I loved SNOOZE and its alternate world! I read it straight through. SNOOZE also has themes of grief and loss which resonated deeply with me. I am one of the adult "young-at-heart" readers of SNOOZE and I highly recommend it! I journeyed with the hero Max to a magical dimension and we came out from the other side of mourning and death.
In the span of a few short hours of Halloween, he had met his motherâs old boyfriend, after whom he was apparently named; allowed his brain to be scanned as part of a psychic âtryoutâ; met the blue Max in the Interface only to be told that his fatherâsomewhere, somehowâwas in danger; and in yet another blast from the past, been invited to study with Dr. Morrow, of all people, to harness the power of his dreams.
But Halloween still wasnât quite through with him. As Max stood before his door fumbling in his pocket for his room key, the past reached out once again with the sound of unfettered laughter like ringing bells coming from inside: Tuesdayâs laughter.
It was all Max could do to process this latest bizarre turn of events. Meeting Dr. Morrow again under such circumstances after all these years was enough of a jolt to his system.
But then to find himself staring at a framed photograph on the wall of his father and the doctor standing in front of the Tempus Fugit at the Cape Carnival Jetport was positively a time warp.
âYou still play tennis, Max?â
âSorry?â
âIf memory serves me, you made it to the state quarterfinals last year.â
âHow did youââ
âOh, I tend to keep tabs on people like yourself who are so ⌠gifted.â
Like a replay of yesteryear, âgiftedâ echoed in Maxâs reeling brain. Again he recalled his night of tests at the Navy hospital and overhearing Captain Diverâs conversation with Dr. Morrow, who first indelibly described him as giftedâa loaded term that ever after struck Max as two parts blessing and one part curse.
Time has a way of flying, as the saying goes, during one's first college semester. There's just so much to wrap one's mind around and integrate all at once: new schedules, new freedoms, new places, new people, new frontiers, new expectations.
Some freshmen (such as Raul), emphasizing social priorities and seeming to forget (if they ever knew) why they attended college in the first place, adopt Mark Twain's infamous philosophy: "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
Other freshmen (such as Max) err in the opposite directionâgradually abandoning any pretense to a social life as they find themselves losing themselves to academia's perfectionistic grind.
I am enjoying this . Thank you. Only 4 chapters in so far. My daughter just had her 1st baby 9 days ago. ( she is very fit and a nurse with a masterâs degree and teaches nursing students at a local college after being a school nurse, ortho/spine hospital nurse and most recently ER nurse). Despite asking repeatedly for a 3rd ultrasound and not given one/their health insurance is good and would have covered itâŚ2 prior ones showed baby breech; not a 3rd one done. She literally hemorrhaged in ER and almost died due to her dr fuckiing it up by not knowing the baby was breech the entire time! She was made to go through almost 24 hours of unnecessary medical interventions including balloons stuck up her cervix, pitocin, and 4 rounds of some labor inducing bs down 4 hours apart then given an injection in spine. Couldnât numb her in OR, code white and thankfully her dr off duty and a competent one on. Total cluster f. General anesthesia, etc. I thought as she was wheeled away to OR it may be my last time seeing her alive. I was so angry when I found out that a simple ultrasound would have avoided all the medical bs and she wouldnât have had to go days past due date and hours of pain and suffering for no reason. I was livid when I found out baby was breech entire time! Ok way too much from me here⌠just a parallel in the story. I should probably delete this so feel free to ignore my comment. I guess I am still upset about this. Sorry to vent here. Few places to.

No worries, Carolyn! So sorry you and your family had to endure all that. Thank your sharing a personal connection point with the story!
Thank you. So kind of you. Itâs been seriously difficult but all good now.
I hear you! Many blessings to you and yours!

I lucid dream often, going to listen to this on a walk later! :) Thanks!
Sweet (waking) dreams then! Enjoy!
