Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Der längste Schlaf - Melanie Raabe

Mit dem Schlaf kennt sich Mara Lux auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene gut aus. Doch ironischerweise leidet ausgerechnet die Forscherin unter Insomnia. Die Nachricht eines Notars lässt die Wahl-Londonerin nach Deutschland reisen. Dort macht Mara erstaunliche Entdeckungen…

 

„Der längste Schlaf“ ist ein Roman von Melanie Raabe.

 

Die Struktur des Romans ist klar: Es gibt 18 Kapitel, die mehrfach von träumerischen Einschüben getrennt werden. Erzählt wird im Präsens in der Ich-Perspektive aus der Sicht von Mara. Die Handlung spielt in Deutschland und England.

 

In sprachlicher Hinsicht ist der Roman unauffällig und schnörkellos. Dialoge wechseln sich ab mit anschaulichen Beschreibungen.

 

Mara steht im Mittelpunkt der Geschichte. Eine interessante Protagonistin, deren Gedanken sich leicht nachvollziehen lassen.

 

Vor allem die Themen Träume und Schlafforschung machen den Roman zu einer reizvollen Lektüre. Die wissenschaftlichen Ausführungen sind lehrreich, ohne zu langweilen.

 

Die Fragen nach dem Grund von Maras Schlaflosigkeit, ihrer Vergangenheit und den Erlebnissen innerhalb ihrer Träume erzeugen Spannung und einen großen Unterhaltungswert. Auf den rund 340 Seiten entwickelt die Geschichte einen Lesesog. Der Roman kann zudem immer wieder überraschen.

 

Das ungewöhnliche, künstlerisch anmutende Cover passt sehr gut zum Inhalt. Dies gilt auch für den mehrdeutigen Titel.

 

Mein Fazit:
Auch mit „Der längste Schlaf“ hat mich Melanie Raabe überzeugt. Die fesselnde, kurzweilige Geschichte ist absolut lesenswert.

Text and Confused: It's hate at first sight... by Whitney Dineen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A wonderful message hidden inside a delightful story. Text and Confused uses irony to make a serious point. Dineen and Summers tickle the funny bone while delivering sage advice. Toni has more than a little to learn when it comes to matters of the heart and the perfect person to teach her could be a battered but beautiful surprise. A can't put down heartbreaker with a sweet twist.

A bountiful story of love, life and humor that speaks in the language of the heart. Harvest of Love is proof that less is more. Danica and Noah take the soul on a quest of self-discovery, new beginnings and happily ever afters.

Vested Interest Box Set: Books 4-7 by Melanie Moreland

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If ever there was a heartache waiting to be found, Moreland proves without a shadow of a doubt, she knows just where to look. Moreland will leave your heart spent, but empowered by the unpredictable, beauty of love.


Reid - Misjudged, misrepresented, misunderstood. Reid is a new beginning for a broken heart. I loved Aiden, Bentley and Maddox but I fell in love with Reid.


Van - Moreland has crafted a puzzle that seems totally put together, but looks can be deceiving. Hidden in the fine print, the clues are almost blinding. Emotion is the star of the show.

Halton - What happens when a man known for using his head finally listens to his heart?  Two cynical hearts are about to discover there is no logic, when it comes to falling in love. The heart is the deciding factor and we're all just along for the ride.

Sandy - Sandy forces the heart to stop and take notice. It's raw, inspiring and haunting.
