  ) GUITETF | Nov 25, 2012 |  Un très bon moment ! http://ouistilit.blogspot.fr/2012/05/avant-daller-dormir-de-sj-watson.html ( ) addy | Apr 12, 2012 | À la suite d un accident survenu une vingtaine d années plus tôt, Christine est aujourd hui affectée d un cas très rare d amnésie : chaque matin, elle se réveille en croyant être une jeune femme célibataire ayant la vie devant elle, avant de découvrir qu elle a en fait 47 ans et qu elle est mariée depuis vingt ans. Son dernier espoir réside dans son nouveau médecin, Ed Nash. Celui-ci lui a conseillé de tenir un journal intime afin qu elle puisse se souvenir de ce qui lui arrive au quotidien et ainsi reconstituer peu à peu son existence. Quand elle commence à constater de curieuses incohérences entre son journal, ce que lui dit son entourage et ses rares souvenirs, Christine est loin de se douter dans quel engrenage elle va basculer. Très vite elle va devoir remettre en question ses rares certitudes afin de faire la vérité sur son passé... et sur son présent. Ne le dis à personne, d Harlan Coben, Shutter Island, de Dennis Lehane, Tokyo, de Mo Hayder... il est des livres dont la publication marque irrémédiablement le genre et hisse leur auteur au rang des incontournables du polar. Gageons que Avant d aller dormir de S. J. Watson va tout de suite aller rejoindre ce cercle très fermé. Avec une héroïne à laquelle on s attache instantanément, un récit à la construction aussi machiavélique qu époustouflante et un suspense de tous les instants, une seule question hante l esprit du lecteur une fois la dernière page refermée : à quand le prochain Watson ? vdb | Jan 24, 2012 |  ) JasmineG | Jan 7, 2012 |
What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost? What if the body you woke up in was not the body you remember going to sleep in? What if you were oblivious to the events of the last 30 years of your life? Memories are what define all of us as people. But when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real, how do you make sense of that? Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a middle aged woman suffering from extreme amnesia, who has no memory of what happened in her life for her past 30 years. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day. The highly acclaimed, internationally best seller is truly a suspenseful, interesting and gripping book that will keep you entertained for all 356 pages of it. For lovers of Mysteries, this is a must read book, and I highly recommend it to everybody. What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost, and unfamiliar with your own reflection in the mirror? What would you do when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real? Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a victim of an unsettling accident leaving her unable to retain memories for longer than 24 hours. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day. Keeping a diary of her daily events, she fits the pieces of her life puzzle together; she reaches a disturbing conclusion. The Journal style format of this book creates a truly unique style of writing, one that truly pulls you into the struggles of Christine’s daily life. The narration gives the reader a striking insight into the daily battle of discovering her identity. However, the style of daily journal entries can make the book slow at parts, but much like a roller coaster, it is all simply preparation for the plunge of excitement. For lovers of mysteries and psychological thrillers, this is a must read book. However, I still highly recommend it to everybody. The sudden flashbacks, the distorted images and the faint impression that things are not at all what they seem. This book will make you rethink all of your unclear memories; it will keep you extremely entertained.  The ending feels hurried; a sentimental postscript to the meticulously plotted main event. But these are minor gripes. Before I Go to Sleep is an enjoyable and impressive first novel. Like the best of its thematic predecessors, it is also an affecting moral allegory: don't forget your loved ones. Or else.  The most unnerving aspect of Before I Go to Sleep is the way it is rooted in the domestic, the suburban, the trivial. Forget whizz-bang futurism: it proceeds from ordinary life in tiny, terrifying steps, and is all the better for it. Watson’s pitch-perfect writing propels the story to a frenzied climax that will haunt readers long after they’ve closed the cover on this remarkable book.

HTML: New York Times Bestseller "An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page." â??Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Shutter Island "Imagine drifting off every night knowing that your memories will be wiped away by morning. That's the fate of Christine Lucas, whose bewildering internal world is rendered with chilling intimacy in this debut literary thriller. . . . You'll stay up late reading until you know." â??People (4 stars) Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Your name, your identity, your past, even the people you loveâ??all forgotten overnight. And the one person you trust may be telling you only half the story. Welcome to Christine's life. Every morning, she awakens beside a stranger in an unfamiliar bed. She sees a middle-aged face in the bathroom mirror that she does not recognize. And every morning, the man patiently explains that he is Ben, her husband, that she is forty-seven-years-old, and that an accident long ago damaged her ability to remember. In place of memories Christine has a handful of pictures, a whiteboard in the kitchen, and a journal, hidden in a closet. She knows about the journal because Dr. Ed Nash, a neurologist who claims to be treating her without Ben's knowledge, reminds her about it each day. Inside its pages, the damaged woman has begun meticulously recording her daily eventsâ??sessions with Dr. Nash, snippets of information that Ben shares, flashes of her former self that briefly, miraculously appear. But as the pages accumulate, inconsistencies begin to emerge, raising disturbing questions that Christine is determined to find answers to. And the more she pieces together the shards of her broken life, the closer she gets to the truth . . . and the more terrifying and deadly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque
