Customer Reviews

great! :)

This book is so awesome, its my favorite book. Once you start reading you cant put it down! I love the time period of the early 1900s so this book was freat for that too. Its very interesting to read about Molly and Jared as they go back to the early 1900s as two different people. Its not one of those mystery books where you just have to wait until the end in order to just get the answer to the mystery. Instead, it is a continual answer being given away from the middle to the end.

Nightmares can't turn real - or can they?

Nightmares can't turn real - or can they? Teen Molly has always been plagued with nightmares of drowning - to the point that she jeopardizes her high school graduation and perfect academic records by refusing to get into the water. When one of the boys in her dreams turns up in the real world and nearly drowns her, Molly flees to her stepmother and father's new home in Maine - only to find the past follows closely behind. Kathryn Reiss has made a name for herself in previous tales of timeslip and supernatural events and Dreadful Sorry represents another powerful contribution to the genre.

Dreadful Sorry

This book is one of my absolute favorites. If I were a producer, I would get this story into a movie without a second thought. The book is about a young girl named Molly who has waterphobia eversince she was little. One day, she met her best friend's cousin, Jared, and when they were a party together, she gets thrown into a pool by HIM. Ever since then, she starts seeing hallucinations while she's awake, other than just the bad dreams she's been having before. Read it, I totally recommend it. It's one of the best stores, I think.
