An intriguing sci-fi novel involving those that we hold dear and secret to ourselves- that is our thoughts. Congrats to Tayma Tameem.

I have read and liked one book from this very author. Her penmanship is commendable and fell in love with her plots. This book of stealing memories sounds intriguing enough for me to want to read it. Thank you for the review.

This sounds like a really interesting storyline. I like the quandary of choosing whether to be able to sleep or losing your memories. It seems a very original thriller novel. Thanks for a great review.

The title alone would have me pushing the crowd out of the way to get to this book if I saw it on a distant shelf! Sounds both captivating and scary!

Thank you for such an informative and inviting review!

I love the plot of the book, it sounds so interesting. It definitely makes sense that messing with people's minds will sooner or later bring problems. I've read before that this author has a very good writing style, which really makes me want to read this. Thanks for the review.

A unique and fascinating book about people who steal others memories and make money out of it. Congratulations BOTD!

It is hard to imagine that someone would actually want to purchase someone else's memories, but the book does sound interesting.

Such an interesting idea though I don't know how I feel about having my memories permanently erased. Thanks for the review.

An interesting idea which has been explored in other ways before, in science fiction. In this case, I find it interesting that memories are removed somehow from people's brains, and not simply recorded for use elsewhere. But I suppose that this is where the plotline comes in, where the soldier missing his memories wants them back. This sounds like a great mix of suspense and science fiction that combines into a thriller. Your review was detailed and interesting.

This exciting sci-fi thriller is about a company that steals people's memories to sell to wealthy clients. That's an interesting storyline. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for an excellent review.

The book is based on an interesting idea, which I had heard of before. As to the main character, he seems to be in the position of someone who wants to "eat his cake and have it".
On the other hand, allowing others to witness one's memory might be the TV of the future.
I understand that the book is worth reading for the quality of the writing but I would also be interested to see how this puzzle is solved. Will the main character get his memories back?

This review and the book sample reminded me of 2 movies - Total Recall and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I think this will be a good book for anyone looking for an action-packed sci-fi story with an easy to understand language.
Thanks for your review
