The review sounds true as one is drawn into the world of Matthias. I like stories that have you quessing right from the start. Losing your identity is like losing your life, while you are still alive. It seems like a book that will be difficult to put down.

I agree with your warning that those who are squeamish should not read this book because many of the details of the plot made me a little uneasy. I did not know what to expect from the title of the book nor the cover art, but reading your review made me interested. I think that your rating is appropriate considering the grammatical errors that were found and the abrupt character switching.

I like the sound of the beginning - waking up in a hospital with no memory of how you got there. I have to admit, I feel like this beginning has been used before in other books or TV shows but it sounds interesting nonetheless. A face transplant, however, is definitely a new concept to me. Parts of this book sound a little Bourne Identity-esque, and that it even more intriguing to me.

Thanks for the review, I will have to check this one out!

I have an image that the themes in the book contain abuse of human rights and violence. Love and affection are my prediction that is little, from the review given by the reviewer.

This sounds like a well-executed storyline. The book's premise is very imaginative and greatly developed. I think this is a wonderful book to read. I am not a book series fan, because I hate to wait for the next book to see what will happen next. Great review!

This book comes highly recommended, but after reading review I realized that it strongly reminds me f movie I wasn't particularly fond off. Unfortunately I will slip it.

I'm not usually a thriller fan but this one does seem exciting! I like the aspect of not knowing whether the doctors are telling Callaghan the truth -- keeps everyone guessing!

The start of the plot sounds pretty similar to the movie Face Off, which is why I was hesitant to read it at first. However, the book recieved many great reviews so I think I'll give it a shot!

The plot sounds incredible and right up my alley but I am wary because of the grammatical and formatting errors. I am currently reading a pretty decent book but it has the same issues and I find it pretty distracting.

Great review and very good synopsis of the book. He did a great job of telling what the book was about, but not giving away any spoilers. I read some of the book and like what I read. It's a great mystery and thriller for those who love the intrigue and subterfuge.

Mystery thriller! Count me in! Thanks for your review. Nothing like a good-paced suspense read, honestly. You seem to have enjoyed the plot development with regards to how a genre like this should be, even with the few structural drawbacks. Hence, I'm good to go with that! :D
