nadia 's review for:

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

I was incredibly intrigued by the concept of this book, and I certainly kept on turning the pages, but ultimately, it was a tad too slow for me and lacking a certain bite or fire.

The writing and translation were both beautiful!

I definitely recommended it if you love reading mysterious, dystopian fiction.
