Deprivation

De: Roy Freirich

Narrado por: T. Ryder Smith

After a mysterious, silent child is found abandoned on the beach clutching a handheld video game, residents and tourists alike find themselves utterly unable to sleep. Exhaustion impairs judgment, delusions become hysteria, and mob rule explodes into shocking violence. Told from three perspectives: Chief of Police Mays tries to keep order, teenaged tourist Cort and her friends compete in a dangerous social media contest for the most hours awake, while local physician and former Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Sam Carlson battles his guilt over a student's suicide and the blurriness of his own insomnia, to try to treat the sleepless - until he and the child must flee the violent mob that blames the child for the epidemic.

A one star audio book. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I listened to several chapters. I still am not engaged and don’t know what’s going on. Last time I take a face book review. I’m returning it.

Creepy

As someone with insomnia this definitely had me thinking A LOT. It was a good listen and the narrator was perfect. I was definitely creeped out at parts.
