Book Review: Eyes of Sleeping Children
Eyes of Sleeping Children by D. A. Butcher is nonstop intensity. This story revolves around the Sandman and how he affects a father and husband Louis Lockhart.
The setting and the story are refreshing and kept me guessing. I didn’t expect any of the twists at the end, and each and every one fit perfectly within the universe.
Funny thing, I read this book in one sitting, but that’s what happens when you mix the year 2020 with an awesome book. I was able to fall into this world, forget where I was, and become one with this world.
Butcher has a wonderful grasp of the English language. One secret for having me fall in love with a book, one which I could read over and over again, is one not only with a powerful story and strong writing but also awesome one-liners.
Here are some of my favorites:
If we all saw the world through the eyes of a child, we would learn to be better people.”
Everyone’s complexions are pale from lack of sun, the atmosphere sucking all the goodness from us and leaving us to dry up like petrified wood.
If you’re going to read anything this year, read this book, then read more of what Butcher has to offer.
