One of my favorites of this young year. Tim Farnsworth suffers from a condition that compels him to act in a particular way. No one in the medical community has ever heard of anything like this before (his daughter can't even find it with Google) and meaningful help is hard to come by. As the condition progresses it wreaks havoc on his relationships with his family, and his co-workers. Tim must decide what he can and cannot save in his life. To me, both in plot and character, this was reminiscent of Niffenger's "The Time Traveler's Wife". A wonderful second novel (while completely different in tone and style) by the author of 2008's "And Then We Came to the End". Ferris does a great job reading the audio as well.--Patrick
