I'll be honest, I really struggled with this book. I didn't like Sydney much - but I really liked the stranger (I'd like to know more about him - he reminded me of Leonard from Big Bang Theory (don't ask me why). I felt sorry for Sydney because he had no memories to ground him, no friends to care for him and he doesn't seem to have a purpose in life. There is a mystery involved but it took about 1/2 of the book to start finding out what the true mystery is (and it's not Sydney's amnesia - sorta) and then to find out about someone who is playing with Sydney's life through the ability to hack into his computer and "watch" Sydney.... I think you get the idea.
On a positive note: this book is very well written and Rebecca has the intellect and skill to write a book like this - and 2 more sequels as well. While I struggled with the book I have a feeling books 2 and 3 will not be quite as unsettling (mainly because I'll be expecting this kind of book) and perhaps more questions will be answered. If you like unusual books (with sarcastic & mysterious/suspicious undertones) I suggest checking this one out from the library or purchasing one through Amazon
