Commentary Supposing Books Sleepless

From bestselling author Charlie Huston comes a novel about the fears that find us all during dark times and the courage and sacrifice that can save us in the face of unimaginable odds. Gripping, unnerving, exhilarating, and haunting, Sleepless is well worth staying up for.

What former philosophy student Parker Hass wanted was a better world. A world both just and safe for his wife and infant daughter. So he joined the LAPD and tried to make it that way. But the world changed. Struck by waves of chaos carried in on a tide of insomnia. A plague of sleeplessness.

Park can sleep, but he is wide awake. And as much as he wishes he was dreaming, his eyes are open. He has no choice but to see it all. That's his job. Working undercover as a drug dealer in a Los Angeles ruled in equal parts by martial law and insurgency, he's tasked with cutting off illegal trade in Dreamer, the only drug that can give the infected what they most crave: sleep.

After a year of lost leads and false trails, Park stumbles into the perilous shadows cast by the pharmaceuticals giant behind Dreamer. Somewhere in those shadows, at the nexus of disease and drugs and money, a secret is hiding. Drawn into the inner circle of a tech guru with a warped agenda and a special use for the sleepless themselves, Park thinks he knows what that secret might be.
 
To know for certain, he will have to go deeper into the restless world. His wife has become sleepless, and their daughter may soon share the same fate. For them, he will risk what they need most from him: his belief that justice
must be served. Unknown to him, his choice ties all of their futures to the singularly deadly nature of an aging mercenary who stalks Park.

The deeper Park stumbles through the dark, the more he is convinced that it is obscuring the real world. Bring enough light and the shadows will retreat. Bring enough light and everyone will see themselves again. Bring enough light and he will find his way to the safe corner, the harbor he's promised his family. Whatever the cost to himself.

It is July 2010.

The future is coming.

Judge Regarding Books Sleepless

A book that takes a different look at the zombie archetype and instead looks at it through a disease that causes sleeplessness. I found the premise to be too intriguing to pass up, even though I feel Huston is not a good writer, save for The Shotgun Rule. However, what came to pass was a book that bored me to tears by the last 100 pages and I wished death on myself a few times while trying to finish it. It was a long journey through the desert, the reading of this, only at the end there is no

Well, if you like your novels nihilistic and thick with "authenticity", this is the novel for you. I only made it 1/2 way through, though I wish I could have read more. It was simply too vulgar and rife with gaming terminology, which blocked the flow of the book. There are so many f-bombs in this book it's the literary equivalent of Iraq & Afghanistan. It felt like constantly moving around roadblocks to get thru the storyline. And that's a shame, because the actual story and the pacing moved

I think there's every possibility that I've been spoiled by my previous experience with Charlie Huston's books. Prior to picking up Sleepless I'd read all the Joe Pitt Casebooks, the absolutely excellent The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death and the first Hank Thompson book, Caught Stealing. Actually, to be absolutely clear I should say that with the exception of two of the Joe Pitt books, I listened to all of them as audio books because Charlie Huston is a master of dialogue and that

Imagine if the recent Great Panic financial crisis of 2008 was accompanied by a realization that an illness had spread across the population. On top of the subprime meltdown, a devastating illness has left a huge portion of the population unable to sleep. It takes about a year of zombie-like existence for the sleepless to die. The world has fallen into chaos, isolation and martial law. Sleepless is set in this post-apocalyptic Los Angeles.The two protagonists in Sleepless are Park, an

This is a fantastic book. Funny thing is, when I started this one last year after summer, I just could not get through the intro, this is a book which does not read easily (for me). It is also a book that needs your full attention, with all the happenings and details. Now, I had time and started again, knowing this had to be good. Well.. it is. Brilliant story, apocalyptic, but also, a story about love. It keeps you hanging on til the end and the story is so cleverly built, it is never boring

I would give this book 4.5 stars. I really enjoyed it but I believe that the subject matter will have a limited audience for two reasons. First, some readers may not be interested in the end of days theme. Second, and more importantly, there is an sub-theme that includes the MMO gaming world that I'm not sure to which many readers would relate. I used to play WOW for about 2 1/2 years, before I had the baby, and I really appreciated how Huston connected the virtual with the non-virtual world in

I started reading this the day before my son was born, so I pretty much experienced the story the same way as most of the characters: tired as hell and not really comprehending what was going on. Seriously, there were nights I forced myself to stay up and read, and I was so exhausted that my right eye wasn't even really focusing. Which is a kinda-perfect metaphor for the half-focused story. Initially, Huston seems to have written Sleepless only to comment on how the prevalence of online gaming
