Review: Not a Whole Book
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2013
I opened this book because I wanted something interesting that would keep me reading for a few days.  I found this story delightful, the characters real and engaging, and was drawn almost immediately into the plot.The plot, yes, well, it might be different from what I originally thought.Anyway, Christie and Austin are very best friends.  Austin is a gifted, brainy fellow, and Christie is an emotional, feeling kind of person.  Both have amnesia.  Christie's new life began when she was thirteen, in an orphanage.  That was where she met Austin.  She is seventeen, just starting out in the world.Austin introduced Christie to a hidden storeroom, part of the hospital complex, but probably completely unknown by the hospital, since it's full of junk.But Christie gets trapped under some of the debris, and is certain her life is over.As it turns out, it may be, but not because of being trapped by debris.  As the story goes on, she gets trapped by something completely unexpected.  Austin does too.And then the story ends.The only way to find out what's really going on is to get the next book.  Since I hate cliffhangers, I doubt I will ever buy another book by this author, but not because of his writing.  Rather, I feel manipulated.So, if you don't mind cliffhangers, and are willing to buy all four in the series, I doubt you'll be disappointed, even though I only read the first book, well, sort of a book.  More of an introduction, really.I would have given the book five stars, but knocked off two stars for the poor ending.
