Review: Charlie West wakes up in a room, strapped to a chair, without a memory of where he is or how he got there. Outside the door, he can hear a man giving orders to kill him. He later figures out that he's lost a whole year of his life. He can't remember any of it. Now, terrorists are trying to kill him and the police are after him, charging him with the murder of his best friend, Alex and Charlie doesn't know where to turn. Without his memory, he's unable to prove his innocence, and even begins to doubt himself. Is he one of the good guys or one of the bad guys? Warning! May be spoilers beyond this point! Positive content:
Charlie is devoted to doing what's right. For his country. For his family. For his God. He won't kill anyone if he can help it. He is willing to risk his own life if it means saving others he loves. Violent content: There's a lot of punching, kicking, shooting, etc. In the beginning of the Last Thing I Remember, Charlie wakes up in a torture room. He's been tortured and he can feel the pain of it. He gets shot at countless times throughout the series. In The Final Hour Charlie is injected with something that causes him a lot of pain. There are explosions and plenty of the enemy dead. One of the main characters gets shot in the side. It's not incredibly descriptive, so it's not that gory. Sexual content: In the Last Thing I Remember a man is about to attack a woman and Charlie saves her. Charlie and Beth kiss a couple of times. Nothing detailed Language: None Overall opinion: I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style, but the storyline was great and well executed. I loved the characters. The constant fighting got a little redundant, after a while, but suspenseful all the same. The conflicts were believable and Andrew Klavan did a great job, overall. This is a great story for boys too, with the conflict and everything. I liked it, though, so girls can enjoy it, as well. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes adventure and suspense.
