Summary: Seventeen year old Janie
is anything but normal. She is keeping a secret. If anyone found out,
they'd think she's a freak. See; Janie can enter people's dreams.
Sometimes, they're good ones, but then there are the nightmares. Either
way, she doesn't like having this so-called "power." Not one bit.

Review:

Plot and Writing: I
do love the premise and the storyline of this one. It is very original,
and is something I havenot read about before. I also enjoyed the
author's style of writing. Some may call it choppy and a bit awkward,
but I have to admit, I quite liked it. I thought that it was as unique
as the plot itself.

Character: I
did like the main characters. However, I felt as if I still don't know
much about them yet. There wasn't any sort of development yet, but this
is the first book in a trilogy after all, so I'll let that
small negative pass. Despite the lack of depth, I still found them
likable and believable enough to make me want to pick up its sequel.

Overall: Wake is
a really quick read; fairly short and fast-paced. It's the intriguing
premise that ultimately captures me and my attention. Was it a good
book? Yes, but not worthy of 5 stars. I give it 3 stars instead; an
okay-good read. I still do think it's worth your time and worth
reading, as it is interesting. It's also good enough to make me look
forward for the next one.
