Based upon your review, I am completely intrigued to read this novel. It sounds completely unlike anything I've ever read before and totally unique. I enjoy this genre overall and I love when I discover new books to get caught up in! Very well-written review, great job!

Great review. This sounds like a fun read for fans of the fantastical, absurd, and weird. Mix that with creative well executed writing, mystery, and suspense. Congrats to the author on a terrific review. Thanks so much for sharing.

This sounds like an extremely interesting book, but I'm a little confused. Do you mean that Abi has never had contact with anyone except the note orders for as long as she can remember? Or is it just the first contact she has had in the novel?

I read the review of the book Seven at Two Past Five by Tara Basi. This is a story of a female named Abi who has suffered a lot of tough experiences in her daily routine. This routine has made her dull and ruthless. Her activities and interests have been described in a good manner in the followin review. Thanks for it.

It sounds a mysterious story where the protagonist a routine person disturbed for not having nightmares in her sleep. A unique story full of suspense moments.

It's interesting to note how this book has won its reader from the start. The surreal nature of this read is new. I like to know Abi's true nature, her life of simplicity where she awakens every morning in her number seven bunk-bed-coffin is definitely an attention seeker. Thank you!

Thank you, Camille, for your review. I found the sample that I read to be disturbing and frustrating at the seemingly unfair appeal process. And I was quite intrigued by the voice calling "Ma", and wondered how that might factor into the story. This book seems to be very different from most books I read. And your review makes me want to see how the story ends.

The fact that Abi and Zero embark on a never-ending path to clear her name and receive justice, after being accused of disturbance potential, made the story unique and intriguing to read. The story line is out of this world. Great Review!

This book sounds weird. I am not into dystopia but your review makes it sound so absurd that I am intrigued. Thanks for your review!

I LOVED the sample of this book and will definitely continue reading it! The writing is beautiful and has a slight tone of despair to it. Even in just a couple chapters, the author Tara Basi captures the reader with descriptions of Abi's circumstances and little snippets of morality. I'm not sure yet if this is a dystopian or sci-fi or fantasy novel, but I'm very curious to see. It has the feel of significance with every word and it's also clearly well-edited.
