Seven at Two Past Five

By Tara Basi

In the course of a single day, Abi is forced to battle through an absurdist, malevolent and Kafkaesque Justice system to fight her case and, ultimately, rediscover her true name and her lost faith.Comments on Seven at Two Past Five from OnlineBookClub.org - 'Seven at Two Past Five, by Tara Basi, is bizarre - in a good way. It is simultaneously weird and wonderful, fascinating and frustrating. I have never been so caught up in, aggravated with, and yet satisfied by a story. If this novel was a person, then the relationship we had while I was reading it was tumultuous but, somehow, completely irresistible. When we agreed, it was wholeheartedly. When we didn't, I wanted to throw things.''The author's voice and style effectively swallowed me up so that I was helplessly carried along by the steady pace of events and my overarching questions: What is going on?''This completely compelling novel is as artfully crafted as Abi's buttons. I would characterize it as an allegory with a heady mix of suspense, humor, drama, satire, surrealism, and a plot more twisted than any other book I have ever read. Whenever I thought I had a handle on the story or what would happen next, I was wrong, but never disappointed.''If I was forced to compare it to other works, I would say it is Alice in Wonderland meets Pilgrim's Progress meets Monty Python, but these juxtapositions do not do it justice. I truly feel that Seven at Two Past Five is a very singular experience and no comparison is a fair one. '
