Poet Anderson ...Of Nightmares
by Tom DeLonge and Suzanne Young
Published October 6th 2015 by To the Stars
From the critically acclaimed transmedia project Poet
Anderson: The Dream Walker, comes one of the most anticipated collaborations in
YA literature this year: a thrilling, edge of your seat story written by
award-winning musician, producer and director Tom DeLonge and New York Times
bestselling author Suzanne Young.
Poet Anderson...Of Nightmares follows the epic journey
of two orphan brothers, Jonas and Alan, who are Lucid Dreamers. After a tragic
car accident lands Alan in a coma, Jonas sets out into the Dream World in an
attempt to find his brother and wake him up. What he discovers instead is an
entire shared consciousness where fear comes to life as a snarling beast called
a Night Terror, and a creature named REM is bent on destruction and misery,
devouring the souls of the strongest dreamers to get closer to the Waking
World. With the help of a Dream Walker—a guardian of the dreamscape, Jonas must
face his fears, save his brother, and become who he was always meant to be:
Poet Anderson.
Poet
Anderson…of Nightmares was a very interesting and intriguing read
that was quite different from anything that I have read to date – it definitely
is a book that took me out of my comfort zone.
It was a really well-written book
that really showcases the imaginative minds of the authors. I found this action-packed story not only an
entertaining and engaging story, but one that had a lot of interesting
characters that I not only liked but started to care about.
There were times when I thought the story dragged on a
bit, but then it would pick back up and keep me on the edge of my seat. The ending hints at a sequel but for the most
part but this story wrapped up nicely.
The book I received for review was a special edition and included a CD with four songs by Angels and Airwaves. Although the music isn't my taste, the songs will probably interest others. Along with the CD, a mini poster was also included. It was a nice surprise to have the extra goodies included
in a book and I think it will appeal to others as well if they purchase the special edition.
There is no denying the talent that these two authors
have. The writing is fluid and well done, and the characters are well-developed
and interesting. I would recommend this
novel to most young adult readers, especially those with a fondness towards
fantasy with a small dose of romance.
On a side note – the F word is used A LOT in this book,
so if you get easily offended by curse words, this book might not be one for
you.
