3.5 stars. (Why won't Goodreads let us do half stars? Grrrr). 
 I actually really liked this story. I'd tried reading it previously and couldn't get past the choppy writing style. I'm glad I finally picked it up and tried again. 
 The idea of dreamcatchers is intriguing. I hadn't ever read a story like it before. I liked Janie and Cabel quite a bit. I liked their complicated lives, and Janie's ability would be so annoying. 
 The biggest reason I didn't give this a higher rating was the tense and writing style. I think it would have been much better written in 1st person present than in 3rd. The third person narrative keeps us a distance from Janie that I felt hindered the connectivity and urgency we could have felt. I would have given it 4-4.5 stars if it had been in 1st person. 
 There is also the issue with the choppy starts and stops. I know it was done for a reason--most likely to emulate dreams, but I didn't care for it. 
 Even with those couple of minuses, I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading FADE and GONE. They're extremely quick reads, and Cabe is pretty dreamy. Who doesn't like that?
