Hey All,
I was at Borders recently, just looking around in the YA section. And I came across a cover and a title that catched my eye - The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan. The riveting cover drew me closer, if it were possible the book was whispering "Read me." in a sense. So I read the plot on the back of the thick paper back book and this is what it said:
CHARLIE WEST JUST WOKE UP IN SOMEONE ELSE'S NIGHTMARE.
And if that bold text statement wasn't enough to grab me, then this next blurb certainley did:
"He's strapped to a chair. He's covered in blood and bruises. He hurts all over. And a strange voice outside the door just ordered his death.
The last thing he can remember, he was a normal high-school kid doing normal things - working on his homework, practicing karate, daydreaming of becoming an air force pilot, writing a pretty girl's number on his hand. How long ago was that? Where was he now? Who is he really?
And more to the point . . . how is he going to get out of this room alive.?"
At that point, I was hooked, and I had to buy it. I have yet to read it, but I have feeling that it's going to be a great read. This is a quote from TheDailyBeast.com - "A thriller that reads like a teen version of 24 . . . an adrenaline-pumping adventure."
I suggest you guys get this book...or at least rent it and give it a try.
Happy reading guys!!
God Bless,
Shawn
