What an intriguing story line! I've never read a book like today's BOTD. Your review was so well-written and made me curious for what happens next. I got a copy of it, and I cannot wait to dive in. Thank you so much!! :-)

What an interesting concept! I rarely come across absurd and surreal books that were written like that on purpose. But now I'm intrigued with this book. I want to know more about her accusation of 'Disturbance Potential' and how ridiculous and arbitrary demands other people gave!

I have already read the book and I agree that the process of the appeal is frustrating and there are characters that have absurd behaviors. This book also ends in a cliffhanger.

The creativity and intrigue of this book begins from the title which sounds weird but attracts curious minded readers. The characters are well developed and the terms used in the story are technically creative.

This book sounds very bizarre and creative at the same time. Abi’s accusation is an intriguing concept.

After reading just a short sample of this novel and the above review I can attest to the descriptive texts in this novel.

I was immediately absorbed and intrigued.

Wow! This book sounds really cool! At first glance, my curiosity was piqued. As I read the blurb, I was a bit frustrated with how vague it was but your review has grabbed my attention full-throttle. The storyline sounds interesting especially when the main character stops having nightmares and essentially gets in trouble for it! It's so bizarre and really makes me interested in reading more!

This is an extremely interesting and well written review. This looks like a book that will translate well to the big screen or even the small screen
(as a series). I find this premise top rate.
About (Seven) is one of the most intriguing characters I have come across in recent times and Zero looks like he complements her perfectly. I mean what else can I say? For the life of me, what is an appeals process administrator?
This is definitely a must read for me. Kudos to Tara Basi for creating such a unique work. Congrats to her on #BOTD

The book sounds very interesting. Will definitely like to read the book to know why Abi did not have her usually nightmare and if she finally found justice.

This sounds like a very good to book to read and your review did not disappoint. I love the cover art and it made me intrigued about what this book would be about. I love that you explained part of the title and the plot of the story is unlike I have heard of thus far. I like the mixing of genre with the suspense and philosophical to make a story that is keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

Thank you for the review. I'm not entirely sure about the bizarre and surreal tone of this book and its characters, although the author's philosophical conceptualization and writing work seem remarkable. Still, I guess that those who read these kinds of novels will enjoy the book.

Not having the Terrors (nightmares) must have been a great relief for Abi. That is, until the Kafkaesque Justice system accuses her for “Disturbance Potential"! Hope she wins her case! It's great that the book is well-written, that you found it creative, and that the suspense was kept up throughout. I don't personally enjoy books that are considered absurd or surreal, so this might not be for me. However, I'm glad that you were able to laugh out loud and that you enjoyed this one immensely! Thank you for sharing!
