Customer Reviews

Good faith content!

I really liked this book. The character of Adam is what kept me reading because he is searching for his identity. Good writing! I like the little bits of humor the author used to make Adam relatable and someone who was not a flat character but had lots of personality. Also, my home state is most of the setting so there’s that. I like the author’s writing. He keeps the main thing the focus and therefore it doesn’t get bogged down. More Gilbert Morris, please. Recommend!

This is one of Morris' best.

I don't care what others say about this book, it is awesome. Adam Smith becomes a real person when you read this book. You feel for him and want him to find the answers to all his questions. It is a book with twist and turns that keeps you guessing all the way. I read it, my mom read it, my brother read it and we all loved it.

Engrossing and fast-moving

This clever story of an amnesia victim searching for his identity is full of twists and surprises. I really devoured the book, practically frantic to see what would happen next. The characterization is well done, as is the plot line. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the ending. I felt the author failed to wrap it up in a satisfying way. I can't say more without giving away the ending. I'm not at all saying that the ending was disappointing; just that it could have all been tied up a little better with all the characters.

I couldn't put it down!

Yes, you may be surprised at the type of writing, and check to see if you have a Gilbert Morris book, but it's true. Even though it's different than his normal style of writing, I enjoyed it very much. The suspense kept me reading to find out how it would turn out. Enjoy!

Interesting Reading

Gilbert Morris leaves his usual writing style and genre in this book, and gives his readers a refreshing change. The plot idea was very clever, but was not unfolded as much as it might have been. The main character is a sufferer of amnesia, and though many of his reactions to re-discovering life are realistic, some are forced and stale. Details and discriptions are extremely true to life.
