Dream Child, Mar 5 2006
By B. Singer "Korn_Army" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Nightmare on Elm Street #4: Perchance to Dream (Mass Market Paperback)
Since reading Protege, which I thought was the best Nightmare novel yet, I had high expectations for this one. I absolutely love this novel. It is well written and has a nice slow pace so you won't get lost or bored.
If this was made into a movie it would go great between Nightmare 5 and Freddy's Dead. The story has to deal with Jacob (from the Nightmare 5 - The Dream Child movie) and what happened to him years after the events of the Dream Child. I don't want to give away any spoilers but it does mention his mother (Alice) and father (Dan).
This book has some surprising twists added to it making it a more interesting read.

Perchance to a Mild Dream, April 10 2006
By Jennifer C. Syas "Dave Syas" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Nightmare on Elm Street #4: Perchance to Dream (Mass Market Paperback)
Natasha Rhodes creates some interesting characters, and has a flair for the Kreuger character (which has been missing in a few books from this series).
While she writes an excellent book, this novel (like it's predecessor Protege) tries too hard to reinvent the series.
Nightmare on Elm Street is Nightmare on Elm Street is Nightmare on Elm Street. That fact seems to be lost on some of the Authors in this series. I do respect the obvious effort Rhodes puts into this book, it's overall feeling was far from the NoES story.
My major issue may come from Kane. A character who could have shown quite a bit of potential, only to end up at a very predicatable ending.
FK deserves more than this book or Protege was willing to give, and hopefully, the line returns to the root of the NoES Dream. Run your sidestories, have your interesting plots, the fact is, Kreuger is a one trick pony.... and some of us still enjoy that trick!

Finally a good "Nightmare" book besides the first one!, Sep 27 2006
By Nathan E. Gay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Nightmare on Elm Street #4: Perchance to Dream (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I think Natasha Rhodes knew the material and at least gave a dman about the characters she was writing about. i really liked that they brought some of the characters in from the movie series (Nightmare 4 and 5 respectively). There were a few starts and stops and some small editing errors, but all in all and enjoyable book. I was glad that the series got its darkness back, because I wasn't impressed with "Dreamspawn" which took the book to California (?!?!) and Protege was interesting but the books still lacked what makes "A Nightmare on Elm Street" interesting. I recommend "Perchance..." to any Freddy fan!
Listmania!
