This sounds like an intriguing science fiction story. It brings a solution to those with insomnia. But Vincent wants to rob this gift from those who want it the most. I'd love to know whether he succeeds in destroying the company. I'm adding the book into my want to read shelf. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

What an interesting premise. I also like the easily understandable language in the book. After having read a sample of this book, I'm curious to know how the first couple of chapters all come together. Thanks for a great review!

What an interesting premise for a book!
The concept of stealing sounds interesting. I am so glad you found it a page-turner. Thanks for the review, I enjoyed reading it.

Not a big sci-fi fan. Taking memories from some people and selling them to others does seem like an interesting idea, but the rest doesn’t sound like my kind of book.

The book title is quite intriguing. When I read that summary, though, it turns out to be more complicated than I expected. It's good that the author wrote it in a straightforward way; I think it's a safer choice. You can't go wrong with that, especially with a page-turner like this.

This book does sound interesting after reading the review that you have completed. I mean who would even think that their very dreams would be in jeapordy for not only being stolen, and then sold to the highest bidder. But, not one that I would be interested in reading at this time. Thank you for giving me a clear view of what to expect when reading this book.

This book sounds well written and interesting. It has a very interesting concept, though I am not a fan of sci-fic novel but I think this is worthy for me to read.

This is definitely worth a read. For each of our stupid or hurtful memories, there is always undeniable meaning behind it, but somehow the unspeakable pain that lingers for years also unbearable. The uneasiness choices between eradicating them or not probably how this story goes.
However, this is a superb review, heartily thank you!!

Wow, to be able to whisk away troubling memories so easily would be fantastic, however I do believe that there are lessons to be learned in the bad, so getting rid of them would essentially rid yourself of anything you may have learned while experiencing it. That isn't worth it in my opinion. Thank you so much for the well-written and insightful review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

The thought of someone probing your mind and transferring it to somebody else is a terrifying concept. I'm curious to find out how the book will address the ethics behind it and its implication to the provider and recipient of the memories. Thanks for the review.

This book seems like it was written for me. I have difficulty sleeping, and it has been like that for some time. That is what captured my attention about this book.

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.
