1-31-12 The Between by Tananarive Due - Fiction

3 - I just never was completely hooked on this book. The premise is really good, just how many times can a person escape death, but I couldn't warm up to the characters. The main character, Hilton, just seemed so indecisive and wishy-washy even as the tension of the story ratcheted up. But, like I said, the basic story was good. Hilton's grandmother died saving him from drowning when he was a young boy. Now he's haunted by dreams and believes he's having waking dreams as well. He remembers things others say never happened. He becomes more frantic as the stalker who has been threatening his wife and family seems to be circling ever closer. If you aren't sure what to read & you happen across this, pick it up as a nice space filler.
