I guess I just like Nicole Krauss. Her other book (History of Love) quickly climbed to my list of all-time favorites, and while I didn’t feel quite as strongly by this novel, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. She has a knack for letting the reader really get inside the main character. Wasn’t a huge fan of the science-experiment days described in the middle of the book, that I thought was its biggest downfall. Very interesting premise of a man who, at 31, is found wandering in the desert and has lost all memories from age 12 onwards.
