Fever Dream

Loved this. An unique way to tell a story. Felt the Amanda's anxiety all the way through.

I’m going with 4 stars because it was a very compelling story. Really effectively tense. Unfortunately I chose to finish the audiobook while making dinner, so it got a little spotty at the end. But I think it’s one of those where you can interpret things differently, there isn’t necessarily one right way to see all the specifics of the end.

It got a little repetitive between Amanda and David with all the “that’s not important!” And “there isn’t much time!” but it did make it feel urgent.

This is the third book I’ve read out of Argentina and they have all been really strange like this. 3 is not a good sample, but is this a national style to some degree?? If so, I’m for it!

All I could hear whenever the narrator said, “David!!” were the characters of Schitt’s Creek.

Wow, this was truly chilling. I had to read quite a few reviews to get a well rounded understanding of the themes in this book, because I have to say I'm quite ignorant to some of the allegories explored here. But on its own, this story was a perfect blend of hazy confusion, rising panic, and terrifying realization from beginning to end. The format was completely unique, and confusing a lot of the time, but I do think it enhanced the mystery and urgency of the story. Don't be like me and read this at 2 am right before you go to bed.

The pacing was good and the story premise was interesting, but I just... don’t get it. As in, it was confusing and I wasn’t able to tie the plot points together into anything meaningful. The equivalent of needing to sneeze really bad and then the sneeze disappearing.

Such a strange but intriguing book. Felt chills on my spine because of the impending dread of something terrible going to happen. Still a bit confused after reading it, but in a good way. Hope this author writes more books!
