nitroglycerin 's review for:

The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa
3.75
dark mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed the memory police, but I didn’t love it. 
Why?
I didn’t feel submerged in the story. I felt the slow pace held it back rather than helped it. I didn’t like that the characters weren’t properly named. 
I did like the concept of losing memories. Not knowing who the bad guys actually where or why.
