Nothing overly amazing but still better than lots of other crap out there. I've heard folks say it is violent but thinking back on it, I don't remember it being any more violent or sexual than some of his others. While I wouldn't say that this was my favorite Laymon novel nor was it even near the top, it is still an enjoyable read. Dobbs is still trying to revive dead bodies and finally reaches success. And Vicki, the only girl who never picked on him and thus Dobb's biggest crush, is back in town. Dobbs is out of the mental institution, supposedly healed. And he only makes it worse when he uses a car battery to try to bring back a recently killed classmate. Melvin Dobbs is the social outcast of his high school. RESURRECTION DREAMS falls into the last category barely missing the dual focus category. And the finally category is something supernatural happens to someone and has rippling effects upon others. These books you kind of wish were separated into two books instead of combined into one. There's the dual focus books where two incredible coincidences happen to the same person/group for example, while running away from a mummy that is stalking her, our heroine escapes into a warehouse where a serial rapist is capturing and keeping his victims alive in metal cages. There's the normal crazed killer stalks young coeds or teens for reasons that don't always make sense but then it's a crazed killer so it doesn't have to be that logical. Laymon fluctuates with the plot of many of his books.
