This book started off very slow to me, it was hard to get into, the main character was a total asshole in the beginning but it became action packed about halfway through. There were a lot of things in here that didn’t make sense and we’re a little bit “ Way out of left field” but everything wrapped itself up in the end.
Solid writing. Solid book.
I like the short chapters and although it was only told from one perspective which is not a favor to mind, the writing was eloquent and interesting enough to keep me entertained.

Daniel Palmer has certainly inherited his father's talent for edge of your seat suspense (Michael Palmer).

Charlie thinks he may be losing his mind. After getting fired from his own start up and accused of actions he can't remember committing, Charlie finds himself on the run and trying to clear his own name. The twist is that he's honestly not sure if he's going mad.

This was...interesting. Not entirely what I expected, too.

The main character, Charlie Giles, has everything he wants from his career. His baby, an in-car stereo system/GPS/Bluetooth THING, is about to be released, earning his company bazillions of dollars. But then Charlie starts finding notes written in his own handwriting. Notes that he has no memory of writing. And when he gatecrashes an important meeting on the recommendation of a woman claiming to be a company employee, things go from bad to worse, and Charlie doesn't know who to trust.

The psychological element of the book was fascinating. I really liked the supporting characters, especially Charlie's brother, Joe. But I found Charlie not particularly likeable for some reason that I can't pinpoint.

Still, it was a fast-paced story that kept me guessing, and I enjoyed it even if it won't be making the list of books I'll reread at some stage!
