Dreamlnad actually surprised me by being pretty good. It reminds me alot of Breathing Underwater which was also a book about a controlling and abusive realtionship. Except Dreamland was about the victim of the abuse instead of the one being abusive. It helps you undestand what someone goes through and what it does to them emotionally and physically. The girl still loved the guy even after he hurt her. She couldn't see how this awesesome guy could be so mean. Throughout most of the book she talked about how she felt she was underwater, not really there (which again reminds me of Breathing Underwater). In the end though she goes to rehab, after she conseaved a drug problem, and makes her way to the surface.
