Quick read, there parts to skim through when the author became repetitive.
Excellent writing…plot!
This book was very unexpected..it kept me interested wondering what the outcome would be.
It opened my eyes to what children may be fighting and the way the mind can manipulate how people , especially children can become delusioned by thier own minds. Everyone who works with children should read this book.
There are a few books that I would love turned into a movie and this is one of them. (Only if they would follow the book as it is written).
I could not put this book down.
I knew a little about the levels of sleep but I had no idea of what could happen if you did not get enough sleep or reach all of the cycles of sleep.
This story was entertaining in a scary sort of way. It makes me wonder if that form of sleepwalking is really possible. It would explain a lot if it were true. I experienced it first hand because my brother was a sleep walker and he could lead an intelligent conversation while in the form. I can also see how the paranormal could enter in. It does play with ones mind.
This book makes you think about mental illness and how many children in prisons and institutions that had one on one programs designed specifically for them could be healthy contributing adults.
Learned much. A sleepwalker myself in preteen years.
A main character who is frayed around the edges but keeps on.
Very informative!
Technical, but terrific. Very unusual plot. Protagonist complicated but believable. Good read.
Too drawn out. Couldn’t get involved with the characters.
Original story line with great character development. Really enjoyed this page turner.
This book will make you rethink sleep walking. It will keep you reading to see what happens next
Well written and believable. Loved the characters and suspense.
I found it interesting. I was encouraged that the characters overcame their relationship problems in order to help a child in trouble.
Wow! Mesmerizing book about an unusual topic. It’s a work of fiction, but still, could it really happen? This book was entertaining and compelling.
Just OK for me
It was just ok
An excellent read!
