Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Welcome to Christine’s life.
Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle- aged face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-seven years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.
But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities—tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life—and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?
Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more un- believable it seems.
Before I Go to Sleep is the astonishing, haunting debut novel from newcomer S J Watson. Likened to a literary mash-up of Memento, Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Before I Go to Sleep will touch everyone who reads it.
书封皮上有一只恐慌地睁大的眼睛,绝似惊悚片海报,很衬这个直白的书名。拿到这本书后,拆开包装纸、站在书桌前读,读到将近一百页时接电话,奉旨出门陪人吃饭,临走前把书塞进书包。青烟缭绕的烤肉店,我在角落座位坐下,在吃烤培根/烤牛柳/沙拉/蛋糕的过程中,我隔一会儿就催...

havent read anything that is so boring......
评分毫無懸念,比較無聊
评分這是我第一次在看電影前先看書 女主全是內心戲應該很適閤Nichol Kidman 故事很精彩 中間日記微囉嗦
评分最失敗的部分是結尾,比如Dr Nash這個角色為何從最後幾部分開始便瞬間變成打醬油的瞭?結尾處對一些謎團的解釋也差強人意,Ben如果還愛女主角為何幾個月都不去看望?連自己前妻被人從看護所接走幾個月都不知情?電影版據說將幾個月變成瞭幾年,那邏輯上就更成問題瞭。。。感覺作者的構思並不完整,所以結尾就成瞭現在這個差強人意的樣子。
评分每次睡覺前就會有橡皮擦擦掉記憶,起床時記憶盒子空空如也,赤裸如嬰兒齣生,該是多可怕,到底要相信誰,我是誰
