I love a book that explores the edge between our world and the dream world and The Sleeping Man does not disappoint. With an intriguing titular main character and a stark landscape the first chapter reminds me slightly of the first book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I am curious to see where this story goes and how far in the Dreamscape the Sleeping Man will take the reader.
The reader is immediately immersed in a thorough, complex world with lots of promises of what's to come. The prophetic verses are a real draw - they're intense and create a great sense of meaning and excitement for the coming story.
