Nod

(1 Rezension)

Dawn breaks over Vancouver and no-one in the world has slept the night before, or almost no-one. A few people, perhaps one in ten thousand can still sleep, and they've all shared the same golden dream. A handful of children still sleep as well, but what they're dreaming remains a mystery. After six days of absolute sleep deprivation, psychosis will set in.

Rezensionen

hat Nod von Adrian Barnes besprochen

Meh. I expected much more from the premise, but the book fell very flat. The writing in particular was awful. Even considering that the narrator is an etymologist, the amount of different words in such a short book is just pretentious. The story doesn't do anything to salvage the writing, leaving the characters rather bland and flat. I didn't care about any of them and there were hardly any moments of suspense. I cannot recommend this book.
