Although, this saga is about the loss of memory, it has the sad element of living on the edge. This is a tragic tale of how a moddern society  too often handles unfortunate lives. Funny, I thought for a moment I was reading a Dickin's novel. Futile endless job searches, unhelpful helpers, creation of a permanent underclass... I guess I'm getting carried away. I think you get the drift. Now, as for the story, it does have an unusual twist and turn. Actually, it made me rethink some of the characters' past interactions with unexpected revelations. For example, I was ready to critique how aggressive Nate was toward Conner upon first meeting( Nate impulsively kisses Conner after a memory group meeting). However, given later information I revised my view by seeing a  subconscious element. Admittedly, some passages could have had a bit more clarity. Confusion started occurring when Nate was unable to figure out his identity.Perhaps, too much was going on at once and I became lost in some of it. Alright, the bottom line? Would I read this again? No. But, it does keep you curious to continue to the end. Surely, you can't beat the price. It's not super but not that bad.
