Reminding me of both Orwell and Kafka, Tara Basi's novel features a protagonist I could easily get attached to. I'd like to read more and find out why Abi, the button-maker, stopped having her nightmares and what will happen to her once she can no longer continue with her life of routine and rituals. Thanks for a great review!

This book sounds so different from what I am used to reading which I still find extremely interesting. Thank you for your review!

Great job on the review. This is not not my usual genre pick, but I have to admit that I am intrigued by the story. It seems to be a unique plot, and well developed. I just may take a chance and read this one. Congrats on BOTD.

Based on the review U want to give the book a chance and check it out. It seems to have a unique story with absurd moments throughout. I can't wait to pick up the book and read about this orderly world that the author created.

This seems to be an extraordinary novel with themes such as philosophy, surrealism, etc. The review by Camille Turner gives a very clear idea about it. Thanks!

I personally love fun and creative stories, especially in a satirical light. This sounds very unique and exciting, and I'll definitely read it. Congrats on BOTD!

It sounds interesting,especially when you are used to dreaming terrors to the point that you dont feel okay when you wake-up with having experienced the terrors.I must have it and read every single page to the end

This book sounds like a puzzle that you have to put together piece by piece before you can see the entire picture. The suspense of trying to put those pieces in place without the picture on the box sound like an interesting challenge; one that will keep you guessing till the end!

I am super excited to read this book. It sounds exactly like the sort of thing I read. And really, who should ever be penalized for NOT having night terrors?
