The Echo Maker by Richard Powers

I am now onto my next novel: The Echo Maker by Richard Powers (a Pulitzer Prize finalist). This is a book about Mark, a 27-year old involved in a near-fatal accident. As a result he suffers a head trauma and his sister is forced to return to their hometown to nurse her brother. When Mark comes out of his coma, however, he believes the woman who looks and acts just like his sister is really an imposter. In the end, Mark is diagnosed with Capgras syndrome and the results of this and the circumstances that surround the real cause of his accident leave no one's life unchanged. Sounds riveting!!! I can't wait to read this. I'll let you know how it all turns out!

Update:  So, I've finished The Echo Maker by Richard Powers. I'm thinking that I didn't like the book. I read it through but could have (maybe I did) skip about 100 pages of what this layperson calls wordy bullshit. I guess I'm not intellectually keen enough to see the intricacies of the plot and the parallels that blah blah blah...Seriously, could this writer be more pedantic? I mean the sheer wordiness was enough to put me to sleep any number of times (actually, it did put me to sleep). Now, I know that I should probably be saying something highly intelligent about a "Pulitzer Prize nominee" but there is a reason he didn't win the prize. I'm just not sure why it was nominated. Now this isn't to say that someone else may find it to be a thrilling (I don't see how that is possible) and unforgettable (what the hell was it even about?), however, this reader hopes to get lucky with her next pick.
