It may have a predictable ending... But it certainly kept me engaged. I couldn't put it down.

Presque lu d'une traite ; une fois commencé, on ne peut plus s'arrêter. Néanmoins, je ne suis pas d'accord avec l'appellation de ' thriller ' et je trouve bien dommage qu'il faille arriver 50 pages avant la fin avant d'avoir un peu d'action.
La première partie est passionnante. On entre dans la vie - ou plutôt non vie, ici - de Christine Lucas, cette femme au foyer qui chaque matin se réveille sans aucun souvenir des vingt dernières années de sa vie. On apprend à la connaître, on s'attache au personnage ... Puis vient la seconde partie. Lassante. Répétitive. Et ce journal ... encore et encore. Même si j'ai trouvé l'idée excellente, elle était également beaucoup trop exploitée. Enfin arrive la troisième partie et on se dit que, oh, peut-être découvrira-t-elle ce qui a - ou plutôt qui - causé cette amnésie permanente. Mais la fin est très facilement déductible, malheureusement.
Un bon livre mais qui ne mérite donc que deux étoiles à mes yeux à cause de cette incroyable longueur et des répétitions. Bon livre de chevet.

The premise was quite interesting. Someone waking up and realizing that they have no memories of their past and then going through this ordeal every day; intrigued me a lot. When I picked the book, it felt mysterious but then somewhere in the middle it became a repetition of the same basic facts without any kind of development happening in the story. I feel that the story only came back on its track somewhere close to the end, which again didn't give me anything huge as I had already guessed a lot of things.
I really thought that I would like this book but at the end I didn't enjoy it that much.

A premissa é curiosa, bastante até e para não estragar a experiência de ninguém só direi que é um livro muito bem trabalhado na parte das viradas de mesa. Você nunca vai acertar! Dito por um fã de Agatha Christie e Doyle. S. J. Watson foi realmente perspicaz nesse livro.
