Wow, so intense! This book just keeps getting better and better. From chapters four to ten Michael has decided to go to Sara Laughs, the old house by the lake, to see if he can better figure out the dreams he's having. To his surprise (and yet not quite a shock to him), all the pieces of his dream seem to be occuring in real life. A big part of this section was his meeting with a four-year-old girl and her 19 or 20 year old mother. He immediately falls in love with the little girl, Kyra, who calls herself "Kia." This is the name he and his wife were going to name their child if they ever had a little girl. The mother, Mattie, just so happens to be a fan of his books.
Mike has been hearing and feeling strange things in his house, such as a child crying and breezes surrounding his face. He leaves out a tape recorder in the middle of the night to see if he is just imagining these noises, but when he wakes up, he plays the tape and he can hear his dead wife's voice sadly saying, "Oh, Mike."
I am really glad I decided to read this book because for the past couple years I've kind of been bored with reading. I've been so used to having to read the books for school that I haven't actually wanted to read a book in my free time. However, this book is definitely one of those books that leaves you on edge, wanting to read more. Everything is somehow tying to something else in the book, and while its kind of confusing, its nonetheless enticing.
Although this is a story that could never happen in real life, it still leaves me wondering...
