Review of 'Fever Dream' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

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.
