Yet, I’m thrilled I took a chance on reading The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker. Usually science fiction is a genre I’m tempted to pass over. The Dreamers came to me at exactly the right time. Have you ever had a dream that was so real that you had difficulty orienting yourself to a wakeful state? Have you ever pondered the meaning of your dreams? Have you attempted to make sense of your dreams? Do you think dreams can predict the future? Or have you wondered about the passage of time while you sleep? Have you even been asleep briefly but had a dream that seemed to last a long time? Have you experienced dreams about people who are no longer alive? Thanks #netgalley and #randomhouse for my free copy of #thedreamers in exchange for an honest review. The Dreamers is a story about the people affected and their reactions and actions. The town is quarantined and the National Guard is called in to enforce the quarantine and monitor supplies. No one can wake the first college age victims and soon the virus spreads throughout the town, randomly affecting young and old alike. A remote college town in the hills of drought stricken California sets the scene for this story and a strange illness/virus that causes its victims to fall asleep and experience vivid dreams.
