The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
3.75
adventurous challenging informative mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 Read this if you like…
- speculative fiction
- murder mystery
- perceptual science
- dual POVs

Themes at play…
- looking for proof of reincarnation
- a mother’s love
- being at your wits’ end

It's an interesting story, to be sure, but at times the narrative reads more like non-fiction…which wasn’t all bad…but the POV of the mother was infinitely more engaging than that of the professor. I feel like this should have hit deeper than it did…but that’s not to say that I didn’t like it, not at all...the subject matter was captivating and I enjoyed the mystery of it.

- The narration by Susan Bennett and David Pittu
- ratings score = 7.26/10
