Publisher's Summary:
The driver's focus is on the disappearing center line. Then the sun begins to rise, and it's like nothing he's seen before, he stops to admire it and takes a picture. He's tired, closes his eyes, rests, thinks, and dreams. Time, memories, love, places, people from the past. Who knows and makes the future? Do wishes come true? Where do they come from? Is life a coin toss? Does it happen by choice? Is it random, magic, or an illusion? As the last word rolls off his lips, at this last flutter of time, the driver will choose to be awake, asleep, dreaming or dead.

Intense story that asks important questions about life...
Though not for everyone, this was a very unique, original story about the deeper questions of life, death and everything in between. If you have pondered over metaphysical thoughts and yearn for deeper answers about life, you should read this book. I have and I loved every second of it.
I applaud that the author wrote in his own style, following his own rules, not worrying about accepted structure or rules. Those structures and rules can sometimes dampen a writers creativity and keep their work shackled by restraints. I like adventurous writers who are not afraid to push against those laws and boundaries and Mr. Siwicki does this with superb results.
An interesting story
This was one of the most different books I have read. The story takes place in the past, present and a little of the future too. It was interesting how the story took people of the past and brought them into the present. Some of the chapters were a little repetitive, which was not my favorite part. Overall, it was a different kind of book and I enjoyed it.
Very Thought-provoking
This is both a difficult book to review and an interesting book to review. The reader is taken through several scenarios involving high drama, picturesque landscapes, interesting characters and deep concepts. All the while we're wondering how things will turn out and if what we are reading is indeed reality or an alternate version of it. The ending provides additional food for thought.
The novel is divided into four main sections, each one starting word for word with exactly the same story yet quickly morphing into its own storyline. Each of these sections is divided into short chapters which brings clarity and ease to a complex storyline.
The novel is sufficiently abstract for readers who like to draw their own conclusions yet has enough plot to keep all readers engaged.
Thought provoking and lyrical.
This is a unique (at least in my limited experience) and thought provoking book. Lyrical in the sense that at times it reads like a poem. I was swept away in ways similar to my experiences listening to a symphony. Not just reading a story but experiencing it. You really do not only use one sense at a symphony. Nor in this book. Bravo.
Awake Asleep Dreaming Dead by John Siwicki is a must read.
An amazing story about what everyone experiences. If you like riding a roller coaster you'll love this book; it has all the ups and downs, and accidents of life.
In the beginning I got irritated by the storyline repetition. Then I realized it was necessary to engage in the variety of situations and transitional outcomes.
It made me have an attitude adjustment and not to take things for granted. Loved the book. I bought 8 copies to give as gifts.
