Poet Anderson ...Of Nightmares (Enhanced Edition)

This was an awesome read, and I don't like reading that much. Finished the book in two days, could not put it down. I am very immersed in the Poet Anderson story after watching the animation several times and reading the comic series. Kind of regretting waiting this long to get the book, can't wait for the new ones.

I recommend this to everyone who would like a good read

I enjoyed reading this book and the descriptions of each character and dreamscape made you feel that you were there! So vivid I can't wait for more books! 😍

A great read with amazing illustrations and enhancements. This is how all enhanced ebooks should be!

I had the chance to read it early on and every night, I'd listen to The Dream Walker Instrumental and read. The imagery was stunning and perfect. I loved this book. It flowed perfectly and couldn't believe it was over when I got to the final page. Suzanne and Thomas, GREAT JOB! Cannot wait for the next 2!

This book is just amazing overall! Tom and Suzanne did an awesome job with this story. The whole wording and introduction were both attention grabbers and it makes you not want to stop reading. We're introduced to two brothers Jonas and Alan, whom are both so self reliant of each other and once a tragedy happens where Alan is stuck in the dream world and Jonas needs to somehow bring him back. He learns to become more independent and self aware of his abilities. He then realizes that he's indeed a Poet and he's set out to defeat REM. It's just an awesome story, and its filled with action and romance. It's worth the read and I'd recommend it to anyone 100%. READ IT.

I can't put it down - it's brilliant and easy to read. Honestly, Tom and Suzanne made the best possible duo. I would also like to suggest you check out the Poet Anderson comics, to get the concept of lucid dreamers. I've always wished I was able to control my dreams, but then again, sometimes we can't even control our lives. What we can do is make great choices, and reading this book is one of them.

Pleasantly surprised w/ the first entry in the Poet Anderson trilogy. Punk rock, clothes, author, I suppose Tom DeLonge can do it all. W/ some help from Suzanne Young, you'll take a journey in and out of the real world and into dreams. Beware the Nightstalkers, go w/ Jonas as he travails love, life, and death. A must read for fall! It won't take you long.

Poet Anderson …Of Nightmares is a like a cannon ball into the Lucid Dreaming and Dreaming world. It is so interesting, intriguing, it is a roller coaster of emotions! The story is very well balanced between action, romance, scifi, drama, thriller. There isn’t too much of one subject and it makes things way more interesting! It’s companion EP as well as the album The Dream Walker by Angels and Airwaves add a ton of emotion while reading the story! It makes it fun and very imaginable, almost like watching a movie! A dream is a dream is a dream!

Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares is the latest installment of a cross-media project written by Tom Delonge and Suzanne Young. I have been a fan of Tom Delonge’s work for over a decade and have particularly enjoyed the Poet Anderson project which has already included an award winning animated short, three comic books, a graphic novel and two albums, The Dream Walker LP and the …Of Nightmares EP which is a companion to the novel. I impatiently awaited the release of the Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares novel and I was not disappointed. The plot is a typical hero’s quest, but what really drew me in was the depth and detail of the world created by Tom Delonge and his creative team. It describes a Dream World, a place where all of us visit when we sleep. Most of us simply wander through the Dream World, unware that we are even dreaming. The Lucid Dreamers are well aware of their dream state and have the ability to control their dreams and, to an extent, change their environment. But there are those in the Dream World who have even greater awareness and even greater abilities. Unbeknownst to most of the Waking World, there is war waging in the Dream World where REM, the epitome of evil and the harbinger of nightmares, strives to not only control the realm in which he exists, but he seeks to enter the Waking World where he can make nightmares real. He and his army of Night Stalkers and Night Terrors consistently battle the Dream Walkers, dreamers who will stop at nothing to put a stop to REMs malevolent ways. Enter Jonas Anderson, an orphan who, like his older brother Alan, are Lucid Dreamers and have enjoyed exploring the Dream World in a very limited capacity. They have suspicions of deeper levels of subconscious awareness but never had a chance to fully explore. After Alan is put into a coma from a terrible and suspicious car accident, Jonas resolves to find a way into the deeper realms of the Dream World to find and retrieve his brother. It is then that Jonas begins to learn the true nature of the Dream World and his place in it. Jonas has a destiny that neither he nor his brother ever imagined and Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares is about his journey to that discovery. In the Dream World he makes many friends and enemies, learns to overcome his fears, to own the pain he has for so long locked away and to trust in himself and the people he loves and love him. The book reads extremely easily and the prose flowed so smoothly that I, as a 40 year old man, initially thought it was a little to “young” for my liking. However, after a few chapters of getting used to Suzanne Young’s style and getting familiar with the world and characters she eloquently describes, it was very easy for me to visualize everything that was transpiring on the pages. The dialogue between Jonas and his younger companions was appropriately juvenile (he is a high school student, after all) and the manner in which the more grown-up characters spoke effectively contrasted the attitudes of the mature and not so mature characters. The development of Jonas’ relationship with his love interest Sam felt particularly awkward, but then, what teenage romance isn’t awkward? The morals and philosophies of the Dream Walkers, though ultimately benevolent, beg us to ask many questions: How far can you go to stop evil, even if it means sacrificing the lives of the good? How far is too far? It is a devastating war the Dream Walkers are fighting and REM has no objection to killing anyone in his way. But when the Dream Walkers determine that Jonas is the key to their victory and to REMs victory, should Jonas be destroyed for the sake of the rest of the world? It is a very important question that the book poses and it is an obvious reflection of our Waking World. It is a question we should be asking ourselves. I enjoyed this book on all levels… the characters, the story, the highly detailed world. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys science-fiction… from cyberpunk to fantasy, space opera to thrillers… it even appealed to the part of my heart that is still 15 years old. The characters are loveable and loathsome, the story is gripping and the settings is unbelievable. The imagination of Tom Delonge is rich and deep and Suzanne Young did an amazing job putting it on paper for all of us to experience. You can order a copy online at tothestars.media
