Author = S. J. Watson
Publisher = Harper
Pub. Date = 14 June, 2011
Length = 359 pages

Summary :
This is a book of Christen Lucas who is 47 years old.She is married and has a son. She wakes up in the every morning not remembering anything. Her name, her identity, her past, even the people she love, all forgotten overnight. She tries to reconstruct her memories with the help of a journal she has been writing. Her doctor use to call her daily just to remind her about the journal. Christine does not trust her husband as he is telling only the half of the story. The closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable it seems.

My thoughts :
I saw the movie after reading this book as I just had lots of expectations from the movie as the book blew my mind off.But after seeing the movie I was quit disappointed and thou it was obvious. Screen cannot bit imagination. "Before I go to sleep" really gives an amazing experience. There is so much that happens in this book but there is an awful lot of repetition which will bore you a little however this is the beauty of this book.
I totally adore the way everything was set up and I never saw the ending coming. This book is worth reading. An exceptional thriller that you have never experienced before.
