Into the Dream

I am re-reading this book after about 20 years since I first read it. Amazingly, I still remember the title of the book after all these years as I read it several times in my early teens. I just loved it then, and there are certainly very few books for young people that make such an impression that a reader will remember the title 20 years later! I found it gripping and intriguing. I would recommend this book for any young reader.

About 15 years ago, I read all the books my school library had by William Sleator, but the library did not have this book. I bought it recently, and I read it last night in one sitting! Very rarely does a book capture my interest to that degree; this book is just extremely gripping and fast-moving. Also, the dream itself and the kids' pursuit by the two men are very scary, and I had to know what was going to happen. Although I could complain a bit about lack of character development, I did find that I cared about the characters; however, a sequel that added some depth to them and explained the UFO more would be most welcome. I think this book would be a great choice both for reluctant young readers and for those who devour YA horror and/or sci-fi books, regardless of age.

I am glad to see that kids love this book today as much as I enjoyed it when I was their age! I highly recommend this amazing blend of sci-fi and mystery to anyone, young or old.

From the first chapter, I knew I would love this book! My teacher read this book to my class, but she read only a chapter a day.I searched every search engine until I could find it so I could buy it myself! If you simply can't tear yourself away from adventure, mystery and suspense [books], this is a must-read!

People should read "Into the Dream" because a lot of parts are very intense. I had no trouble understanding the plot. It wasn't very long so it's easy to finish. There are two people that are having the same dream every night. They know somrthing bad is going to happen. Find out the problem when you read it!
