Everyone thinks that Alex is in a coma unlikely to wake up. As his family debate over withdrawing his life support he can only listen. As his girlfriend Bea, his friends and family visit and talk around him Alex has come to realise that the accident he had wasn’t really an accident. Someone meant to do him real damage and they are still out there.
As he goes over clues from his past while lying in his hospital bed, unable to do anything he must use his remains senses to solve the mystery of who tried to kill him and also try to protect the ones he loves before they decide to let him go.
I found this book so intriguing, it’s narrated totally by Alex lying in a coma unable to communicate in anyway whatsoever. It had an brilliant plot and was a thriller with a difference. I loved it!

Alex has been in a coma for two years now and thinks he lies in a coma due to a fall as everyone said.Yet he keeps trying to think back to the fall.why was it he didnt remember the fall?slowly as time passes,he finds out things from stories told by his family and friends as they visit him.
A reopening in the case with new evidence suggests that foul play was involved.He started to realize that his one dr who visited him who was always silent may not be his dr at all.slowly he pieces the events together and solves his murder,but no matter how hard he tries,he never regains consciousness and his family eventually decides to turn off life support

By far one of the best novels I've ever read. Very thought provoking. Gripping. Could not stop reading.

The premise of this book, the main character being in a coma but still having full feeling and consciousness was very interesting. It was narrated by him and his thoughts.
I haven’t read a book in that format before, so it hooked me from the beginning. The writing style was easy to follow and flowed well.
Disappointingly, that’s about all the positive I can say. It was supposed to be a gripping who dunnit, trying to sold his own murder but in my opinion this was executed very poorly which was such a shame. I lost interest fairly quickly and wasn’t happy with the resolution.
Wasn’t for me unfortunately.

I'm really surprised at how highly rated this book is. I found it pretty boring, the protagonist is literally in a coma for the whole thing and it's all just flashbacks and snippets of overheard conversations. I wasn't really invested in any of the characters. It feels like an effort to even review and I think I'll have forgotten it entirely pretty soon.
