Gone (Dream Catcher #3)
by
Lisa McMann (Goodreads Author)
Janie thought she knew what her future held. And she thought she’d made her peace with it. But she can’t handle dragging Cabel down with her. She knows he will stay with her, despite what she sees in his dreams. He’s amazing. And she’s a train wreck. Janie sees only one way to give him the life he deserves—she has to disappear. And it’s going to kill them both.

I loved it! I won't say more and post any spoilers other than I think Lisa did a great job with they way the series finished off. And no, that's not giving anything away. All I can say is that those who loved Wake and Fade need to pre-order it now.
GONE is about Janie's journey into figuring out more of who she is as a dream catcher and finding more out about herself. She'll learn about how she got her abilities as she finds out more about the man who's dreams she keeps getting sucked into, as...more

Didn't want to believe negative reviews, but alas, the book IS actually bad.
My opinion doesn't have anything to do with the ending, even though so many are upset about it, but rather with the fact that the novel is just simply badly written. Who would have thought that McMann, a master of succinct and intense writing, can cook up a book which, with its 214 pages, seems so overlong, pointless and emotionless? Who would have thought I'd have to skim over some pages to be finally done with it?

In the final installment of Lisa McMann's DREAM CATCHER trilogy, Janie finds herself in a dilemma a little closer to home.
Janie receives a phone call that her mother is in the hospital. Once there, she discovers it is not her mother that needs help, but a mysterious man in a coma who seems to be calling to her from his dreams.

Great ending to a terrific series.
This final story about Janie, the dreamcatcher, and Cabel, the boy who loves her, doesn't disappoint. This one doesn't have the crime plotline of the first two books, but instead deals with the mystery of Janie's past and future. Her choices are even more devastating than she thought they were and she perpares to make heartbreaking choices.

This book is super short - a bit over 200 pages - and there is just not that much that actually happens. A lot of characterization but not much plot. What IS there is good, but I felt like it could have been so much better.
The storyline of Janie finding her father felt more like a subplot than the complete plot. I think the book would have been 5 stars if, like in the first two books, there had been a mystery or crime to solve, with this plot about her family and her future woven into it. If th...more

Kind of dissapointed in this one. After such a long wait, and a real appreciation for the first two, I expected more. I love the writing style and the characters in this series, but this book did not really advance the overall plot and both Janie and Cabel are not very likable here. They seem to have taken steps back instead of forward, which I understand is part of life sometimes, but it seems a strange choice for the conclusion to a series.

GONE is about Janie and her journey to figuring out where her abilities came from. She has the worst dreams of all in this book and has to learn how to deal with them and help the one person who needs her help the most.
There were times were I was frustrated at Janie. The choices she made I couldn't understand. They weren't very logical to me but still and found myself wanting to smack her sometimes!
Cabel...ahhh Cabe! What is not to love about Cabe?? He is even more awesome and sweet in GONE. He...more

This is definately my favorite in the series. With every book I felt that hole of despair building in my chest, only to never actually break. While each book was a good fast read, it just never seemed to take that leap that I needed.
The tears just never quite made it.
And then......Yep yep thats right I CRIED!!! I finally broke, and I welcomed every tear.
This book just seemed to go a little deeper. While the first two stayed relitively close to the surface, this one dived straight down. The emo...more

U závěrečného dílu snové trilogie si pro nás autorka přichystala jedno zajímavé a poměrně zásadní překvapení. Čtenáři si její sérii oblíbili právě díky netradičnímu stylu vyprávění a notné dávky syrovosti až krutosti. Svým hrdinům nedává nic zadarmo a ukazuje tak, že život není jenom procházka růžovou zahradou. Všichni máme problémy, ale každý z nás je řeší jinak.

I'm finding it to be more and more common for YA series to end poorly. It seems like Lisa McMann, like a few other authors, got sloppy by the third book and stopped trying, because she knew that anyone who loved the first 2 books, would automatically want to read this one! Well, don't waste your time! I suggest reading some of the spoiler reviews instead.

