This part in the book is the part where I was really just kind of surprised how it went.  Alphin makes you think that its just Cameron Miller getting caught in the act of trying to switch families.  However, its actually been Neil Lacey all along.

I personally like this book just because of the short lived suspense of the book.  Most psychological thrillers are always super long, but Counterfeit Son was good and shorter. I liked how there are actual little hidden things in the plot foreshadowing the end of the story.
I think that the way amnesia and PTSD are portrayed in the story are accurate.  It helps show the emotions of these ailments by showing Cameron/Neil's thoughts and reactions to things.  A lot of the book Cameron/Neil are just confused and very scared.
I would recommend this book to others. I actually have recommended it to people in the past because it was just one of those books that I never forgot about.   I read it for the first time in 8th grade and I have read it 2 or 3 times since then too.

Cameron Miller is a 14 year old boy who has been abused sexually and physically by his father Hank Miller.  His father has murdered many other kids too. Hank leaves the newspaper clippings of the boys he's killed in the basement, which is where he also makes Cameron stay.  Cameron has the idea to try to become one of the kids that are in the missing ads in the paper because his dad tells him that he will get in trouble too. So he runs away and takes up the identity of Neil Lacey, but now he has to try to become a completely different person.
