Sharon Cameron returns to the rich world of The Forgetting with a companion novel as thrilling and intricately crafted as the first.

Samara doesn't forget. And she isn't the only one. Safe underground in the city of New Canaan, she lives in a privileged world free from the Forgetting. Yet she wonders if she really is free, with the memories that plague her and secrets that surround her. Samara is determined to unearth the answers, even if she must escape to the old, cursed city of Canaan to find them.

Someone else is on their way to Canaan, too.... A spaceship from Earth is heading toward the planet, like a figment of the city's forgotten past. Beck is traveling with his parents, researchers tasked with finding the abandoned settlement effort. When Beck is stranded without communication, he will find more in Canaan than he was ever trained for. What will happen when worlds and memories, beliefs - and truths - collide?

This pulse-pounding, evocative companion to Cameron's highly acclaimed The Forgetting explores the truth and loss that lie within human memory and the bonds that hold us together.

I loved this one just as much as the first. It was hard to get used to the female voice actor but after a few chapters it was ok. I enjoyed hearing it with both male and female readers.

Loved two voice actors

The only disappointment was the female narration. The voice was hard to understand at times and too soft. I would have to turn up my volume all the way to hear the female narrator and then turn it down when the male narrator began. Too often I had to replay the audio to understand what Samara had said. Made for a less enjoyable experience.

Enjoyed the story.. Good sequel to first book.

I won't make this review complicated and long, all I will say is that its more then worth the credit and the read. Don't Start here, read The Forgetting and then read this one, but if you did want to start here, it can stand on its own and not leave you confused, I don't recommend it because you miss out on so much of the back-story, not to mention the Forgetting is an awesome book also. Give It a chance and don't give up because of the first chapter, from the moment Beckett started until the end, it completely captivated me but yes the first chapter is confusing and frustrating, stick with it and you won't be disappointed.

Truly a great book!!!!

I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes the 2nd in a series is a disappointment but not here. It could almost be a stand-a-lone. I could hardly put it down.

Great book

The Knowing had big shooed to fill after The Forgetting. At first, it started slow and the plot was somewhat confusing. At one point, I wondered if I had read the books in the wrong order or if this was a different storyline all together. The first book took you there almost immediately. This one makes you simmer.
Hang in there. Once Cameron reveals the connection, the remaining storyline keeps you hooked. There is mystery, deceit and just the right amount of clean romance to keep tweens and teens interested.
The end teases about future storylines. I hope Cameron sticks with this dystopian/sci-fi series. This genre needs more great authors to fill library shelves.

Slow start - great finish

This book felt like it was just a re-hashing of the forgetting. Sure, it's hundreds of years in the future and the main conflict is somewhat different. But it's the same basic premise - some people hold all the knowledge, and one person trying to change things wants to know more. It just wasn't as interesting as The Forgetting, and didn't feel original.

Also, I get why Emily Woo Zeller did the accent she did (as they remark in the book that Sam speaks haltingly/strangely a few times). However, listening to it for hours on end really grated on my nerves. She did this over-enunciated, whispery voice that was hard to listen to (and hear while driving at times). It certainly did not help my enjoyment of the book. The male narrator was perfect - no complaints there.

Nowhere near as captivating as The Forgetting

I loved this book. Maybe more than the first one. I hesitated to get the sequel because some review said it was just exactly like the first book and they didn’t think it was original. I totally disagree. The story is completely new and original and yet retains the style and fascination of the first book. Very glad I got this!

A new story, still exciting and intriguing

This is such a great sequel where you learn about what happened next and even some new things from the previous book that you wouldn’t expect

Love this book

Not as good as the first book. I loved the first one and was a little disappointed with this one. The accent of the woman doing Sam's voice was at times hard to understand as well.
