4.25 Stars Dream for Me presents an interesting premise: in the future, almost no one sleeps. What does this mean for the world and what does it mean for those few who do sleep?
It was interesting to see the little differences in the world that marked it as being in the future without everyone wearing silver and flying in hover crafts. There were biometric locks, fancier phone-like communication devices, and electric cars. They also had personal rooms instead of bedrooms, as beds were no longer necessary items. All these things, and more, made it feel much more realistic and potentially possible.
I really enjoyed seeing Shay’s fascination with sleep, and Jacob, the last sleeper in America. It was good to see Jacob thaw from his status a “Number One Lab Rat” to see Shay in a different light than all the other scientists in his past. I would have liked to see Jacob’s feelings develop more though. We see time pass and can believe he feels the way he does, but a lot of the time is glossed over.
The adventure and intrigue with Jacob’s family and the government was well developed and kept me invested in the story. I enjoyed the little plot twists and the outcome.
Overall, a great little sci-fi piece with a believable couple. I wish there was a little more emotion between Shay and Jacob but otherwise really enjoyed it!
