The plot: Amnesiac Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) can't explain why he's been found at the scene of a murder. Ordered to a mental hospital, Jack is subjected to Dr. Thomas Becker's (Kris Kristofferson) unusual treatment plan, which involves mysterious injections, sensory deprivation and confinement in a straitjacket. Locked away on his own, Jack discovers he can travel to the future, where he's compelled to help a onetime acquaintance (Keira Knightley) and investigate his own odd fate.
It does has a really good cast, it is a slow pace film in the beginning but does pick up in the middle.
So overall a good psychological thriller.

I am a sucker for a fast paced, action packed, Christmas story and boy does Mary Alford deliver it in spades with this book. From the first page to the last I was enthralled by the plot, the characters, and the Christmas theme. While a little over the dramatic (not very dramatic, just a few instances that fit well with the story line), I enjoyed the characters struggles and the underlying message of God being able to forgive all our sins no matter how big or small. Definitely a good read and Mary Alford is a new to me author that I will look for in the future.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

To say the book focuses on and around teenagers it's anything but aimed purely at young folk. If it hadn't have been for references to age I would have spent most of the book thinking I was reading about early twenty-something's.
There's plenty of magic and fraught situations that had me almost holding my breath and wishing that I could perform magic.
I enjoyed journeying with Porter (The Gatekeeper's son/future Gatekeeper) and his cousin Ames. It was nice seeing how each of them grew throughout and gained a better understanding of each other and themselves. Especially learning self belief and trusting their new friends.
A good fantasy that will keep you and your mini mes entertained and enthusiastic for an adventure.
