1.0 out of 5 stars The Dream Lover: Short Stories, February 21, 2009

This review is from: The Dream Lover (Paperback)

What a disappointment. Being a really big fan I just look forward to all his new work. I purchased "The Dream Lover" thinking it was a new collection of writing. Yes, I knew that he had written a short story with that same title but I assumed he had reworked it. To open a book and find that I had read all the stories already was a major disappointment. It reeks of either needing money or just keeping his name out there. A very sad statement either way.
