The Memory Police is a haunting dystopian story where the citizens of an island suffer en mass from items in their lives “disappearing” both from the world around them and their own memories. I loved the world, the tone, and the characters in the novel.

There were some inconsistencies in the book that I can only imagine were mistakes (disappeared items pop up in the story again as if they haven't disappeared) and loose ends that really diminished the level of storytelling for me.

The first half of the book is super compelling, then it just sort of trails off and doesn't explain enough to be satisfying or thought-provoking.
