Thrilling. Somehow, the final scenes are not impressive - the usual. There is ongoing adaptation of this book to the film. Nicole Kidman is playing the role of main character - Christine. Let's see how it'll turned out, although in my view, the type of Nicole Kidman does not fit for the role of Christine.

I have wanted to read this book for a long time and I was satisfied with this novel. It is a great dramatic thriller that I had to finish reading. Would make a great read for someone going on vacation.

Definitely a page turner. Once I started it, I had to finish it without putting it down.

Christine suffered a terrible trauma at twenty-seven, and now twenty years later she is still suffering the consequences. Every day she wakes up with no memory of the previous days. She doesn't know her husband, her house or herself. The story is told primarlily in journal form and really draws you along to see and learn what comes next. With her desperate searching for knowledge, she learns about her life, and each day renews that knowledge by reading her journal. The mystery surrounding her life and the trauma that left it a blank becomes clearer and clearer. Great read. I couldn't put it down, even though I did figure out what had happened and what had to happen.

Interesting. Twist in the ending. Needs editing to tighten the pace.

Alright but not fabulous. Too predictable.

I read through this in one setting - the story just pulls you in! It was like a mix of Emma Donoghue's Room and Lisa Genova's Left Neglected (with some 50 First Dates thrown in). When it comes to suspense books I don't begrudge them for a disappointing ending as long as I enjoyed the rest of the story. But I found the ending of this book to be very satisfying.

There were never going to be any happy endings for me. I know that now. But that is all right.
