The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan Theatergirl17 336 Pages

Charlie is confused. He wakes up one day, strapped to a chair, welts and bruises all over his body. "Where am I?", he thinks. He stops, hearing muffled voices at the door, "kill him." That is all Charlie needs to hear to spring into action. Charlie is a black belt in karate, so he is experienced in self defense. When two men come through the door, Charlie cleverly escapes out the window. He is chased into a forest where he finds do or die situations. When he gets through to the other side, he is confused. He, Charlie West, was tried and convicted of the murder of Charlies best friend, Alex, last year. He has no recollection of the past year, but nobody belives him. In the end, he is faced with a situation only he can stop, and he risks everything to do it. And all the while he's thinking, "what is the last thing I remember?"

This book didn't do much for me. Once I read the first 50 pages, I felt the need to light it on fire. All I could see were real time seconds that dragged on and on, a very confusing plot that switched from year to year every chapter. The writing was choppy and repetitive, and the characters were boring and dull. Very unrealistic. As I read on and on, It became a bit better, because his memories apperead less often. I think the memories from the last day were the worst part and were very unnecesary. And I love endings with good cliffhangers, but this was this ending was to sudden, as if someone came up to the book and chopped it in half. To sum it all up, not my favorite book.
