Review:
After Janie and Carl at the end of the 1st Bands "Wake" become the "Dream Catcher" trilogy a couple, they are now working together for the police, for Janie with her dream catcher-gifts is a real stroke of luck. Janie, thanks for this gift can put in other people's dreams, this positive influence and include, where appropriate, relevant findings from these dreams.
The next case of Janie and Carl as expected in the present volume, has it all: A teacher at her high school students to sexually harass. Janie is to go with her gift of the case on the ground, and this teacher found, there is not clear who it is in the process. Janie soon encounters its limits and also makes Carl their growing concern, for it is very difficult to clear with the fact that Janie approach gets down to some teachers in order to solve this case.
As in "Wake" is also "Dream" are made of short sections that are divided by date and time. At the writing style by Lisa McMann, the sometimes choppy comes along, you have to get used to, but because the act is to quickly immersed in the story.
"Dream" is from the first page exciting and this voltage also keeps to the end. Unfortunately, the book is in my opinion (as was the first one) too short, for it to happen on the 270 pages of so many things that one can hardly breathing, so come thick and fast the individual events.
It is positive that the characters of Janie and Carl have definitely evolved. both products in the first volume still portrayed relatively superficial, they get in "Dream" a palpable depth that it makes me as a reader now much more sympathetic and also the love story of two is detailed and comprehensible.
The basic theme, Janie's gift as Traumfängerin, I think still very interesting and I'm really looking forward to the completion of the trilogy: "Gone" has already appeared in the original bound at Simon Pulse in February 2010, the paperback edition in January 2011. When there is a German translation is not yet fixed.
For the design of the book: The cover is designed to match the first volume, this time in a golden tone, in the front door ajar is seen through the gap, a narrow strip of light breaking through the dominant black of the cover. Why, however, the present German title gets a new English name and not a German, which probably seems more and more to come into fashion again remains a mystery to me.
Rating: 4 of 5 points
left, the German cover, right on the cover by the publisher Simon & Schuster: The right Cover of the original like me personally way better, probably mainly because I am the color blue in all shades like very much and I like the idea with the crystal glass and the individual drops very well.
