This was a strange book, again one that B&N wanted me to review, so I persevered. There are two past histories that to me were unnecessary. Meer Logan is the main character, with her father playing a secondary role. She is bound to her past, which jumps out and enslaves her. There is supposedly a flute made from the bone of one of Beethoven's friends which has lots of inscriptions on it. One of the characters wants to blow up the theatre where a concert of Beethoven is taking place. Another has a young son who is enslaved by his own mind. Also, except for the maddening flashbacks, it takes place in Vienna. This was every bit as good as the first book, though its been a while since I read the first one, so I spent a long time wondering if the reporter, David Yalom, was the protagonist from the first book. This book (series) has such an interesting subject/story line, and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series. It kept my eyes glued to the pages, wondering what will happen next - always good when reading a book.
What do You think about The Memorist (2008)?
Very good! MJ Rose is a great writer. Tight but flows really well, if that makes sense.

Better than The Reincarnationist, but not as good as The Book of Lost Fragrances.

A good story to read on holiday. Easy read, interesting story line.

At times, this book made me sleepy, but I'm glad I read it.
