Awakened

By: Laura Elliott

Narrated by: Antonia Beamish

Science has stolen sleep and awakened a world of horror.

“I’ve been an insomniac all of my life, but I’m not Sleepless and I won’t become Sleepless, just as long as the chips that were put into their heads never get put into mine. There’s little chance of that, since I won’t put the machinery into my brain and neither will Edgar and neither will the Professor, and we’re the only three left who could. I don’t want to be Sleepless…”

Civilisation has ended. In a bid to make us more productive, to give us more time, science took sleep from humanity. But sleeplessness turned people into feral monsters, and now a small group of scientists are trapped in the Tower of London, consumed by guilt at what they have done and desperately searching for a cure.

And then one day, as the last ravens circle, two miraculous survivors walk into the Tower.

Are they the answer, or a terrible question?

Worse then expected

The storyline was week and went nowhere. The performance was overly dramatic and took away from the already bad story.

Not Horror

it was more social commentary than anything else. kind of boring, no horror or thrills for me.

Sounds like you've got water in your ear

I pre-ordered this book and was excited when it was released, but couldn't get through it. The audio quality ruined the experience for me, it has a weird muted echo quality, like I just got out of a pool and have water in my ears.
