Jennifer B. White is a masterful storyteller yet again in
“Dead Asleep”, a book that is superbly written and equally compelling. No
matter what you think you might learn from your analysis of your own dreams
this book will totally enthrall and challenge you. This story will make you
re-examine the connections in your life as well as your appreciation and
gratitude for them all.
Kevin Macy tells us the story of his life as a divorced man
who drinks and smokes to excess. He is a man who holds “things” as the real
value in his life only to discover that his life is insignificant. We follow
him on his spellbinding journey into the realm of “Dreamsharing” where his life
unfolds as he searches for meaning. He meets Claire, a woman with narcolepsy,
who appears to know and share Kevin's dreams. They feel a deep connection with
each other despite the fact that they have only just met.
Kevin’s story will grab you and plunge you into his dream
world. White has the amazing ability to define her characters in a way that
enables you to feel their strong emotional upheaval which compels you forward
as you become part of the story. Her characters are artfully crafted, well defined
and intriguing.
The characters that Kevin encounters in his dreams reveal
their own story in a poignant, thoughtful and compassionate way. You will be
swept up in this book and immersed in the story encountering interesting
characters with exceptional and unexpected plot twists along the way.
“Dead Asleep” is a book I would recommend to all readers.
