Dreamers

The concept was interesting and fairly novel, but the story lacked a lot of the exploration in directions the author could have chosen to take it in.
The story started strong and fairly thrilling before waning into a fairly boring a repetitive middle section which picked up again with some more interesting ideas about the dreamers themselves in the final few chapters. Between the heavily clichéd group of characters, from anti pharma college kid to paranoid prepper, I didn't find myself particularly drawn to any individual or rooting for them in any way. I would have liked less blurb of characters going about the town, this middle of the section lacked any thrill or mystery and just kind of dragged on. Delving into the dreams themselves and what the sick were experiencing could have helped spark some interesting ideas here which were briefly touched upon in the lackluster conclusion.
