Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson

As we have mentioned before, we welcome guest reviews! This is our first guest review emailed to us by Overton (finally). The book seems very interesting, and has received good reviews. I was hoping to receive more collaboration from Overton... but unfortunately his Kindle was destroyed by the wrath of his wife (just kidding! relax big-O). His Kindle was mangled on a camping trip but I am sure once he gets a replacement, he will be writing a review for Water For Elephants (No pressure).

Before I Go to Sleep
It's categorized as a thriller, but unless reading about a woman with amnesia waking up every day in her own bed is thrilling to you, you may be disappointed. This does not mean the book is not good, just hard to categorize. There is an exciting (maybe even thrilling) ending when everything comes together, but the middle at times seems a little plodding.

The style of the book is what is truly interesting; the book is a journal kept by Christine, one she must keep because when she goes to sleep she forgets everything that happened to her the day before. As the book progresses we realize that the life she is living may not be as mundane as it seems in the beginning. This was a fun summer read, but not anything to think about too deeply.
