Before I go to sleep by S.J Watson is an interesting book on Memories and how memories define us."So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Your name your identity, your past even the people you love - all forgotten overnight. And the one person you trust may only be telling you half...
I liked this book, but I didn't love it. Christine was in an accident of some sort years ago and now has no short term memory and most of her long term memory is gone. She wakes up every day and is surprised to find she's middle-aged, married, and completely confused about where she is. She's bee...
maybe more like 4.5/5very good and suspenseful. not like the usual books I read but highly enjoyable. I knew what the twist was but I couldn’t work the whole thing out until almost to the end. I had it but not quite. I loved that. I loved guessing throughout the whole book. But, I also loved ...
If you have ever seen 50 First Dates where the woman has amnesia and every night she forgets everything that has happened that day, well this book is kind of like the movie but instead of a loving family Christine does not know who to trust, not even herself.I have to say I liked it. I thought it wa...
Last year, I read something like three books featuring main characters with a traumatic brain injury that caused them to forget parts of their past. I'm sort of over that theme, but there was so much buzz about this book that I decided to get over myself and read this one. From the first chapter, ...
What to say about this book? Given the nature of Christine’s fragile character—her amnesia, her state of mind—it’s difficult for me to say too much of what I think without spilling some spoilers. I’ll give it a go:Watson’s beginning set-up of Before I Go To Sleep is constructed in such a way that I ...
Heads up: contains some graphic sexual content, violence, and swearing------------This was an incredibly intense story, much more so than I had expected. It's the fictional journal of a woman with amnesia that causes her to lose access to her short-term memory after going to sleep each night, which...
This book is a genuine mind trip that had me hooked right to the end. The repetition, which was necessary since the narrator was the one with daily memory loss, was a little tiresome at times. The writer had a very clear sense of how he wanted to develop the characters and it was quite clever. I rea...
In a sentence or so: Imagine every morning you wake up twenty years older than you were the day before. You live in a house you don't know, with a man you don't know, with a past you can't remember. This is Christine's life.Christine wakes up every day with no memory of the past twenty years of her ...
The premise of this book is quite interesting. Forgetting your past and trying to figure out your life every day must be worth writing a book about. But, the characters being extremely unbelievable, and the absolute predictability of the plot made the reading experience a boring one. However, I gave...
