Just wondering if anyone has read The Coma, by Alex Garland (author of The Beach and The Tesseract). It's very short - more of a novella really - maybe 200 pages (there are no page numbers 
), and about a quarter of those are illustrations (by Alex Garland's father).
The book is about a man (Carl), who is taking the train home from work late at night. He saves a girl from being harrassed by a group of thugs and is subsequently beaten badly, and winds up in a coma. He wakes from the coma, but notices strange gaps in time, or things that don't add up, and he starts to question his reality. (I won't give the rest away).
Anyway, for anyone who has read it,
Does anyone know?

what was in the briefcase at the end??? He says (when he has opened the briefcase) "It is possible you can guess what I saw. There are no surprises here.", but you never find out what was in there!!
