The plot's premise in a nutshell is:
A hypnotherapist tries to make a patient open up his repressed memories although they are terrorizing. (They did a good job on me.)

The patient goes along with the therapist because someone from his past is trying to do away with him.


The plot is intriguing, very rich, and full of twists and turns. The characters are very well drawn; even the secondary characters made me wish I knew their full stories, too.

The language is clear, easily understandable, yet it doesn't talk down to readers. The choice of words is excellent. The prose flows and the dialogue is believable.

the way the author made me look deeply into the characters.

This is one of the best post World War II books I have ever read. It is full of exciting action, emotion, and splendid characterization. Also, unlike many other e-books, usage of the language was excellent.
