![]() If anything, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac remind me of why I'm glad my years as a teenager are coming to an end: way too much drama. So Naomi begins the book not-quite- tabula-rasa, and you expect her to grow and change as she becomes a brand new person, right? Not so much. ![]() Zevin uses a good deal of creative license when it comes to Naomi's amnesia-which she's allowed to do, both because it's her book and we still don't precisely understand the workings of the brain anyway. The premise is interesting: Naomi Porter is a teenage yearbook editor who hits her head when she falls down the steps at her school, causing her to forget the last four years of her life. ![]() While Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac isn't a terrible book, I finished it with a profound feeling of "So what?" I'm not sure that was the right decision. After not enjoying Elsewhere, I was hesitant to read this book, but decided to go through with it anyway. ![]()
