I cannot wait to read this book, solely for the psychological aspect you mentioned (I'm a Psychology major). Beyond that, the story and the character development as you described it make me want to move this to the top of my "to read" list

What a really great and insightful review! This book struck my curiosity with the blurb. I did pick up a copy. The cover adds a bit of intrigue too. This is definitely on my ever-growing list of books to read. I can't wait to read it and give my own opinion on it!

Very interesting review. I am not sure I wanted to read a psychological thriller right after Final Notice. This review piqued my interest enough I will put it on a shelf to reconsider after I think happy thoughts and play with puppies to clear my worry center.

I was taken back by the simple cover but the review made me want to jump right into reading Everything Solid Has a Shadow. I love a good psychological mystery!

A psychological thriller doesn’t sound like my kind of book, but it’s always good to see well-written novels. The dream element does sound interesting. Thanks for the review.

I love psychological thrillers, so I hope this book will not disappoint. It's hard to find a book of this genre that perfectly, or almost perfectly, manages to explore its psychological aspect. Usually, there's a lot of physical action and not too much mental struggle. I'll read a couple pages and see how it goes. Thank you for the review.

Latest Review: Final Notice by Van Fleisher

Hmm, a psychology story where the protagonist grows as a person. This is a very hard topic to get right and I commend the author for doing a good job with it. It doesn't sound like the type of mystery I would be interested in, but the author did seem to do a good job with it.
Thanks for the review, I enjoyed reading it!

The sample for this book was very well written. The reviewer's comments that the author builds from this using dreaming makes the story even more intriguing.

I read the sample and was immediately intrigued. From the very beginning, the author jumps right into the story. I really felt for Charlie upon reading the first few pages, where the author was discussing his childhood traumatic event. Add in the element about his clairvoyant dream and I am hooked. I downloaded the book and will be adding it to my "To Read" list. I, like you, also appreciate the vocabulary used by the author. Thanks for a great review!

I love a good story line like this. Characters and dialogue that is well thought out helps bring the story to life and that just brings me into the story. I've got to finish this one to see how things work out for Charlie. Great review.

While I was initially uncertain as to whether or not this book would be one I would enjoy, after reading your thorough and convincing review; I had to reconsider my rush to judgment. I am intrigued and cannot wait to add this repertoire.

Latest Review: Five of Pentacles by Anna Munson

Post by Poppy Drear »

I've been looking for a book with well-written dialogue for a while now! Maybe I'll consider reading this one, despite the fact that it's a departure from my usual genres of choice. Dream interpretation has a strong presence in mythology, so it'll be interesting to see a contemporary take on the subject.

Based on your review, it looks like I will like this book. I love books that are intellectual, have well-developed characters, and where authors do their research on subjects that are uncommon. I, myself, am intrigued with dream interpretation so it'll be nice to see a plot surrounding that. I am going to give this book a chance and have it be next on my reading list.

This doesn’t seem like a book I’d normally go for but I do like dream interpretation, so you caught my attention there.
