Review: Dreamland

Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Author: Robert L Anderson

I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.

This book features the fascinating Odea Donahue who has been able to travel through people's dream since she was just 6 years old. She follows her mothers rules about walking in dreams until there is a new boy Connor in town. She opens up to him and begins to wonder whether she should tell him about walking through dreams. Then for the first time Odea breaks the rules and suddenly the boundary between the dreamland and the real world, she finds herself not sure of what is real and what is dream.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was absolutely completely addicted to the novel, I just couldn't put it down. The way that the author uses the words he has carefully picked opens up the readers mind and makes the images vivid, almost like it is happen too you. The descriptions he uses for Odea make her seem extremely realistic and like you are reading a biography, even though the thought of walking through dreams seems far-fetched it feels like that it could be real.
This is a unique book, I have never read a book like this before but I would definitely read more like this and read more by this author. There are some rather chilling moments, which made me grip onto the pages and not let it go. I can tell this is a book that I will read many times and pass on to people so they can also enjoy it. I truly loved this book and I am so happy that I got to read this novel.
