Thank you for your review with us. It is an unusually creative writing style and true to form for this author. This strange place with arbitrary rules seems unpleasant, but somehow creates an illusion of comfort. There is much to debate regarding the philosophical aspect of this story...

Hmm, this book sounds somehow funny, a mean how could someone charged for not having normal nightmare? I would love to read this book to find out more about Terror. A great review by the way!

Though not the type of book I like to read, this one seems unique. The character of Abi looks interesting enough to compel me to peep into more of it.

Abi's experience here is very similar to what I experience years ago. it was not always a fun fare. The experience that tests one's courage and resilience. i wish Abi good luck.

Book 📖📖📖📚 of the day BOTD is fiction a tale for open minded people the author develops the character of old lady ABI who was a button maker! She lived in a bunk bed tower number 7 she always gets up at two past 5..one day as she was getting ready to work she finds a termination letter with no clue of what termination is..! There was a buzzard twist on the book lots of characters were included some human and others weren't!? The book was well written to people who like this kind of book I personally hard a hard time reading this book characters w hard names ..

This certainly seems like the sort of book I'd very much want to read, as I love uncommon books, and this appears to possess all the necessary qualities. I'm truly inquisitive concerning what button-production has to do with bad dreams, as well as why the hero rests in a loft casket. Thanks for the detailed review. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

This seems to be the quirky kind of story that strikes my fancy. Glancing at the text, the short sentences drew me in immediately to the oddness of the story, so I may have to check this one out. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

I agree with the people who mentioned Kafka, as the setup reminds me of his Trial. This makes me curious about Abi's ordeal which surely includes a number of twists while going through the Justice system. Thank you for your great review!

Being punished because you didn't have nightmares?! Strange but fascinating. This sounds like a book those who enjoy fantasy will love! Not my cup of tea, though! Thanks for the great review!

This makes me want to read this book so badly. I want to know mor about the button maker Abi and seven bunk bed coffin . This is an interesting concept alot more different from what am used to read.I want to know more of how she would deal with her accusation and it being the first time to interact with others. And will she deal with all the ridiculous issues . I would like to review this book just to know what happens to the Button maker Abi : 🤠

The prose of this novel is amazing, I was intrigued by the end of the first page. Basi's voice is so unique and captivating, I could read anything written like this!
