:shock2: It sounds like an action packed book with many different stories intertwined into one. Just not sure it's the right one for me. I don't deal well with physiological issues. Have fun!

Latest Review: Homecoming by Jude Austin

Post by jdsatosk »

I read the book of the day sample for this book and I have to say that I was a little confused about what was going on. The sample ended with the scene where John wakes up in the hospital and finds out that the date is years in the future from his last memory and he has apparently designed the Zenith building but doesn't remember. I'm glad that this review details that this is a case of amnesia. That extra detail helped me understand what I was missing at the end of the sample. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds very interesting. It seems the main character is battling against his own amnesia. Thanks for the review.

Psychological thriller which touches on relationship and terrorism, John is a great character and the fact that he is an advocate for freedom makes me willing to read this novel. Freedom is not begged it's fought for. Awesome review BOTD

It sounds like this book has a lot going on in it! I think it is difficult to write a good psychological thriller, but it sounds like this author has pulled it off! Great review!

I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out.

This thriller novel appears to deal with some issues that are thought-provoking and should be discussed. I find myself questioning what is or isn't real frequently. Great review!

I love this type of books. When the main character has amnesia it just takes you on the ride with them and it's really exciting to try and fill the gap along with them.

I like character-driven stories because they make it easy to put yourself inside their views. Unfortunately, this #BOTD seems to focus a lot on a pessimistic viewpoint so I will pass. Your review, however, was tastefully done. Great job!

Thanks for the review. The concept of losing one's memory and not being able to comprehend the present circumstances sounds appealing.

The fact that the book is a psychological thriller with full characterization of the protagonist and his amnesia makes this a fascinating read. Excellent review!
