As I read the first few chapters of Before I Go to Sleep I began to get the impression that for me, this felt like an old school horror story, or as if the classic TV show the Twilight Zone had been transfered to print. The story is one of Christine Lucas, a woman with amnesia, and Ben, her husband, and finally Dr. Nash, who is secretly helping Christine, even as he studies her case. I was drawn into the story and kept picking up the book to read what would happen next. I felt Christine's emotional struggle, ups and downs, and also her suspicions and justifications. As a character, Christine is just so vulnerable. Imagine waking every day with no idea who or where you are? This is a fantastic debut novel, one that I had no idea about. Apparently it's even been made into a movie! Who knew! Definitely a novel I recommend.
