Dreamland by Sarah Dessen


When I first was introduced to this project I knew I wanted a book with love, excitment, and something to keep me guessing. At first I was not sure if "Dreamland" would be that book with all thoses characteristics. I soon found out I was compleatly wrong about "Dreamland". I guess now it makes sense when people say "don't judge a book by its cover."

In my opinion this book is the best book I have ever read, I can also say that "Dreamland" is the first book to make me feel all my emotions at one time. There were points in my reading when I wanted to cry, yell, or jump for joy, to me that is one spectacular book, I strongly encourage anyone who reads this review to read "Dreamland" and expericance what I have felt.

I have to admit that when I was reding this nook I couldn't put it down. There were so many nights when I would push my homework aside to read it, it was so irrisitable with its mystery, hurt, nad painful love adventures. I expecially liked how the author, Sarah Dessen, really got into each character, each their own person with their own stories to tell. I felt like I knew each person and what they looked like with all thier different emotions. One persons angry emotion really caught me off gaurd, though. That person is Rogerson.

Rogerson Biscoe, at first, was your most perfect guy. He was sweet, intellagent, mysterious, powerful, dangers, and yet gental and loving. He came from a wealthy family, with a realitor mother adn a abusive father. Needless to say, Rogerson picked up some traits from his father that led Caitlin to Evergreen Hospital. But the thing I liked most about Rogerson, was that you could never tell what he was thinking or what he was going to do next.

There is so much to say about "Dreamland," if I said what I want to say you wouldn't have to read the book, I would tell you everything. Between Cass' runing away and Caitlin and her family. I will just say that I feel this book should get an award, becaue it has all the great qualities a great book should have. I think anyone will absolutly love this book and will deffenently encourage their friends to read like I am doing in this review. So what are you waiting for, get reading!!
