Title: The Last Thing I Remember
Author: Andrew Klavan
Year: 2010
Genre: Action/adventure
Age: 7th grade up
Summary: Charlie West wakes in pain, tied to a chair, and surrounded by torture equipment. The last thing he remembers is going to bed after a normal day at school. Luckily, Charlie studied martial arts and has a chance to escape.
Review: AMAZING BOOK! The action was fantastic, all swift kicks and terrified escapes. The mystery of how apple-pie Charlie got into this situation really moves the plot and kept me reading. Only a few things rang false, mostly the gung-ho, America-is-great arguments Charlie has with multiple people, but they’re necessary for the plot so I can excuse them. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the sequels (there’s two! hooray!) and find out what happened during Charlie’s lost year between going to bed and waking up tortured.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be taken on an unstoppable adventure.
