I downloaded this ages ago but never got around to it. However noticed it's now a movie and I generally prefer to read first... So I did.
It took me a while to get into but I did enjoy it once I did. The story is about a woman who suffers from a form of amnesia, where every morning she wakes up not knowing where she is, or anything about her current life. Think a serious and dark version of '50 first dates' if you have seen that movie.
You can tell from the beginning really that the story will have some twists, you can feel the truth lurking below the surface of what she knows. However I still found the twists surprising when they did happen. I won't hint at them Here though!
Anyways, I did enjoy the story, not one I would rave and read 6 times over but still worth a read, and I will happily check out the movie on Netflix now :)
I would give the book 7/10

I read this when it first came out. I've not seen the movie, but I'd like to compare it to the book. I had a very clear picture of Christine and Nicole Kidman isn't too different. But I had Ben as darker and more brooding. The house as a suburban semi. I was a book I had to keep reading and I finished it in a very short time - so I read it again!
A good mystery-thriller and easy to read (not many characters to remember!).
