Review Detail

I thought that the cure for dreaming was an eerie and beautifully written book. I found the characters to be very fun to read about and interesting. Throughout the book there were real historical pictures and many were of antique dental tools, which were very scary and dangerous looking back in the 1890s- 1900s. Olivia's father was actually a dentist in the book, and he had a very creepy feel to him. I thought he was a very well developed and fascinating character to read about. Every scene that he was in was delightfully scary.
As I said, this book has real historical pictures in it, and they really connect to the story and
help give you a clear picture of the world in 1900. Overall I think they were a great edition to the book.
As well as Olivia's dad I think Olivia herself is a strong main character and someone you really want to root for. Henry was mysterious and interesting to read about. There really aren't many books with hypnotists in them so this was a nice change. I think all of the characters were very different from each other which I really like in a book.
The whole idea of the story was just very creative and made you want to just keep reading. Right from the first chapter you're hooked on the story and can't put the book down. The writing is easy to follow and its very different from any other historical fiction books mainly because of the hypnosis element.
The only problem that I had with this book was its ending. I was left with so many questions at the end of the story, and I think that an epilogue would have been a nice touch. I just felt like there could have been just a little more. Overall though I definitely recommend this book for anyone even if you don't like historical fiction, you'll like this. Wonderful book!
