Reviews About “The Memory Thief” by “Lauren Mansy”
One of these days I’ll learn that it’s a bad idea to go into a book blind. Unfortunately, The Memory Thief is yet another example of why it’s so important to read book summaries and reviews before reading a book. Especially one that was written by an author you love! This is another case where I wish I would have known more about what was going on in order to fully enjoy what was happening. With any luck, writing my own review will help me organize my thoughts on all of that. Otherwise, it looks like there are several other people who wrote negative reviews and already explained their opinions of The Memory Thief.
