The Memory Ward by Jon Bassoff

4.75

4.75 stars rounded up. I was actually really interested in this when I read that is compared to The Truman Show, which I have always loved the concept of. Now throw in some creepiness and horror and I am really intrigued. I actually received a physical copy of this as well and I think the audiobook was the way to go. The narrator set the tone perfectly ominous  and the writing excelled when being read out loud. I was able to really feel how creepy everything and everyone was through the narrator, whereas the book didn't come off that way as much. I listened to this almost in one complete sitting, it was addictive and I had to know what in the world was going on. The ending twist was great and I really liked the explanation. This was such a Twilight Zone coded story, I absolutely loved it. The actual ending was a bit open ended, which I am not terribly fond of, but overall this was like The Truman Show meets Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone.

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing for an ALC in exchange for my honest review.
