Been there done that

Gene Wolfe did the same thing 20 years ago with his SOLDIER OF THE MIST and the subsequent novels of the same series. Wolfe did it first, and he did a much better job.

huh sound like the movie memento as well

Does this necessarily mean that it isn't a good book though? You can say that about most books I guess - original ideas are hard to find.

Agree with Rachel. What I liked was that the book really drew me in. I liked the main character, and felt her pain & confusion as she struggled with piecing together her past. Tension? Yes, I felt it. The writing transcended its basis (Memento; amnesia theme; suspense genre, etc.)--at least in my opinion.
