I see a lot of mixed reviews about Oblivion. I thought it was an exceptional book and the whole premise outstanding.

PI Nick Petrov is well known for finding missing persons and will always be remembered for his hand in locating and bringing down a serial killer who tortured and killed 6 women before being stopped.

The largest character of this book is his amnesa due to a brain tumor. For such a smart and organized man, losing 2 weeks out of your life is like being in a cage. Slowly but surely he starts piecing together partial clues when his brain misfires and has memory hallucinations.

Having the brain tumor also changes Nick's personality. He's become a kinder, gentler man,,,especially in dealing with his son who lives with his mother. He may have lost some of his brain cells, but he's developed a heart.

It's fun watching him put his life back together in order to find a missing young teenager. The author does an excellent job is showing us the character's frustration and sometimes anger with himself. And he really, really hates to ask for help.

I liked the characters .... I liked the storyline...and now I'm going to be looking for any other of his books. Not so much blood and guts with this one, but any time reading this one will not be wasted. 5 Stars.
