If I ever get chronic insomnia I know exactly what to "read" to cure me of it. I guess that makes this book kinda meta, huh. Too bad it was pointless drivel. And I thought The Haunting of Hill House was the most somnolent book I've ever read, but this one beats it by a long shot. A book I definitely should've dnf.
