Charlie West just woke up in someone else's nightmare. He's strapped to a chair. He's covered in blood and bruises. He hurts all over. And a strange voice outside the door just ordered his death. The last thing he can remember, he was a normal high-school kid doing normal things--working on his homework, practicing karate, daydreaming of becoming an air force pilot, writing a pretty girl's number on his hand. How long ago was that? Where is he now? Who is he really? And more to the point . . . how is he going to get out of this room alive?Be Specific About Of Books The Last Thing I Remember (The Homelanders #1)

My goodness. That was a crazy ride. XD Review to come eventually.This is one of the best books I've read this year! I not only loved that fact that it was an unpredictable mystery but that it dealt with moral issues.Charlie's friend who is very disillusioned with life says to him 'You think, work hard, pray to God, respect your parents, love America, and everything'll be great .'This is a key point. Things aren't great at all but Charlie has a moral compass and uses that along with the wise words of the people that have guided him in the past to navigate the
My three words of the day to describe this book;Intense. (of extreme force, degree, strength, feeling, passion, seriousness)Taken back. (Confused, astonished, surprised, going backwards)Crazy. (mad, mentally deranged, aggressive manner, infatuated, lunatic, extreme)"A complete thrill ride with the throttle not letting up", is how I would describe this book in full.A normal kid is thrown into a life threatening, life altering, life forever-never the same-situation. I loved how Andrew brought us
Charlie West is not having a good day.Sheesh. He wakes up this morning, bloody and bruised, strapped to a chair and surrounded by gory instruments of torture. Not to mention the lack of coffee.Then he escapes from a prison-like building only to fall headfirst into a twelve-foot deep hole. What's with that, huh?West is a strapping young gentleman. He gets good grades and he has a black belt in karate. And he's been accused of murder.Well, nobody's perfect, I guess.The thing is, Charlie doesn't
It. Was. GREAT!!!!! Crazy story and non-stop twists!
AH THE ENDING. *is contemplating reading book two* Honestly I wasn't going to, but now...I'm curious. 😝 I enjoyed this, but there were moments I didn't. The writing bothered me a little and, although a lot happened, it wasn't very fast-paced (or just didn't feel like it was). I liked it, though! Charlie is a good MC and the plot is intriguing. I might even recommend this to my little bro.
This is what I like to see. Fast-paced action, a twist or two to put us off balance just when we think we've figured everything out, and bold philosophical independence that infuses the text with purpose and character. Andrew Klavan's The Last Thing I Remember kicks off a series that could get even better as the author hones his writing for the young-adult set. No time is wasted before pushing us into the middle of the action as Charlie West wakes up alone in a room, tied to a chair, his torso
