A bit long and somewhat self-indulgent, I would still recommend Amnesiac if you’re looking for something new to read. The story was truly a trip down memory lane – all the talk about memories invariably led me to think of my own. I can relate to all the existentialist thinking by the protagonist and enjoyed the thought process that the book followed, even if I admittedly skimmed some of the wordier parts. I also appreciated the use of different fonts and absence of chapter numbers to delineate the different perspectives. All in all, it was an enjoyable read, even if the last third was a bit predictable. The middle of the book reminded me of Lost – there were clues everywhere and you start to look for connections between seemingly mundane facts. The main thing is that it is a unique enough book for me to recommend. Let me know what you think.
