my children, who i am and what i believe and why, i'm so thrilled she's actually reading it. I had interested her in 'sophies world' 3 or so years ago, but it was too much for her at 10 and she got bored with it. Perhaps after audrey rose she will pick it up again. She is so bright and rebellious, but perhaps now she'll understand why i am who i am. Perhaps she'll begin to understand not to hate the world. Luckily i had an old copy, pages very yellowed, i had to come check out to see if it was still in publication, disappointed its not. This is a book perfect for the young mind. Even to consider life is not always as we're taught.Book Review: Terrifing way of looking at life
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book for the first time when I was 13, it made me reason why are we in this world. You will be caught by the plot and won't be alble to let it down. When Hoover discovers his daughter has reincarnated in Ivy, tries to let out her personality to have her back. Would you let him near your daughter?
