This book took me a long time to get through, even though it's very short. I'm attributing this to the pace of the book and the lack of plot. The book felt very quiet, and if I forgot for a second there was a horrible haunting thing happening, I could almost revel in the atmosphere this book provided.
My biggest complain is that I wanted to know more - I wanted to know why this was happening, or how it was possible, whether the Memory Police were brainwashed or worse... I wanted more! Also, not sure if this is marketed correctly when we say that it's a dystopian?
