I don't think I've ever read a book like this! Living with the face of a stranger sounds quite disconcerting, and it's nice that the author did her research on this particular surgery and situation. I agree with you; the opening pages made me want to read more. Thanks for the review!

While I appreciate your detailed review, this book doesn't sound like it's for me. Although it sounds a bit like a mystery, I am just not sure about it. Thanks for sharing your review with us. I am sure this book will fascinate others.

The author mentioned in the preview that the British style of writing which includes putting the comma after the quotation marks was used, so I wouldn't count that against him. The changing person perspective would bother me though.

This book has an intriguing storyline. Waking up from a coma with a new face, amputated hand, and amnesia must be depressing. At this point, if that happens to me, I couldn't be able to trust anyone. I'd love to know more about the rest of the story. Could the character solve the mystery behind the incident? What if there is another person who betrays him? Thank you for a nice review.

The mystery about the lost identity and the suspense of the revenge plot looks intriguing. The story seems to explore betrayal, trust, and vengeance. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

This book has an intriguing storyline that keeps readers captivated and intrigued to progress. The pace was a nice example of one that reveals information gradually, so as to keep the reader engrossed to turn the page, but not to where the story became static and languid to travel through. I could really sense things from Callaghan's perspective- his novel need to readjust, the confusion from waking up in a strange place and being told something that he really has no idea of whether or not it is true. Very good representations of betrayal and trust that the reader can honestly and sincerely relate to.

A man wakes up from coma with amnesia and with no fingers. He starts to question people around him about who he is and what happened to him. Was he able to find out the truth about himself? Thanks for the detailed review, it makes me more interested in the book. Congratulations on BOTD.

This book is vert interesting, it is a mystery thriller history. The author speak about Mr Callaghan and the different adventures. We know that is a mistake for Mr Callaghan but we become afraid when he is face to face with Russian mafia. Mr Callaghan and his wife try to be positive about their life and stay quiet to progress. Mr Callaghan get a strange situation different from his real life when he is in Comma also. Many thanks for a beautiful review.

A fair review. From the sampled pages of this book the plot is an easy to understand, flowing storyline of a mystery thriller.
I felt that the reviewer failed to consider the introduction by the author who stated that the writing was formatted in British style. Had this been considered the observation of the commas after quotations may not be relevant to this review.
Based on this review however I am ever more eager to unravel the mystery behind Matthias' "accident" and anticipate the revenge. Congratulations to the Author and the BOTD for another fantastic selection!

I can only imagine how disoriented Matthias must have felt after waking up in a strange environment. I would be able to unravel the other mysteries when I explore the book. Thrillers always make an interesting read but your review was very compelling. Congratulations on BOTD.
