Division Clock
"A young man battling with severe depression, loss of memory and gradual onset of madness races to find a stolen magical clock and reset time to save humanity from an evil power. Trapped in his own crazed visions, the line between reality and dreams is gradually blurred, leaving him struggling to overcome an adverse battle for identity, perception and restoration of sanity." Warning from the author: If you are looking for a book that aims to only entertain, this might not be a book for you. If you are looking for a critical insight into the mind of a person suffering from depression, then this is for you. There is no standard plot formula and no predictability, there is only a surreal and ink-like mental representation of the memories, feelings and beliefs that drive a person's suffering and hold back their acceptance of their life, self-image and search for love. I can only offer a glimpse into the darkness of a person's profound melancholia.

My Thoughts:
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review by the author.
Division clock is a modern surreal fantasy novel, in which we will find the human behavior when we are in a depth depression mode. How we as simple human been blame first ourselves then other and finally the whole world. But finally understand that what we are missing is pure happiness and really want to feel with joy. But that a hard place to get because first you have to find yourself.
Valiko is a depress man that have been torturing himself with negative thoughts and I understand him a lot because when you are in that stage is so hard to find peace of mind you only want to end those lonely and sad days. But of course he is shy and wonders if others cares or don’t. But when he finds that girl that doesn’t walk by and cares for what’s bothering him, he’s really surprise. But he keep telling himself that because he has been isolated so much time his mind play games to him.

Have to admit, I was so bored with this I did not end up finishing the book.
This is a surreal fantasy based around a single character, whose main identifier is that he is a depressed writer.
The start of the book I found particularly challenging, not just because the early chapters describe dreamlike surreal sequences, but largely because of the language used.
The prose is heavily descriptive and displays an almost ostentatious use of English vocabulary, to the point that some sentences become (unintentionally) amusing to read; the author seems to be trying a little too hard to impress.
It took several chapters to fathom any kind of insight into what was going on, and at no point was I entertained in the slightest.
This might hit the right nerve for readers that are themselves depressed, or have been, but otherwise I can only recommend to those who enjoy the idea of a surreal, abstract English lesson.
