The plot promises to be very riveting, as the idea of manipulating something as sensitive as an individual's memories is an intriguing concept. I've added this book to my library.

This is a unique storyline. I hope Vincent gets his memories back, although he may get a few nights of restful sleep before they return. I will add this book to my list. Thanks for your take on this one!

I guess one would have to be really desperate to trust a huge corporation like this. I think we all would if it was affecting us the same way. I am glad that this is such a gripping story that you can not put it down, I just wish that the author had installed humor somewhere. Humor in serious situations sometimes breaks the tension enough to make it bearable.
Great review, thanks. :tiphat:

Good review. Taking memories and selling them off for big money sounds like trouble. I can’t wait to read this one.

I can't imagine that there exists a company that can extract memories that trouble people's sleep and then sell it to billionaires. If it existed in real life, I am sure I would be very rich for I would have sold all of my bad memories. This must be a unique and captivating plot. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

The idea of stealing memory to profit off of it is surely an exciting premise for a book. It's good that the author was able to do justice to the story and keep it engaging throughout the read. Thank you for the review.

Nice review. I’m very intrigued by this book. I wonder what my life would be like if certain troublesome memories were erased from it. Would I be the same person? If not, would that be good or bad?

I think most of us would like to erase a certain memory that keeps us up at night. But I don't know what would the buyer gain from those memories. Anyway, thank you for the review. Keep it up!

As someone who has personally experienced both PTSD and a subsequent concussion that erased large parts of my memory, I could easily identify with the protagonist in this story.
From the brief sample I read, I found the author's writing style quite engaging. I am looking forward to reading the complete book.

Sounds like an interesting book. The Colorful words and the description used in the review alone was wonderful! What would it be like to erase memories ? Can you imagine what that would be like and would they eventually come back or are they deleted forever. Anxious to read more . Thanks for the nice review.

The #BOTD has an engaging storyline. I especially liked the descriptions from the beginning and the suspense from the man saying "they stole my memories". Good review!
