The Memory Thief

De: Bryce Moore

Narrado por: Pete Cross

Twin brother and sister Benji and Kelly wander off at the local county fair after witnessing their parents argue. When Benji runs into a group of bullies, he escapes into a tent called The Memory Emporium, where he meets a strange old man named Louis. The old man shows him a magically vivid memory of a fighter pilot in the hopes of getting him to pay to see the other memories he’s collected from people over the years.

Benji quickly realizes the ability to take memories could help his parents stop fighting with each other, and he asks Louis to teach him how to become a “memory thief.” But Louis isn't the only person with the ability to show and manipulate memories. There's also the mysterious Genevieve, a Memory Thief with much more nefarious motives. And soon, she’s stolen more and more memories from people in town - including Benji’s sister.

Now Benji must learn how to manipulate memories to stop her, but having this newfound power comes at a cost to his family, and possibly to his own mind as well.

Great read

I’m a huge fan of Bryce Moore (I’ve read all but one of his historical fictions and waiting for the new one to come out) so when I saw this book on Audible I jumped at the chance to read it. I really enjoyed the story, however, the ending wasn’t very satisfying and there were things the characters did or said that I thought was a bit generic. Altogether I loved the book, listened to it start to finish and could see myself going back to it for a shorter read. Narration was perfect and I loved the different voices he did for each character. Would definitely recommend

Fun for kids, young adults and adults

I have a ton of respect for the author of this book, which I have to admit may have added a star to my review, but this book has a fun set up, great pacing, and manages to tackle some heavier themes to boot. I think most people can expect to have a good time with this one. The narrator does a great job too!
