Memory Man Amos Decker David Baldacci Books

Memory Man is the first book (of two so far) in Baldacci's newest series featuring a rather unique character named Amos Decker. As a 22 year old playing his first NFL game, Decker, on his very first play, suffers a traumatic head injury that not only ended his football career, it induced hyperthymesia and synesthesia -- resulting in his never forgetting anything and his counting in colors and seeing time as pictures in his head.

I won't provide a plot description as this can be gotten from the Amazon Book Description above. Rather, I'll provide some of my feelings about Memory Man which, hopefully, will be of help in deciding if it is a book you'll want to read.

Overall, there several key positive aspects that far outweigh what I consider to be its one, but not insignificant, key flaw.

On the positive side, Baldacci writes in a brisk narrative style and composes dialogue that is realistic for the characters speaking it. The plot is multi-faceted, interesting, fast-paced and has an above-average amount of twists and turns. And, perhaps, most importantly, Baldacci's main character and more secondary "good guy" characters are pretty well-developed and likeable enough to make me interested in going along with them on their next case. Further, you're not likely to forget a villain in this book anytime soon.

For me, these aspects override a number of the actions of Amos Decker and some of the motivations of a villain that I consider to be far-fetched enough to almost push me to the very edge of my ability to suspend belief. This flaw resulted in my deducting one star from my overall rating.

If you can accept a plot that while fun and interesting has some credibility issues, than I think Memory Man is a book worthy of your consideration. I, for one, found Memory Man to have enough merit to make me interested enough to read the second book in the Amos Decker series, called The Last Mile.

Memory Man Amos Decker David Baldacci Books Reviews


Love Baldacci...you're always afraid that,as with many, too many other 'Branded' Authors, that he/she will start to write to fulfill their contractual obligations. I am extremely pleased to tell whomever reads this review that this is absolutely not the case with "MEMORY MAN" By David Baldacci!
I could go on and write a review of this great book, but I will spare you my story review, because all I will tell you is that you will not be disappointed, at all, with this latest book by Mr. Baldacci. I read a lot, by probably most/all the so called 'branded' Authors and I was concerned that this Memory Man would be a let-down...it's not.
The first half of the book tells the base story Nd then goes into a tremendous building to a 'fire-burning', turning, last half of the book.
You don't know me...I don't know you, but, as an avid reader, or for a great summer read, most definitely buy this David Baldacci "Memory Man'...it's truly worth whatever you have to pay for it. Enjoy it!...You will.
Other reviewers complained about the ending and motive for the crime. They were not nearly forceful enough. This is easily the worst wrap up I've ever read. The whole book is fairly farfetched, but the motive was a flat out insult. I promise it will make you angry, so consider yourself warned.
I don't know how this book got a good review. The plot just rambled on and on. I've pretty much read all of Baldacci's books and this is the first one I did not like. I read The Last Mile, second book in this series, which is enjoyable and doesn't ramble on about the little our trivial. I guess this book being in the first of a series is about the development and back ground of Amos Decker. If I had read this book first, I would not have bothered with the other book in this series. If this is your first Baldacci book and you do not like it, I'd advise you to try one more of his books, he is one of my favorite authors and one I'll continue reading.
I liked it. Not the best Baldacci book I've read but certainly entertaining enough to make me want to buy the next in the series. The hook is Amos Decker's incredible memory and ability to see colors when others would feel emotions, a condition caused by a traumatic head injury. Using these abilities, Decker solves the mystery of his wife and child's murder along with several others by the same killer. The pace of the story ebbed and flowed throughout so it was not the fastest read ever, but it built to a climax that though not the greatest did pull the reader along quite well. I enjoyed Decker's deductive reasoning as he pursued the killer, tapping into his exceptional memory for clues no one else had the ability to find. The secondary characters and villain are well drawn and work well in the story. One flaw in this, and many other books, is that at the climactic moment the villain is willing to talk and explain, or allow Decker to do so, rather than act. I've always had a hard time with that. Otherwise I enjoyed the book and recommend it to murder mystery lovers.
Baldacci's novels are well written and full of detail. The details in this book are so vivid that one can actually get in the scene and feel like one is a witness to what is transpiring in the novel. Such is the way I felt while reading Memory Man. It's quite believable that a vicious NFL tackle can either kill you or make you a genius savant - which in this case happened and eventually helped the main character as a top notch detective. He is able to remember every detail of everything he sees like a video recorder so it's quite helpful in his profession. However, his family gets killed and so a novel is started with this devastating loss.
The story unfolds ever so slowly and at times, painstakingly slow but there is enough detail there to get one keep reading. The reward is satisfying. If you have read other Baldacci novels, they are always full of minute details and the characters are more nuanced than most. You get to know them as much as you want to know the character in a book.
All in all, it's a great book to read. I have ordered the other 2 books in the series and regretfully, I have not started reading the second book yet. I have a lot to read before that but there is always that book to look forward to.
