Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass
Story time:
I was looking through the sleeping and self help books in the Barnes and Nobles. I couldn't find anything I wanted to read, so I went down and sat down at my wife. She was reading some boring pregnancy book. I was trying to decide what to read and my wife asked me a question.
I can't remember the question, but I just saw a book with the word "Lucid" written in big letters on the front. I jumped. I looked at my hands for an RC. Surprised, I went up and got the book (after answering my wife's question of course :P). It was the book Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass.
It is about a girl that every time she goes to sleep she switches lives. During each one she thinks that the other one is just a dream. I read the first 50 pages or so. Has anyone read this book? Is it worth the read?
Here is what Amazon wrote:
Quote:
What if you could dream your way into a different life? What if you could choose to live that life forever?
Sloane and Maggie have never met. Sloane is a straight-A student with a big and loving family. Maggie lives a glamorously independent life as an up-and-coming actress in New York. The two girls couldn't be more different--except for one thing. They share a secret that they can't tell a soul. At night, they dream that they're each other.
The deeper they're pulled into the promise of their own lives, the more their worlds begin to blur dangerously together. Before long, Sloane and Maggie can no longer tell which life is real and which is just a dream. They realize that eventually they will have to choose one life to wake up to, or risk spiraling into insanity. But that means giving up one world, one love, and one self, forever.
This is a dazzling debut that will steal readers' hearts.
I actually don't see how it has anything to do with lucid dreaming, but it might go to that later in the book.
I would have probably just read it straight through, but it is actually meant for teen girls to read. I am neither of those things, but I normally don't care about that if it is a good book.
