Amnesia by Peter Carey
3.0
Thank you to Goodreads First Reads for providing me with a free copy of Amnesia.
Peter Carey is always a hit and miss author for me. I love his vivid, muscular prose and the way he brings a setting to life but sometimes have trouble engaging with his characters and plots. This proved true for Amnesia as well. While Felix, the beaten down journalist and Gaby,the cyberpunk activist, were intermittently interesting, the plot was noir-ishly murky and ultimately not as interesting as the blurb seemed to promise.
