Summary: Not his best
Comment: Michael Hurbek is a schizophrenic escapee from a mental hospital, and he's on a mission to find Lis Atcheson, the woman who testified against him in a trial where he was found guilty of a vicious murder. The police, Michael's psychiatrist, a professional dog tracker, and Lis' wiley war vet husband are all trying to stop him, but Michael seems adept at evading them all, leaving behind him a trail of murder and destruction.
Somewhat interesting core storyline, although some of the tangents were a little boring. Seemed like Deaver was trying to make this into a more serious novel without success. Characterization didn't do much for me. Acceptable read, but definitely not his best. I recommend his Rhymes and Sachs Bone Collector series as much better!

Summary: Not one of my favorites
Comment: After having read later works by Mr. Deaver such as The Empty Chair and The Coffin Dancer, I wanted to try some of his earlier books. What I love about Deaver is that he is always pulling some plot twist out of his sleeve you didn't expect. This happens to some degree in Praying for Sleep, but much too little and much too late in the story. The plots seems to take way to long to get to some kind of major confrontation. All in all, I'm not sorry I read this one. I still enjoyed it but not as much as some others. I will be interested in reading more of his earlier stories as well as the newer one's to determine at which point Jeffery Deaver became one of my favorite authors.

Summary: Praying for the end.
Comment: This is not one of Jeffrey Deaver's best works. The book is about a woman named Lis who, a few years back, helped convict Michael, a schizophrenic of murder. Now Michael has escaped from a mental institution and he's trying to get to Lis. The ending was a complete surprise to me and I'd have to say that he had me fooled. But the book is long and drawn out. There are a lot of events that could have been left out, I think. I don't even think I'd recommend this to a Jeffrey Deaver fan. It's just not that good.
