Book Review: Mister Memory by Marcus Sedgwick

Mister Memory is a beautifully written, character driven mystery.



Set in 1890s Paris, Mister Memory follows the tale of Marcel Depres down an unlikely path involving marriage, death, imprisonment, and an asylum. All of his experiences center around his perfect memory. That's right, a perfect memory. Marcel forgets nothing. In fact, he can recall every moment of his life in perfect detail.

It may sound awesome but the reader soon learns that Marcel's perfect memory comes at a cost and has led him down his terrible path. It's up to a doctor and a few police officers to unravel the puzzle.

The Verdict on Mister Memory

Memorable characters and an incredible story that keeps you guessing make this a must read.
