An incredibly interesting plot, enticing characters, and definitely a hard sci-fi book for lovers of the genre. Watters' attention to detail and the ability to write with such fascinating ease to the genre made for a really enjoyable read. The addition of a futuristic dream technology made it feel very much like a less harrowing episode of Black Mirror. There was something about this book that felt very abstract and ephemeral (much like a dream itself) and I really think it worked. It was endles

Upon beginning ‘Dream Phaze’ I was taken by the entire concept of Dream Immersion. I have never read on the subject before and found that aspect engrossing. One of the best bits about this book was that it made me think, it made me consider things I hadn’t before.
There were parts of the narrative that I found lacking, which was extremely disappointing. The use of technical language was overwhelming, and I had to flick to the glossary numerous times which hampered my enjoyment of the novel.

Interesting characters with an intriguing plot. It's a short novel but the idea behind it has made me think and that's why I gave it four stars.
There have been many novels that use dreams as a plot device. They use them to transport the story somewhere else, then exit the story for the reader to realize it was all a dream. Wizard of Oz comes to mind.
Dream Phaze explores engineered dreams as an ongoing source of entertainment and I think that is a fascinating idea. ...more
