nothing new under the sun but refences/name drops a little much. maybe I've read too many SCPs to be surprised by anything this book was doing. (Shout out to 4231 and 3966) Fully describing the plot of the Lathe of Heaven making it story relevant is a weird choice. 
Any time a crowd was introduced it'd just be a countdown until all of them died and you wouldn't find out anything about them until this happened so its not like I had any attachment to anyone there.
Probably would've enjoyed it more if I had to work a little harder to figure out the mechanics of everything.

I was expecting a different story than what I read, I thought there would be more tension etc. 

While I didn’t dislike the characters, I just didn’t get fully invested in them or the direction the story took.

Not sure if I'm in the mood for supernatural horror/thriller.
