Review of 'My Name is Memory' on 'Goodreads'

2.5 Stars. I am highly disappointed. The name of the author of "The sisterhood of the traveling pants" is written on the book but I can't find her loveable storytelling in it. What was missing: the feeling. The connection to the characters. Good characters. Plot. I mean: the idea was great. I'm a fan of reincarnation stories but this was a really bad one. And the end - what shall I say? It came very abrupt and suddenly. It literally screams for a second part (which seems not to come).

Good point: the German cover of this book is really beautiful! (Bookshelf-candy:))
