Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

For fans of the oral history genre phenomenon World War Z, a worldwide plague of insomnia creates a devastating new apocalypse. Sleep Over is collection of waking nightmares, a scrapbook of the haunting and poignant stories from those trapped in a world where the pillars of society are crumbling, and madness is slowly descending on a planet without rest.

Great Story
Revisado: 09-19-18
This is a wonderful addition to the Apocalypse oral history genre. I enjoyed the different perspectives from people of all walks of life. The only thing I wished was that we got more character interaction. Each sub-story is a one off so you don't get attached be to any characters, but it is still very well written. A slight addition of more post sleep over rebuilding would have been nice. (Hoping for a sequel!) Overall a fantastic book that I will keep with me for a long time. Oh, and sleep well tonight

This panoramic fictional oral history begins with one small mystery: the body of a young woman found in an Arizona border town, presumed to be an illegal immigrant, disappears from the town morgue. Soon, the US government - and eventually biomedical researchers, disgruntled lawmakers, and even an insurgent faction of the Catholic Church - must come to terms with what they're too late to stop: an epidemic of vampirism that will sweep first the United States, and then the world. With heightened strength and beauty and a steady diet of fresh blood, these changed people, or "Gloamings", rapidly rise to prominence in all aspects of modern society.

pros
So I have to say I was excited for this book. I love the oral history as World War Z is one of my favorites. This story had a great premise, relatable, interesting characters and insight into parts of society not immediately obvious such as the details with the church.
cons
The story is at times dry as a subplot will go on without much detail. The whole story of Dr. Scott is rather mundane after the first several incidents. Also, I felt it was unclear exactly what was going on in the churches organization. It seemed to shift abruptly without much insight. There is a lot of this in other side stories as well. The book also abruptly ends with no resolution of any kind, leaving the reader confused and possibly expecting a sequel? Yet there is no cliff hanger or any indication of story continuation other than the fact plot threats are left unresolved.
Overall I found it an average read, it has a great premise but was less than expected and doesn't even hold a candle to WWZ or Robopocalypse.

The story is very long and can drag on points. The narrator is fantastic and allows you to differentiate characters well. Would recommend if you enjoy intense character development, but not necessarily if you're looking for constant entertainment
