Abi is accused of not having a nightmare. Wow! That's so absurd. I am intrigued and I want to know what follows and how it the book ends. That's a wonderful review. I enjoyed reading it.

Great review. At first I didn’t find this interesting but as I read further in the review it caught my attention. I want to know what exactly is this world Abi lives in. I think to just reading something not so serious would be a good break on the mind.

Seven at Two Past Five by Tara Basi definitely sounds like a good book. I would really like to read about the absurd world Abi lives in. Great review!

I found somewhat different kind of fiction story in this book "Seven at Two Past Five" by Tara Basi , which is about life and psyche of Abi, also known as Seven, and who is the old button maker. Her orderly world is suddenly overturned when she is accused of “Disturbance Potential” after change in the routine arrival of nightmares to her. The story appears quite intriguing to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I like your review of the book and I am said to say that this book does not appeal to me. I found the book to a little slow while I was reading the sample. I did enjoy the fresh story though. I have never read anything like it.

The most strange book I have ever seen, I don't think I will relate to this book in anyway as it is not my type.

Hey, Camille! Your review is so honest, I love it! I remember seeing this book somewhere and considering to read it at one point but the given book description made me doubt a bit if I would enjoy it - it was more about how mysterious everything is in the book. I thought then - maybe too mysterious for me. Sometimes people try too hard to be original in their reviews and lose the main point, I think... Your review has a very positive and honest personal touch, also perfectly simple and tells the right amount of what the book is about. Simply few sentences made me believe I will love the book. Next time it finds me somewhere - I won't let it go. Thanks for the honesty and simplicity!

The pairing of button making and night terrors has really piqued my interest. Thanks for the interesting review and recommendation.

I can’t wait to read this book. I just won it on the amazon raffle and the summary and preview make it sound like an interesting and different read. An author describing parts of their book as both absurd and malevolent sounds like a fresh new take on a genre I love. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this book. The suspense is killing me.

I like that this is referred to as an absurdist novel. The metaphor of going along with the masses is so prevalent. Swimming upstream is never easy. Good luck Abi and Zero!

Seemingly this one is different to any of the books that I have come across. I am impressed, so I am thinking of reading this. Congratulations on being BOTD

Thanks for the great review. This is not a book I would normally read, but after reading the sample and your review I'm interested in finding out more. So many questions I hope get answered like what is this place she's in? Why is she not allowed contact with others? How on Earth could she be held accountable for her night terrors going away? I'm so excited to read more

The book sounds different then what I'm use to reading but I'm open to reading an "abstract book." Sounds interesting.
And wonderful review! Sounds professional.
