I have feelings about this book. Predominantly annoyance, because I really did not get this book and the message it tried to convey. I didn´t care about the theme of reincarnation or the philosophical musings that time is like a palimpsest, the only thing I did care about was the end after 600 excru...
Why, yes, it is appropriate that I finished this on Groundhog Day. I enjoyed all the different versions of Ursula's life. And I'm a big fan of stories about women in WWII.Library copy
I picked up 'Life After Life' in the winter a few years back. This was the first book I had read in months. At the time I was leaving a job so horrendous that I still shudder when I think about it. During my time in this hell I found I couldn't read books with the same satisfaction I usually do. E...
"There were people who saw TV dinners as the beginning of the end of civilization. (Did her robust defence of them indicate that perhaps she was of the same mind?) They obviously didn't live on their own. And really the beginning of the end of civilization had happened a long time ago. Sarajewo perh...
Read by Marguerite - Spans 1910-1965 England. A bit twee with some quaint colloquialisms. Rhythm and flow of new lives well executed. Surprising amount of depth.
I get the premise, but it was just so repetitive. I wasn't really interested enough to keep reading, especially with writing that felt very flat and kept getting in the way.
I'll be honest I really loved this book, and it's probably one of the best books I've read this year. I like the premise of redoing your life over and over till you get it right. If that's even possible, and it's really isn't a new idea. I've read other stories with this same theme, but none were qu...
Based on the plot summary, I'd have passed over "Life After Life". The idea of being endlessly reborn into the same life sounds too much like the tedium of "Groundhog Day". I've also been avoiding all those World-War-II-Is-Seventy books that want to turn this horrible period of Europe's history in...
I really, really like the concept of this book: Ursula lives and dies many times. She has premonitions that allow her to choose a different path from the one that previously killed her.Until a little over halfway through I'd say the book was okay but after that it was torture to read. I couldn't wai...
I love alternate time-line stories and this is an ultimate one. Each time she is re-born the time-line is totally different. I wish we could get "do-overs" like this for real.
