What was this book about?
Janie has a secret. Ever since she was a young girl she has been able to (or more like forced to) jump into people’s dreams. It is a scary dream world out there and having to live people’s worst nightmares can make it difficult for any teen. She will do anything to keep her secret a secret.
When she meets Cabel she wants to know more about him. But he has his own secrets to keep.
Can Janie figure out a way to live her life with this “talent”? Is there any way she can control it?
What did you think about the book?
First I have to give major accolades to anyone who includes the University of Michigan in their books. I went there. I love it there – and if you cut me I would probably bleed maize and blue. So for me though U-M played a very minor role – I liked that about it.
Normally I don’t enjoy books that are what I call “jumpy”. That they move from thing to thing with short cut scenes. But for some reason (probably the subject of the book) this was fine in this one. I actually don’t know how else you would accomplish the story telling without making it much longer then it needed to be.
So I liked the book. The idea that people dream a lot about things that are bothering them or are symbolic I don’t really know. Many of my dreams make absolutely no sense and are not about any sort of traumatic thing that happened to me (or anything that I wish would happen). I am definitely waiting for “Fade” the next book in the series and will read that one as well.
