Posted March 11th, 2010 by Joshua Chaplinsky

Narcoleptic dream warrior Mark Genevich is back, and he don't wanna dream no more.

'No Sleep Till Wonderland' by Paul Tremblay

Mark Genevich is a PI with a past. A past chronicled in a previous book, which I have not read.  Entering his world for the first time, I wondered- would it be a smooth transition? Or would I be left disoriented and confused, like our protagonist after a hypnagogic episode? Despite a nice recap of past exploits for the newcomers, allusions to Mark's personal history are vague. Almost as if an important piece of information were missing. Fortunately, as the mystery unfurls- the mystery of who Mark is, not just the machinations of the plot- all pertinent questions are answered.
