Title: A Different Genre Than Earlier Works
Product review: "Sleep No More" was disappointing and dissatisfying when compared to "Mortal Fear", "Black Cross", "Spandau Phoenix" and "The Quiet Game". The cover endorsement by Stephen King should have been enough indication, but I didn't take heed. I have no objection to the premise of the book, and didn't find "Sleep No More" disturbing or even mildly unsettling. Worse, I found the plot tedious and the characters not the intelligent residents of Mr. Iles' previous writings cited above. I could put "Sleep No More" down and wait days to read more, and that was very disappointing because I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. reading his earlier books. Don't expect the same style, concise story-telling, crisp plot and language, or characters of Greg Iles' earlier stories. If you like basic horror/fantasy, you might enjoy "Sleep No More."
