Story4.5 out of 5 stars 218
Abandoned by her family, alone on the wrong side of the color line with little to call her own, Eliza Meeks is coming to terms with what she does have. It’s a gift for communicating with animals. To some, she’s a magical tender. To others, a she-devil. To a talent prospector, she’s a crowd-drawing oddity. And the Bacchanal Carnival is Eliza’s ticket out of the swamp trap of Baton Rouge. Among fortune-tellers, carnies, barkers, and folks even stranger than herself, Eliza finds a new home. But the Bacchanal is no ordinary carnival. An ancient demon has a home there too.

Publisher's Summary
“For fans of The Matrix and Memento, a twisty, exciting adventure!” (Diana Gabaldon, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Outlander series)
The basis for the major motion picture Infinite
Discovered as three notebooks in an antique store in Rome at the turn of the millennium, The Reincarnationist Papers offers a tantalizing glimpse into the Cognomina, a secret society of people who possess total recall of their past lives.
Evan Michaels struggles with being different, with having the complete memories of two other people who lived sequentially before him. He fights loneliness and believes he is unique until he meets Poppy. She recognizes his struggle because she is like him, except that she is much older, remembering seven consecutive lives. But there is something else she must share with Evan - she is a member of the secretive Cognomina. They are, in effect, immortals - compiling experiences and skills over lifetimes into near superhuman abilities that they have used to drive history over centuries.
Poppy invites Evan into the Cognomina, but he must face their tests before entering this mysterious society as their equal.

Lost myself in it
As I sat here crocheting a triangle shawl, promising myself to go only so far then pause, I listened deeply. I became lost from the room surrounding me. Time was no longer of value and its restraints no longer bound me. I love the metaphysics of reincarnation and views set forth in this book. Im ready for new trips to come and hope they will.

Entertaining
If you can entertain the premise of reincarnation, and not be offended by consideration and negative reviews of faith based religions, not to mention references to drug use and explicit sexuality, then you will be in a position to appreciate what the story does well. The narration is good, and I enjoyed the footnotes, even though who knows if they are actually authentic. In any case, they do little to distract from the suspenseful plot. If you enjoy historical fiction, you should like this. I hope that there are sequels which one would only expect from the premise. I wouldn’t worry too much about what others say about the ending, since indeed it makes perfect sense in light of the idea of reincarnation. It’ll be interesting to see if the people who produce this as a film will resist the temptation to change it.

Slower than evolution
After following the hero all the way to Europe, I decided to not waste anymore time on this decidedly unthrilling thriller. The characters kept me invested at first, and the realism of the early—but prolonged—account of am arson-for-hire scheme, while not exactly gripping was comparable to the writing found in above average crime fiction. Once the hero (literally) falls into the main story arc involving reincarnation, the narrative turns slow as Sunday afternoon at a rest home. The reincarnation mythology, as it was shaping up where I gave up, is not compelling or inventive, and lacks any sense of menace. The author’s writing style shows promise, but needs tightening, sentence for sentence, and pacing and plotting could be sharper. It’s not my place to tell a writer what to write, but I can’t help but think the early set-up, the characters, and the book overall would have been better served in the absence of the supernatural subject matter, which seems to draw the author away from his natural strengths as a storyteller

An essay on the virtues of nihilism
God is dead, hedonism is the apex of virtue, and suicide is as close to divinity as humans can aspire.
The author assumes that imperfect existence proves the absence of the divine, but concludes that his own consciousness is proof that humans transcend mere causality. He is then forced to conclude that continued awareness beyond physical death would eventually become torture. So, in the end, nothing matters, and there is no escape.

Unique Story
I loved every moment of the story, I just wish it were longer. The ending was a bit abrupt, like maybe there will be a part two.

Thought provoking, well performed and interesting premise.
This story has an interesting premise that allows the inclusion of a bit of philosophy of life. The story and presentation keeps the listener engaged and the philosophical elements are presented quickly enough that they don’t distract.
My only criticism is that the description of the arson fire is a little too long.

Simply fabulous in its simplicity and mundanity. More please!
There is something about a fantastic tale told in the mundane manner of the real world that makes that tale more believable to me. Science fiction and fantasy that I can imagine possible to exist because of the abundance of the mundane in the telling without all the spectacle and suspension of disbelief is a delight.
I do love my fantastic tales with all the visual and mind-bending twists and turns of new worlds. However these stories told so plainly and poignantly really stick with me and resonate.
This tale of immortality/reincarnation will stay with me a long while. I do hope the author is as prolific as his characters and stays with this story telling a very long time.
Oh yeah…totally worth your time and credit. The voice actor is amazing and painted a wonderful picture of each character. Well done!

Good story with a touch of history
after reading some reviews I was hesitant after some people disliked the ending... after listening to the book which is very hard to "put down".. the ending was perfect... could not see how it could have been written any better. Character development for all characters is very good and easy to follow. like the little touch of history and short breaks from author.. like he is not really writing this story but writing biography of the main character... would recommend ....

Needed severe editing and... A plot. Skip this!
Hey, so remember that first part of Harry Potter where he learns he's a wizard, goes to hogwarts, and gets sorted? What if that was the entire book. Like, no character development. No greater understanding of the universe. No grand quest.
...Almost nothing happens in this book, which includes several graphic sex scenes but no cursing, which is frigging weird, because if you just remove those few scenes this is a PG rated book.
I'm entirely confused why anyone would make a movie out of this nonsense. The quote/review by the author of Outlander is 100% garbage, because there's zero action and nothing computer related (so it's not like the matrix at all) and there are stories told of stuff that already happened, but they're entirely irrelevant to the nothing plot that's going on, and there's no mystery involved. (So it's entirely unrelated to Memento.)
I really kept waiting for stuff to happen. I kept waiting for there to be a payoff. It's not there.
For reference I just listened to Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson and that's pretty slow in the beginning, but it takes those slow parts and uses them to great use later. This is not that.
I can't imagine who likes this book unless you're like "oh wow, reincarnation! Golly I've never heard about that before!"
