Memorable!

I'm an avid reader and love books that will keep you thinking long after you've turned the last page....This is that book! Its an exciting suspense novel that moves at a fast pace. Trying to figure out what is going on and how the characters are connected kept me totally intrigued. I ended up reading the book in a day! I liked that there were many different characters to keep track of in this book; it illustrated perfectly how people are linked in many ways and don't know it. A little creepy,especially with these characters!:) Great book though and I am looking forward to reading more from Sommer.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

One word can pretty much summarize this novel and it has to be amazing! I'll start my review off by explaining how awesome and creative the cover is! Okie so the cover is solid black with gray; and in the background you can see silhouettes of different people. Some of those people are wearing hats, others are wearing business suits, and it just fits the whole premise of the book. The title completely stands out with the whole white. Anyway, so on to the writing. This novel is written in third person point of view. There are many different people that you keep up with and little by little you can see the relationships that these people have without truly knowing they exist in each others lives. The first chapter completely sucked me. I mean, if you read about a guy that can't remember who he is and has thousands and thousands of dollars on him; wouldn't you be a little interested in knowing who he is or why he was left on a bench not knowing who he is and why he had that much money on him? There were a few parts in this book that made me change how I view things. For example, on pg.33 Lory is talking about how marriage isn't how it used be. It's more about a political statement or in other words power. I completely agree with that statement. Now a day's, people don't marry for love, they marry for wealth or some kind of standing. The Manufactured Identity is one of the best psychological thrillers I have read. Dr. Sommer honestly put it together in such an amazing way that left me completely breathless and saying "NO! Are you serious!" as I read the last words of the novel. It's a page turner and very well written. I give this novel 4.5 out of 5 paws.

FINALLY!

FINALLY!! For the first time, in a long time, I could NOT predict the outcome of the story before I got to the end. This book has made me excited about reading again! I was intrigued! I couldn't finish reading it until I knew what was going to happen and why! This book is a must read. I hope to see more from this very talented author!!

surprised me

didn't expect it would be as good as it was. really good writing and really fascinating content. The kind of characters that are easy to love and hate at the same time. I also liked the way the author delved into the gray areas of romance and love

The Manufactured Identity

The Manufactured Identity by Heath Sommer A review by Teresa & Gregory Aguilar As a psychological thriller The Manufactured Identity is a strange tale that will keep you riveted. From one moment to the next the characters were keeping you on your toes. Trying to figure out what was going on and how all the characters related to one another. The author delves into the brain, with the many illnesses of the mind. Some of the characters could be considered down right spooky. I would not want to find myself alone with any one of them. And to think that there are people out there with these kinds of mental illness is scary. If you are the type of person who is riveted by a well written thriller that will throw you into the minds of the mentally ill then this book is definitely a must read.
