The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker

4.0

The Dreamers is a mellow pandemic novel. Mellow like the mysterious sleeping sickness is effecting people in an isolated California college town. It starts in a dorm and spreads throughout the town. There are a handful of people who are the main characters in this story and the narrative bounces from person to person. I don't feel like it ever focused enough on a single character to let you get fully invested in them.

Overall, I enjoyed the book as a quick, light pandemic read. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
