Suspenseful, enoyable...prepare yourself!,
By
This review is from: Sleep No More (Paperback)
John Waters is a happily married man, with a daughter he loves very much. But one day, something happens to shatter all that. A beautiful stranger speaks to him across a football field, and sends him spiralling back into the past, to a time in his life that he would rather forget. Mallory Candler and John used to be an item, until one day her overwhelming passion threatened to destroy them both, and he had to break it off, choosing stability and security over passion and ecstasy with the beautiful Mallory. She, like John, went on to marry and have children, until one day all that ended when she was found raped and murdered on a New Orleans pier. Now, Mallory seems to have returned in the form of Eve Sumner...Eve bears not just Mallory’s smile and intense sexuality, but she also knows things about their relationship that only Mallory could. Then, when they cross paths once more at a party and she whispers to him “You’re not imagining anything, John. It’s me. Call me.” Waters’ soul chills. Soon, he becomes involved with Eve, and she tells him things that seem scarcely within the realms of belief…But to John Waters, strike unavoidably true. Beware: To read this novel, you need an open mind. If you have one, you will be fine. Because, whilst this is a suspense novel, and to some extents (although not many) also a mystery, there are several strong elements of the supernatural. These elements work well, and help in the formation of this original, engaging tale. It’s got a good, reasoned pace, which follows some nice, likeable characters. Ordinary people made fascinating by the events that happen to them, and how they act. It’s written in concise, flowing prose, with nice descriptions of the South, and is a good study on the nature of obsession and all-consuming passion. While this is certainly an enjoyable, diverting read, I do have some mixed feelings about it. “Sleep No More” should most certainly be classified as a “supernatural thriller”, to give the reader at least some idea of what they are in for. At times, the book seems a little thin. It needs a few good subplots injecting into it to build on the, sometimes, simple plot. However, my main foible is with the ending…The resolution is a little unsatisfying, when you consider that this is what the entire novel has been building up to. Also, the final “twist” which has its origins in the supernatural elements of the book, just seems far too convenient. In the end, it’s certainly worth a read because it’s enjoyable and very suspenseful, but don’t expect it to be brilliant.

Steady Read,
By Thomas (Lower Stondon, Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sleep No More (Paperback)
This book some how manages to make you want to keep on reading it, the story line is interesting but in my opinion its a bit long winded. You get to know the characters in the book really well, but in some points the twists and turns in the storyline makes you question what you first thought.

Excellent, if a little strange,
By Hayley Holding (Benfleet, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sleep No More (Paperback)
Very strange and a little far fetched. Very well written and i found that i had trouble putting it down. If you are able to get passed that fact that the plot is completely different from some of his other books, you'll find that it's a great read.
