The book sounds surreal and absurd at first glance being that it focuses on a button maker who experiences nightmares each and every day. It makes me want to know what this is all about. Thanks for the review.

I would really like to read this book to identify some of the facts stated by the reviewer. How do you even punish someone for not having nightmares it seems absurd and I think this is what really captured my interest. Looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for the great review.

Abi's story is really weird...sleeping in a bunk-bed-coffin and having terrors every night are the two aspects that struck me. This doesn't sound like a book for me. I am sure lovers of this genre will be in for an enjoyable ride.

What an original concept. It's so hard to find books that aren't just a variation of something you've already read.

I have been considering reading this since ages, but was never quite sure what it is about, or whether I would like it. However, after reading your review, I have no doubt left that this one will be an amazing read. Thanks for the review!

This entire book sounds super weird - and super intriguing! I wonder if I can navigate my way through its absurdity and surrealism. Only one way to find out! Thank for the review.

I like to to read a book where the author is capable of holding the suspense throughout the book. However, the plot doesn't interest me much. So I'm not sure what to do with this book. Anyway, thanks for the interesting review.

The concept is interesting. Abi's world must be really boring if one "change" gets you accused of being a “Disturbance Potential.” I wonder if it was explained in the book why the change happened in the first place. Guess I have to find it out for myself. Thank you for your review!

Based on your review, I think that this book is genuinely unlike any other I've read before, at least in terms of the world that is built. It does sound along the same lines, in regards to its approach of a topic and its effect, to the works of Kafka and Jorge Luis Borges. I'm not a big Kafka fan but I am fond of Borges, so this book might be worth the read for me. Thank you for the very helpful review.

This bizarre and surreal world sounds like it will be a delightful break from the crazy real world we live in. I will certainly give it a chance, although I am a bit dubious about the fragmented style. Thank you for your review.

Sounds like a gripping novel! I'm interested though in the author's writing style. However, you mentioned being swept to different places while reading, and I am concerned if it will be a bit too vague or the plot would be too long-winded. I hope it isn't. Overall, this sounds interesting though! Thanks for your honest review!
