This book is short and strange, and it honestly only serves to try and replicate the exact feeling you get while you’re dreaming and right after you wake up. It was interesting, and the author conveyed that feeling perfectly. However, the book really does not have a plot to it at all.

An interesting, and very short, read, but this book isn't going to be one that sticks with me.

This book was okay. A super fast read (I came home from a family shin-dig and read it in one sitting, within an hour and a half). It's about a guy who wakes up after being beaten into a coma, only to realize he's still in a coma. He keeps waking up, and he continues to be in a coma, traveling around this coma-dream-world he finds himself in. Nothing mind-blowing occurs, though an interesting excursion if you have some time to kill.

Fine, but as a long time fan of Garland this is disapointingly slight.
Nothing against his film work, 28 Days Later and Sunshine are both great, but it'd be nice if he wrote BOOKS again.

I listened to this in five parts on the BBC Radio site.
It was trippy. What's real? What's illusion? Carl is attacked in the subway, and everything changes. Santa may know when the main character is sleeping and when he's awake, but Carl doesn't. Has a day gone by? Weeks? No time at all? It would be a perfect Twilight Zone episode.
