Acerca de esta escucha

A wildly imaginative novel about a man who is reincarnated over 10,000 lifetimes to be with his one true love: Death herself.

First we live. Then we die. And then...we get another try?

Ten thousand tries, to be exact. Ten thousand lives to "get it right". Answer all the big questions. Achieve wisdom. And become one with everything.

Milo has had 9,995 chances so far and has just five more lives to earn a place in the cosmic soul. If he doesn't make the cut, oblivion awaits. But all Milo really wants is to fall forever into the arms of Death. Or Suzie, as he calls her.

More than just Milo's lover throughout his countless layovers in the Afterlife, Suzie is literally his reason for living - as he dives into one new existence after another, praying for the day he'll never have to leave her side again.

But Reincarnation Blues is more than a great love story: Every journey from cradle to grave offers Milo more pieces of the great cosmic puzzle - if only he can piece them together in time to finally understand what it means to be part of something bigger than infinity. As darkly enchanting as the works of Neil Gaiman and as wisely hilarious as Kurt Vonnegut's, Michael Poore's Reincarnation Blues is the story of everything that makes life profound, beautiful, absurd, and heartbreaking.

Because it's more than Milo and Suzie's story. It's your story, too.

WAY more intense / disturbing than I expected

Brilliant story and great, non-distracting narration. However, most of Milo's earth lives (particularly the future / dystopian ones) are extremely disturbing. I wasn't prepared for this based on the description or other reviews. I loved the concept, the message, the characters and the writing. But I also had nightmares. Read at your own risk.

I'm still so confused

I liked the premise of reincarnation. I do not like how the book time jumped back and forth so much.

The performance was the best I've ever heard any one narrate.

There is one brief incident of animal cruelty and torture. It's not overly detailed but I felt it was worth mentioning.

Simply fantastic!

The worst part of a book like this is finishing it and knowing it will be awhile before you find another of its' like.

With dark, intelligent humour, and what could be dozens of short stories all linked to a common goal, Poore weaves a tale spanning the ages, with our hero Milo only wanting to find his everlasting paradise with the grim reaper, Death, his girlfriend Suzie.
Filled with pop culture references, wit and charm, there aren't many books that I've found like this. In fact, it is now strongly in my top ten, or maybe top five.

Each chapter represents a new and vastly different life - from 5000 BC to the fourth millénium, in the far reaches of space, from being a tree, a turtle, murderr and a coloniser of planets. Each chapter is loaded with adventure, and definitely holds one's interest. In fact, as each chapter neared it's end, I was apprehensive and wished that that story-line could go on, but was always happy to follow Milo into the next stage of his journey through his multiple lives.

This book is highly recommended.

A beautiful love in magical realism

I have not been so moved by a book in so long, as I have by this one. The story is magical, delightful, and all out beautiful. The narrator, Mark Bramhall, gives this story a depth that it deserves. And, Michael Poore, this book should make its way through the ages as a classic story of love, evolution of the mind, and introspective journey of understanding.

Best novel - of the year.

What fantastic wit, dry humor all the while being deep without trying to be. Who would have thought that death would be so much fun. The narrator is great, just amazing too.

A book I’ll never forget

This book is something I regularly think about on a weekly basis. It’s powerful, funny, with many tales wrapped into one larger picture. It will make you think about your own life once or twice, in the best possible way.

Fun and Irreverent

Imaginative and fun. Also pretty insane at times. Highly recommend skipping the final chapter though, it really drags.

Unique, heartwarming and funny

This was a really different mode of storytelling, and it was beautifully executed. There were some parts that felt off to me, enough to throw me out of the story a bit, but I was absorbed enough not to want to quit. Mark Bramhall was excellent as always (he’s why I picked the book). He handled the different voices very well and really embraced the sweetness of the story without being cloying in any way, like he had a universal view of Milo’s choices and a matter-of-fact forgiveness for them. Which is perfectly the tone of the book.

Great listen - but crazy chronology. Needs repair

Story was funny, reader was perfect. However - Chapter 21 on the recording was a repeat of Chapter 1. There is no Chapter 21. Chapter 25 repeats itself in Chapter 26, and each subsequent chapter is off. The missing Chapter 26 was important to the story line (I had to go out and buy the book.) In Chapter 22 (23?), the recording had numerous hiccups and blurbs. I just continued and eventually it stopped.

Can you please correct this recording? I'd really like to listen again.

Just... Inspiring

This book is rather unique, and I don't think I've ever read anything like it. The idea is really interesting, and the diction was lovely. Mark Bramhall's voice, at first, was a bit much, but I got use to it fast and I loved the different accents he used throughout the book. If you aren't into the idea of being Reincarnated, it's probably not the book for you, but I will say if you don't come away from this book wondering if you're living your life the best way you can, you might want to listen to it again.
