Remembrance Jude Deveraux Books

I read this book when it was first released and I was a lot younger (has it really been 25 years?)
There are many things I enjoyed about this book. I loved the part of the modern part of the story. There were a lot of fun, gossipy notes about the life of romance book writers and the people who read those books. When we go back to one of her previous lives, I still found the book enjoyable, with the sense of mystery and the idea of someone BEING herself in her previous life. Both of these parts of the story are told in the First Person. Then we slip back even further in this person's lives to the Renaissance time and the story shifts to Third Person. Our character is now viewing her previous life with no ability to change or control anything. The basic story is great, but there is too much repetition in the basic theme, and felt like it took a long time to get to the (tearful) conclusion of that part of the story.

I really loved the theme of Past Lives and how the main character is affected by everything that happened in previous lives. It is a little more intriguing then Time Travel (all though I LOVE "Knight In Shining Armor" also by Deveraux) I think I loved the book more the first time I read it. Aging 25 years can adjust your perspective. I would still recommend the book. There is a lot of food for thought, and it certainly makes me curious about visiting the "Past Lives Pavillon" (a reference from the movie 'Defending Your Life')

Remembrance Jude Deveraux Books Reviews

Jude is my favorite romance writer. I have tons of her books and am slowly transitioning to . I believe this may be my favorite story of hers but it is a tough call to make. Jude can make you laugh out loud on one page and then have you literally sobbing a few pages later. I can't get enough of her stories and re-read them regularly. Just make sure you have a hanky nearby when you read this!
I have read several of your books and have mostly enjoyed them. And I actually like time travel. However, I really had trouble getting into this book. A bit hard to follow, and I think it was way too long. Sorry.
I have read this book 3 or 5 times and I noe read through it to get the whole story without all the fine details. The idea of reincarnation and hypnotism for past lives is more realistic than some are aware as hypnotism is used daily in the Psychological offices of people who have specialized in that field. I laugh through the reading of at least the first 9 chapters for the humor as well as the recognition of what she says as being true. This is one of two of all the books I've read by her... the other being "A Knight in Shinning Armor" ...that I consider real classics. If you haven't read either of these, please do, and enjoy.
I have read this book at least four times and it is one of my all time favorite books. I first read it in the late 90's and lost my copy of it in a move. I have thought about it ever since. I was trying to remember the name of the book and the writer, (I read a lot of romance in the 90's) and finally found it. I cried just as much this last time, as all the other times. Who doesn't want a love story that spans lifetimes??? I highly recommend this book. The writer is intelligent, and makes you fall in love with the characters. You will not be disappointed if you have a grand romance in mind to read.
But not much. This is is the second time I have read this book and I have enjoyed it as much as I did the first, maybe more. The book sucks you in with the first page and doesn't let go until the last. The feelings the characters are experiencing are brought to life in such a way that you get irritable when they are, sad when they are and happy when they are. The only thing I could say the book needs is an epilogue. Just a small one, not too in depth but just a little one maybe a year later after the first child is born, cause you know they will have one right away. Just a little teaser to bring to a sharp focus that after centuries of waiting, the characters finally have the happy ending that they so longed and suffered for.
I hope I can make sense of my opinion of this book as I just finished reading it and am a bit torn on how I feel about it.

1st part of the book
Although I did not mind that this started in a first person view, I felt that the first part of the book took FOREVER and went on and on about things that really did not matter and the constant descriptions and stories about things just went to long..... needless to say I skipped many pages just to get through it all as I did not feel that there was a need for SO much info, which there was not as I never had to go back and see if I missed anything.

2nd part of the book
Aha, finally we are getting somewhere but soon realized that it would only last a little while and then I had to switch gears.... I wish she would have spent a little more time in this part than she did.

3rd part of the book
This being the longest portion of the book was in my opinion good and bad..... I had to switch gears and now go back to reading in 3rd person, which was a bit hard to do. This was part was very drawn out and went into, again, so many things that really could have been easily taken out. I have to say that I felt it was truly exasperating reading about Callie and Talis and seeing how they were so connected one moment and then the overreactions on his/her part, it was somewhat childish and tended to get boring and frustrating. Although I connected with them both and found them heartwarming, at the same time I was feeling that if they were able to read eachothers thoughts the way they did, why on earth were they not able to read them when it truly mattered?

We now go back to 2nd part
Again I must say that I felt cheated and would have liked this part to have been longer instead of the 1st & 3rd part being so long.....

4th part of the book
Although it was predictable to say the least it was ok at best and again felt that this would have been a fantastic read if the story had been edited and elaborated on in several places.

This was probably one of the hardest books from JD that I have ever read that took me so long to get into it and excited to read it, I felt more like it was a chore and HAD to finish it since I paid money for it. I have to stress that I did like the plot and storyline and I have always loved time travel I just feel as though something got lost in the translation and not executed in it's full potential.
