I wanted to like this book - really, I did. It just didn't flow right, and everything was in the wrong place. Besides, I thought the book would be more interesting, but instead I got a poorly written book.

ryner's review against another edition

2.0

All her life, high school senior Amy Delatour has had "dreaming true" sequences, moments or dreams in which she seems to be channeling scenes from a previous lifetime. Her new English teacher, Mr. Stone, is interested in using hypnosis to dig deep into her subconscious in order to determine the source of and possibly resolve Amy's past inner conflict.

I was engaged in this short novel for the first half, but then it simply became uninteresting. Everything was resolved just a bit too pat for my tastes. Definitely not one of Seton's better works.
