Tayma has always been a great author, have enjoyed reading her work, indeed this book is work science, how could they extract memories from someone's brain, if I could be Vincent I could have reacted the same way. Did he really made it with the help of the undercover agent? I would like to know that, otherwise great review.

This story reminds me a lot of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "Total Recall." The plots are not quite the same, but both include less-than-squeaky-clean corporations fiddling with people's memories. The fusion of sci-fi and crime thriller sounds like it really hit the mark with this book. I may have to consider putting it on my TBR shelf! Thanks for the recommendation!

The storyline that deal with memory theft by a company is a captivating one. And the author's style of writing is admirable too. I will love to read this book. Nice review.

This seems interesting, why buy memories that hinder people's sleep? I'm curious to find out.

Losing one's precious memories appears to be a serious issue. Vincent's quest to destroy this company is well-founded. Nice review!

I think this plot is a new concept to me. I like the idea though, because I'm sure there's someone on earth looking for ways to exploit people's minds and memories.

The idea that one would extract another's memories and sell them to billionaires is evil. I hope Vincent sorts them out. Thanks for this review!

Thank you for the engaging review! A book about dreams getting extracted and sold off to billionaires who would like to live those experiences sounds like a great sci-fi to dig in. I am interested in discovering how did the author make this plot sound convincing, especially the protagonist's will to bring the company down for the memories that he doesn't even have anymore. Sounds interesting! Thank you for your effort!

The concept of removing one's memories is very interesting. The first paragraph of the review makes it sound like a Black Mirror episode. Thanks for the review.

I would gladly offer my embarrassing memories to be erased😂. Just the embarrassing ones. The book has an interesting plot. I would read it just to see how the author made it work.

It seems like you really got into this book until you point out that it needs some humour. Yet the rating suggests that it is perfect.

Thanks for the informative review. You would think that a company that takes away people's memory would be smart enough to erase the knowledge about it's existence from the victims' memories. The plot is intriguing. Congrats on being the BOTD.

Extracting and selling the memories of those that want to experience something but do not want to actually go in person is an intriguing story. Although it seems to be an impossible feat in today's world, the possibilities of this happening in real life are still there. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)
