The first hundred pages or so of this book had me riveted. I liked Axel and Beatrice so much (and how many books have an elderly couple as the main hero? Awesome!) and was really curious about what they had forgotten. But the next couple hundred pages were much more difficult for me to get through. Overall, my feelings about the book are positive, and I liked the ending, even though it was kind of emotionally devastating. It reminded me in many ways of Never Let Me Go. But overall, it's not on my all-time favorites list.
