The Sleepwalker by Chris BohjalianMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I liked the premise of this book because I've never read a novel about a character who sleepwalks. I don't know anyone who is a sleepwalker so it was compelling to learn about the affliction. The mystery of what could've happened to Annalee was also compelling. The main issue I had was the pace of the book is painfully slow. The first half especially drags on and on. It took me forever to finish because I kept falling asleep reading at night. Once the plot kicked into gear and a twist is revealed, the narrative was much improved. Recommended to fans of character-driven books about family drama.
