It was pretty slow at first. I found it hard to get into, but it picked up pretty fast after the first 50 pages. Overall, the book was excellent! The only flaw, which really isn't a flaw was that I wasn't too into it at the beginning.

Short read on sci-fi/dystopian, about George Orr who has powerful dreams that could alter reality. He was sent to a psychiatrist, who then used George’s dream to create an ideal world. Or was it?

I don’t have a strong opinion on this book. Centralising the question of ethics, I believe this book has stated its preferences already based on the outcomes narrated. It also contains elaborated explanations on sleep and dream, go figure what it has led me to.
