Sounds very interesting and just the kind of book for me as I am a fan of Terry Pratchett. From what I've read I feel like it's an infused version of reaper man and 1984. It's also been a while since I read a good page-turner so I will check this out for sure, thank you for the review :)

I was completely confused yet captivated by this book. I finally got the feel of the book as an allegory like Pilgrams Progress. This is a unique and different kind of read than I normally see published. The review was informative and did a wonderful job describing the unique book.

This sounds very interesting. Words like "surrealism" and "Terrors" (dreams) have awakened my interest. If I ever get the chance to read this book, I will. Also I am very curious now about the world that this book describes and about the "disturbance potential".

The first chapter in the sample I read had me wondering if it was a metaphor for life. It was an interesting read and I've out this book on my To Read List

I must admit that this is a unique novel, with a unique writing style. I never thought failing to have a nightmare could lead one to be prosecuted. This is an interesting one. Thank you for your review

Hey! Great review! Sounds like a book that has drawn inspiration from so many different sources. Did the settings and vocabulary remind you of Harry Potter? Then of course Alice in Wonderland, and all that. I would definitely read this book. :-D

Such great review, now am curious as to what the subject the book tackled in such an absurd manner.

This is such an unusual plot. Your review describes the book well without giving away any spoiler. I wonder why the protagonist is accused for an absurd crime and what kind of justice system prevail in this fictional world. Thanks for the entertaining review.

There's something weird about this book. I may have to read the full book to get it. I actually am fascinated by concepts that don't take the normal scheme of things. Thanks for the review.

This book has an ineresting concept. The fact that it is also well-written and that it is philosophical makes me want to read it. Thank you for this wonderful review!

I am glad the reviewer enjoyed the story, despite its odd and absurd nature. It seems I'll have to read it to discover the true purpose of the author's writing this book. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds so weird. I like surreal books, having enjoyed The Third Policeman and Ulysses to name a couple. This book sounds like something similar to those, it’s going on my To Read list. Thanks for your review.
