Another fine mess
Another fine mess rated it 13 years ago
Mixed bag.The narrator's dread and dislocation--waking every day with all recent history erased--was compelling. There's a better book buried here, one that zeroes in on Christine and the implications of such cycles of loss. And Watson is quite effective at capturing his protagonist as more than a...

Loved this! Intense and intriguing, similar to the premise of the movie 50 First Dates as far as the memory thing, but much deeper. Full review later.
Titles are so hard to come up with...
I couldn't put it down - she kept me guessing until the end. Eerie and thought-provoking. Loved it!

Recommended by a friend, it was an enjoyable quick read with hints of Stephen King's unreality and Oliver Sachs' medical mysteries.

So I give this one 3.5 stars. It wasn't as much as "thriller" as I would have liked, but was still an enjoyable read. , I guessed early on that her husband "Ben" was behind her "accident", but I confess that I really thought he was Ben.

I loved the details the author put in the writing as he described everything Christine saw as if she was a small child experiencing life for the first time. The suspense was not the "end-of-you-seat" susp...

This was a really good read! I have to admit it started out a bit slow for me but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Intriguing, suspenseful, terrifying, exciting and heartbreaking all at the same time. In "Before I Go to Sleep", we meet Christine, whose woken up (like every day) and doesn't know where...

Holy crap. One of the blurbs called it "Memento on crack." Uh yeah, gotta agree with that. Totally enjoyed it.

I can overlook a lot of bogus-tude for a good story, but this one exceeded my implausibility tolerance threshold. The analytical portion of my brain wants to give this an even lower rating, but it did hold my interest, so I have to be fair. It has a sinister edge that keeps you reading---at least un...
