Not the target audience for this book, really evident because this book drove me nuts. It needed to be edited before publishing, so many sentences that are long and pointless. Words should be have been cut left, right and centre to help this. But this book was painful to read couldn’t get pass halfway.

Most think they know their friends down to their dreams. But what about their nightmares? Few of us can imagine the horrible, terrifying things that lurk in the recesses of our mind. One young man named Kyle will be forced to witness his friends' and even strangers' deepest secrets against his will. But what about his own nightmare?

I love the auther for her Noughts & Crosses series, so I thought I'd try some of her other work.
I didn't enjoy this book half as much as the other series, but it was still a nice read. Again, differant and interesting.

Couldn't finish this book. I'd heard of Malorie Blackman and knew second-hand that she was a very good author, but I just didn't like her style.
The plot, now that I think of it, was quite interesting, but I thought it could have been done better, or in different circumstances. Most of all I just didn't like the way it was narrated. Too much first person, far too much. Most of it wasn't even necessary, though I suppose since all the nightmares were personal then it made sense, but not if Kyle was actually inside their head and watching them. Then the first person nonsense was rather redundant.
I'm actually disappointed that I didn't enjoy this book, and rather confused that I couldn't even make myself finish it. I did make it past half-way, however, and, naughtily, I read the last page. Probably wouldn't have been worth it, anyway.
