Man Walks Into a Room

Summary: Mixed review
Review: This IS NOT science fiction meets literature...

Its literature, deep and reflective at times, meets exploration of one to find meaning in a new/blank slate life self with a weak scientific plot to compliment that. The plot shows promise in the beginning, the dialogue and introspection are well-written, but the story ends up fizzling out.

Rating:
Summary: It has its good points
Review: Without a doubt, this novel raises important, compelling questions. What would you do if you had amnesia and couldn't remember anything after age 12? How would you navigate living in a big city, as Samson and his wife do? How would you feel if you were his wife, students and friends? Though the book is well-written, the characters, Samson especially, didn't really hold my interest.
