Oh man... I just spent the last 5 minutes reading the description and reviews of
To Live Again by Lurlene Mcdaniel on Amazon. The whole time I'm like... where the heck is the reincarnation part. This isn't what I'm looking for at all! And then I read a review which said that this book is great for any girl ages 12 to 112. At that point I realized it was the right title, wrong author! Haha.
Silverberg's
To Live Again sounds like it has the same premise as
I Shall Fear No Evil, but more so. Thats not to say it is not a good book, but its not exactly what I'm looking for.
A Man with Nine Lives doesn't have any description on Amazon, so I can't tell what its about. Could you summarize the premise in a sentence or three?
Dave, I saw a movie on TV recently about a black man who died before his time, then was taken back by an angel to inhabit the body of a rich white man, only instead of a boxer he was comedian. I think this was a comedy spinoff of
Heaven Can Wait.
To really narrow down what I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a story about a person suddenly finds himself as a newborn/baby. Basically the person gets to grow up again, but with all the knowledge and experience of his or her past life. No brain transplants or switching bodies with other people... I mean reincarnation as in born again as a new person.
As I mentioned before,
Replay by Ken Grimwood is very similar to what I'm looking for, but where the protagonist starts from the beginning of their life and gets to experience being a child with the insights and worldviews of an adult. I'd prefer if the person started as again with a different body (and therefore look forward to a totally different life than they lived previously) but I'd settle for the same body/life, but very early in their development.
Do you understand what I mean?
I realize I'm being very particular here, but I don't want you guys to keep pointing out books and me keep saying, "No, no, not quite."
Thanks again
