I wasn’t sure about this book at the start. However, the review makes it sound interesting and different. I think it’s a good one to add to my reading list!

With such a unique premise, this story sounds like a gem. Dreams often make for unique additions to a story. The neatest ones are like abstract art that prove to have a deeper meaning later. And this story sounds like it is just as satisfying as a cryptic dream’s revelations!

This review is a little telling, but not too much. I am glad the reviewer did not spoil the ending, but she did tell me things I did not need to know like the red tape the main character has to go through in order to get through the issues. I have just began reading this novel and am intrigued as well, I can hardly put it down to get things done around the house. Overall, the review is well written and informative.

Amazing review. I do like books with unique and absurd concepts. I think I'll like this one.

I struggled through the free sample of this book and did not understand what the book was about. Reading your review helped me to better understand the story, thank you.
This does seem like this is a genre of fantasy. Not one of my favorite genres, so I will pass on this one.

Interesting concept, but I don't think this is the book for me. Sadly I won't be reading this one to the end.

I’m not sure I will enjoy this book if I were to read it. I’m not even sure that I’d pick it up if I hadn’t read your review, but your review makes it sound interesting and I’m intrigued. So... we’ll see.

Seven at Two Past Five by Tara Basi is a bizarre tale revolving around Abi, an old button-maker who is accused of “Disturbance Potential” for not having nightmares. Ridiculous and strange, right? How could Abi justify her innocence?

This sounds like an interesting novel. That she's accused of 'disturbance potential' for not having nightmares is a unique idea and I'm sure this book has many more of those. Somehow I'm reminded of Terry Pratchett when I read this review. Thanks for the review!

All about how life deals with us and the other way round. This book emerged as an entirely fresh wave of the genre which can be called as unconventional parallelism; undoubtedly a page-turner which captures its readers till the end and we start to think how Abi evolved through the plot of this tale. A well-crafted piece of writing, indeed!

The character of Abi seems interesting. The storyline seems intriguing and the addition regarding the frustrating process of appeals will make us sympathize with Abi. I so wanted to read this suspense novel which keeps me guessing until the end. Good review. Congrats on BOTD!

I read the sample and was put off by the writing style. I found it kind of annoying! This book has potential to be interesting, but not for me!

Thanks for the review!

Based on the review, I think I will enjoy this novel. It doesn't sound like anything I've read before.
