About this listen

The Earth's resources are dwindling. The solution is The Sleep: periods of hibernation imposed on those who remain with only a Janitor to watch over the sleepers. In the sleeping city, elderly Ben struggles with his limited waking time and the disease that is stealing his wife from him. Outside, lonely Janitor Peruzzi craves the family he never knew. Around them both, dissatisfaction is growing. The city is about to wake.

Not my usual choice of book but loved it. Covered every emotion. A must read.

Gripping from the start, didnt want it to end.

I enjoyed this, as I am a fan of sci-fi and a good dystopian story is my sort of thing. However, I can see why this is part of the plus catalogue and not a story a credit is required for.

There are plot holes a plenty and lots of things that just seem unrealistic. You also never get a look at the shadowy organisation behind all the events of the book, and the ending was a little frustrating.

The voice performance was great, easy to understand.

Not bad as far as dystopian future's go, but I'm glad it was a plus title.