Truly it should be rated lower, but I like the characters too much to downgrade it.
Really disappointing! Very predictable! I feel like the writer doesn't like to write. This book could have been so much better had she expanded on some...no I take that back...all of the details. For example, she finds letters written to her mother and it doesn't mention what is said. Another example is that there is a reunion between two characters and the author writes that they talked all night, but doesn't te...more

Bottom Line – If you can almost, forget that you read Wake and Fade – and go into reading this book like it's a stand alone, with the same characters – like a companion book might be – I think you will like Gone, if you can't – it's tough to get around the differences. (Though you will need to read Wake and Fade before picking up Gone, there's not much back story in Gone, and I think you would be lost.) I for one, was able to almost forget about Wake and Fade, since it had been so long since I r...more

First off, the pictures I've shown above are the same as the covers of the copies I own, they changed them and personally I think the guy on the cover of Fade looks a little creepy, so, I rather use these. I did decide to include both of the overviews....only because now I can talk about her father.

Gone was definitely my least favorite in the series, for a few reasons. I really enjoyed the premise and as I said in the review for the first book I really love seeing another interpretation of dreams.
But.
There's no story. Literally. Janie finds out in a big twist ending that the decision she thought she had is actually worse. But it's so obvious! I mean, I figured out what the big secret was immediately when her father was introduced to the story. It wasn't anything that revolutionary to find...more

¡Hola a todos!!
Como pueden ver Huye es el tercer y último libro de la trilogía ‘Cazadora de Sueños’, según mi opinión Lisa Mcmann tiene un estilo muy similar a Holly Black en las trilogía ‘El Tributo de la Corte Oscura y Gata Blanca’ donde se mezclan las realidades mas ‘sórdidas’ y difíciles con la fantasía y lo paranormal, en otras palabras sus protagonistas son adolescentes con realidades difíciles, las que pueden involucrar problemas económicos, maltratos físicos, adicciones, delincuencia, et...more

The book “Gone” by Lisa McMann was suggested to me by a friend. I truly hated this book very much. It started out very slowly describing the main character, Janie, and her boyfriend, Cabel’s “vacation.” They ended up having to return early after a call from Janie’s neighbor that said her drunken mother was creating chaos and was demanding to be taken to the hospital. When she got to the hospital she found out that her dad that she had never met was dying from a terrible brain tumor. She began th...more
This final chapter in the Wake trilogy doesn’t have the same kind of excitement from the first two. Here the conflict is solely within Janie herself and what options she has for her future. Her past comes colliding with her present and she’s forced to face her mother, Cabel, and everyone else in her life, and make the decision that will mean everything.
It was a nice change of pace to read strictly about Janie and her life around her ability. There’s no case she and Cabel are working on, and we r...more

Have you ever wanted to get to know someone, I mean really know them? Going into their dreams is what I am getting at, to know what they think about. Going into dreams can be very surprising to what you will see, and do you ever seem to think about the consequences. Sometimes you may want to go into people’s dreams, despite what you think the harm could be, but after reading this book, you might want to reconsider.

Z knihy mám pořád smíšené pocity. Autorčin styl psaní se mi líbí a čte se to dobře, ale ten konec. Nedopadlo to zrovna tak jak jsem doufala...
Janie se pořád propadá lidem do snů a občas ne zrovna těch nejmilejších. Cabel je pořád při ní. Snaží se ji pomáhat a chránit. Jenže to právě Janie nechce. Její matka je pořád alkoholička a hrozný zabedněnec. Svého otce do nedávné doby neznala. Ale zázraky se stávají. Zjistila po kom má ten dar nebo prokletí? Záleží na tom jak to kdo pochopí.

I thought the book Gone was a good book. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. It was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I read this book over my weekend because I liked it so much, it isn't a very long book at all I think it's a reasonable amount of pages so I don't think this book is too long for anyone. It has a very interesting plot she is writing about. It's about this 18 year old girl named Janie and she's a dream catcher. She can walk into a room and if someone is dreaming she falls in...more
Okay this book was just WOW it was not what i suspected for the last book in the series. The book really progressed a lot...but it just became even more interesting. The love between Cabel and Janie really progressed even after Janie told Cabel what was going to happen to her. He stayed with her it was so nice,even though he kept dreaming those creepy dreams he stayed with Janie.

I didn't care much for it. This being the third book of a story I was really liking I was rather disappointed with it. I gave it a lower rating than the first two due to several facts. It just felt boring. Over and over the heroine fell into one man's dream and was rather repetitive. Also she started fighting with really the only one who understands or helps her. All due to the fact she doesn't accept her fate and wants to change it. In this last book it talks mainly about how her powers came to...more
