     About The Dreamer... 
     "AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE! I absolutely love this book. I just finished reading it for the second time; although I can't say why I didn't review it the first time around. In any event, this book is amazing. The plot and cast of characters are dynamic, and the story that unfolds compelling." - Online Reader Review
