The Sleepless by Victor Manibo
4.0
Solid SF thriller read. The tone of the writing was perfect for me. The dialogue generally felt realistic, and the protagonist did not have a snarky jokey narration. It hit the right serious mood for me. That’s difficult for me to find, so the book gets a lot of points just for that.
I also enjoyed the plot overall. There was one major thing I saw coming and another thing I wish had been different, but I was mostly satisfied with the intrigue and the mystery. If anything I wish the idea of Sleeplessness and capitalism were explored even more.
The ending was like “oof” but definitely in the right way, a believable way.
I’ll definitely try more from this author when he comes out with more!
