I liked the concepts of reality, life, and death that are explored but the descriptiveness of it, while brilliant, sometimes became heavy and in the way. There are also some scenes in the 200 of pages of the multi level climax that are unclear as to what is exactly happening. Part of the issue is we, as the reader, understand that time is different in certain situations and what is happening in the climax, as far as times concerned, doesn’t seem to match up with how we’ve seen time elapse before. Instead, I ended up being mixed up, having to reread a few sentences back over and over and really just thinking to myself, can we get to the climax already. The action is so drawn out with memories, backstories, and just a bunch of random thoughts that it’s like moving through molasses during scenes that should be intense, riveting, and holding you on the edge with bated breath to see what’s going to happen. For insomnia though, the length is not needed and leads to starting, stalling, and confusion during the most important moments in the book. One of my all time favorite books is Atlas Shrugged which is at least around 1200 pages. That being said, while there is much to love about this book, I found a lot of issues as well. To imagine transferring the ideals, judgement, and character of a fictional person into your real life. I know that when I come across situations in my life that call for me to have strong character I will channel some of Ralph Roberts into my actions. Most of all the character development is amazing. There are a lot of things I love about this book. The dying has been going on in Derry for a long, long time, and Ralph Roberts will soon find that lack of sleep is the least of his worries. There’s definitely a mean streak that’s always been running through this small New England city underneath its ordinary surface, awesome and terrifying forces are at work. During his overnight walks, he’s now observing some strange things going on here in Derry, Maine-and they’re more than sleep-deprived hallucinations. Each night he wakes up a little bit earlier, until he’s barely sleeping at all. He also never expected to begin suffering from chronic insomnia for the first time in his life. “Sleep, that undiscriminating friend, humankind’s best and most reliable nurse since the dawn of time, had abandoned him again.” Ralph Roberts never expected to live out his remaining golden years mourning the death of his beloved wife.
