Trisha Portman almost has it all. With her good looks, a job at a hot SoHo art gallery, devoted friends, and a handsome lawyer boyfriend, she's one step away from making it big. When a mysterious painting shows up at her gallery, Trisha's ticket to the top may have just arrived. Far from leading her there, however, the painting takes her back to her college days and to James Morales, a man whose artistic brilliance is exceeded only by the lengths he'll go to alienate people. As Trisha steps into James's tormented life, she discovers an unlikely soul mate but soon falls prey to a horrible misfortune. Called "Sex and the City with a heart" by Oprah author Jacquelyn Mitchard, Enter Sandman explores the tyranny of the superficial, the power of friendship, and the mystery of what people choose to leave behind.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful story by first author with breast cancer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enter Sandman (Hardcover)
This book was written by a 33-year old with breast cancer. It has a fast-paced, captivating plot. The protagonist's transformation at the end of the book from a young woman to a "terminal cancer patient" is very powerful, with important messages about friendship, sense of self, communication and the universal desire to leave a meaningful legacy. The reader will walk away from the book with a deeper understanding of what it takes for a young woman to come to terms with cancer and dying, while also admiring its author for having the strength to write a great first novel while battling this disease.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth reading!,
This review is from: Enter Sandman (Hardcover)
Okay, so it gets off to a slow start, and the author was not a soaring lyricist. But it really does pick up steam midway through, and it packs a wallop at the end. The two main characters are artfully drawn, and as the plot narrows down to the two of them, the story becomes quite lovely. Add to that the author's personal narrative, in that she was literally racing her own death to publish this novel, and there is quite a lot to recommend 'Enter Sandman'.

Slooooooooooooow start, but gets better!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enter Sandman (Hardcover)
This book opens with basic, choppy language and a rather dull plot. There is little eloquence or poetry in the words, but the author nevertheless gets her point across. Not only does the plot thicken as the book progress, but the author's use of language becomes somewhat more sophisticated as well. This novel isn't destined for any literary awards, but would make good beach or other light reading.
