I found the main character very interesting. The book is well written but the use of constant profanity was unnecessary.

Don't bother with this contrivance. The mystery is how so much hogwash can sell. If you can get beyond the 3rd chapter, you are a real reader.

Not his best. I found it slow and plodding, so I didn't finish it.

Gourmet Magazine was a wonderful publication before Ruth Reichl. The descent was quite rapid as nothing was the same. The focus was totally redesigned and the result was predictable. No food publication has yet taken its place.

After reading only 100 pages, I came to the conclusion that "While You Sleep" is one of the worst books I have ever read.

Beautifully written but this book needed an editor with more management skills in keeping two stories integrated. I want to read more from this author.

If you are an Agatha Christie fan, don't bother to read this takeoff.

I loved The Nightingale, but this repetitious tale was a trifle boring. I skimmed through a lot and was glad when it ended.

Mary is better when she has help. No suspense in this one, though. Right away you know the killer.

What became of our cool, street-wise Kinsey? She's been replaced by a potty mouthed insecure rambler, that's what. Sadly, there was no interest in finding what happened in the other half of the book. A real disappointment!

Very disappointing. Ms Peters was a gifted writer with wit and intelligence. In this work, the attempt at wit is overdone and the plot meanders.

I found this read to be very disappointing and plodding. It doesn't pick up until the end. The new character Ballard is coarse and dependent.

This was a fine read until the middle when credibility was lost. The author tried too hard to shock and it did not come off as real.
