Reviews

DREAM ON had such a unique ability of keeping the reader on edge, with an undeniable urge to never put the book down. The characters are all captivating and mysterious in their own ways, creating a storyline that's difficult to find in most other books. Aaron Patterson has blended sci-fi, love, drama and action all into one, making this book speak on all levels of life. Expect to be consumed. Expect to finish....and want MORE! --Samantha S.<br /><br />I read the first book by Aaron Patterson (Sweet Dreams) and was very anxious for this sequel. I was not disappointed. This book kept me guessing with every page turn. It's very well written and I really enjoyed the technology employed which makes it just a bit futuristic without being over done. This was a fantastic suspenseful thriller that kept me guessing throughout the entire book. Mr. Patterson has become my favorite fiction writer. --Donna Hurst Boise, ID
