This book will appeal to those who enjoy reading absurdist, surrealist, or philosophical novels that keep you guessing.
I know the title is extremely unusual which is what caught my attention. I look forward to reading it. Great review!

The cover of the book is a tad intimidating but once you start turning the pages, the unfolding scenes reveal why this is so. The pages are filled with a series of emotions displayed by its main character Abi aka Seven at two past five. Her lonesome life though dreary has slivers of pleasure here and there. Abi is fearful of the unknown but there is a persevering fire inside her awakened to prove her innocence surrounding an unclear situation. Her fight has been ignited and there is no letting it out.

Intriguing action lies ahead... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

It sounds like a very interesting book that I could dive into. With being told they have to have nightmares and a button maker to boot, this sounds like a crazy ride. Thanks for the honest review!

'Seven at two past five is not a book' I would normally pick up and read however, after reading the sample I am hooked and I will be buying the book. I just have to know what happens next! So many questions running through the story line that keep you engaged. A real page turner, cant wait to read more!!

Sounds so interesting and absurd at the same time. I too would love to go through the journey of Abi in clearing her name. Thanks a lot for the review. Good job.

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

A novel with an absurd and surreal approach that reflects the strange nature of the world and its people, absurd behaviors, bordering on the edge of the real world. However, it sounds very interesting for those who enjoy this genre.

Upon reading the earlier part of the sample, I feel agitated that I wanted to turn to the last page -- if there is, this being just sample pages. I feel like being in an unreal world, and all these, the ramblings are just metaphors of something, something real, or a parody of reality. That just spurs me to read some more. The review seems to give only what has been in the sample. I opine that is to keep off the spoilers. Thanks for the titillating review.

This actually sounds RIGHT up my alley. My favorite genres are fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, so the surreal or symbolic is beloved by me. The way that you describe the book, plus the cover, reminds me a lot of Dead Like Me from the early 2000's. It sounds like a fun, witty look into a world that reflects our own in an exaggerated way. Fun! This is a really good review!
