I had been hearing good things about this book from a very large number of my coworkers, and with the movie coming out I figured it was a good time to tackle it. What a harrowing story it turned out to be. Christine wakes up every day having completely forgotten the majority of her life before that point, next to a husband she can't remember. She has begun keeping track of the events of her days in a journal, at the encouragement of a doctor who has to call her every morning to remind her to do so. Through doing this, she has begun to piece together the last several decades of her life and, perhaps most importantly, how it is that she came to be the way she is. This turns out to be a wonderfully clever way to tease out a mystery, and is balanced with just enough sadness and fear over the very condition itself, which truly does seem terrible. I can't say anything more without giving away the plot, but trust me, you will want to read this one for yourself, as it is quite the good climax. Read it before you see the movie, you won't be disappointed.
