The Memory Palace, by Nate DiMeo

Dear Nate DiMeo,

I'm very upset with you.  Your book was just not long enough.  I wanted more, more, more.  I have listened to approximately three podcast episodes in my entire life.  They're not really my thing.  But I am totally going to go out and listen to yours.

I loved this book.  The subject matter was fantastic—interesting and varied.  The writing was creative.  At times the style got a little more experimental or grandiose than I like, but that's very subjective, and I still enjoyed it even in those bits.  I loved how you made these unknown people and strange moments in history so real.

The length, however, was terrible.  I wanted it to be about three times as long.  I'll forgive you, however, if you write a sequel.     

I don't give a lot of 5-star reviews, because I think 5-star books should be pretty near perfect.  But there's not even a question here.  FIVE STARS!

Sincerely,

Melinda Brasher
