    This book is awesome. It just is. This novel tells the story of George Orr a man who can alter the world from his dreams. Seeking to be cured of this he seeks the help of a Dr. Haber who uses George's abilities to play god. Chaos ensues. This story is brilliant, prophetic, and captivating. It mixes dream theory with aliens and fantasy. Go read it. NOW!
