This seems to be a very intriguing thriller which begins with the anonymous patient waking up in a hospital room with very little knowledge about himself and his situation. This is a book that will make you want to read further to solve the puzzle. The pace is also steady and isn't stagnating at any point.

Very nice and thorough review. Mystery/Thriller not usually my genre, but have decided maybe I need to take off the limits and open up to a few different book categories. Gruesome is not something I like at all and I am not to sure about reading this one. We will see. Thank you for your review, it is great.
There is nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

This sounds like a very intriguing read, and I'm very interested as to how the character is described as having re-gained his memories. Definitely one to add to my reading list.

Thank you for the great review of this book and the warning. I must be one of those squeamish ones you mentioned because I was absolutely horrified at learning that when his bandages were removed that all of his fingers and thumbs had been cut off. I can not imagine how anyone could rise above this and find peace in life. I don't particularly like this genre and while I did download my free copy I suspect I won't read it.

A brilliant review! It works on me. I really can't wait to read more of this in the future because I want to know what is judgment is more like. Is he really about him or humanity?

Thank you for your review. I will admit this book had me intrigued at first glance. I could see this being made into a movie or something similar. After reading your review, I found myself not liking this book as much as I did at first. So I think for the time being, I'm going to walk away and maybe come back to this another time. :tiphat:

Sounds like an intriguing story with much suspense along the way. I hope the writer can keep it interesting throughout the 7 series.

I can not imagine waking up and and not recognizing myself. Then looking at my hands and noticing I don't have any fingers. Yikes! This is a unique and unusual plot. Unfortunately, I am not interested in it, but thanks for your great review.

While this sounds like an interesting book, mysteries and thrillers aren’t real high on my list to read. A thorough editing would make me more likely to read it, especially concerning the discrepancies in point of view.

Sounds like a fascinating book. A man who wakes up in a hospital and he is told he is rich. You can't stop wondering if people are telling you the truth. I can't wait to read that part.

The notion of having amnesia and a different face reminds me of a movie I watched years ago ("Shattered", starring Tom Berenger). That was many many years ago, but obviously it had an impact on me, to remember it. And so I am super interested in where this book will take us. How fascinating. Thanks!

Thank you for your great review! The whole story sounds amazing...except for the face transplant part. I just can't get over that. I don't know if it sounds too sci-fi, too unbelievable, or what. I'd read the story if not for this detail.
