A quick story on the nature of memory and mortality, and the philosophy of memory and predeterminism, this is a nice little story that straddles the neurological with the psychological, the mystical with the philosophical.
Definitely a thought provoking book. One that will need several re-reads to get more out of it but a great change from what I usually read.
The whole of the book is not great - the middle is filled with somewhat pretentious philosophical histories - but it ends so well I can't help but feel positively about it.
