This is the first podiobook I have listened to that I would love to read. I am on the road a lot so I listen to a lot of books on CD. I wouldn't hesitate to put Mr. Shepherd's telling of the story, he doesn't just read the story, up against any of the professionals. Thank you for the entertainment.

Emotional stability should be a prerequisite to this book. I found it impossible not to simultaneously be completely engrossed by the masochistic Layla, disgusted by Dr. Harrison's inability to rationally see through her manipulative tendencies, and overwhelmingly touched by his selfless attempt to treat Layla as his own daughter. It's an entirely cruel book, both to it's protagonist and it's reader (listener), and after finishing it, I can't help feel like Mr. Shepard has treated us just as Layla treated Dr. Harrison...and in that light, I'm further disturbed by how much I enjoyed it. Nevertheless, thank you dearly for the journey Mr. Shepard, I sincerely hope your next novel is coming soon. Spectacular! 5-Stars in every category.

No dull spots at all! You get mad at how the guy could be so gullable but then you cry with him and are on the edge of your seat wondering how those last few moments of the story will turn out. This could be a wonderful movie. I hope Mr Sheppard has more stories coming!!! This book was totally awesome. No dull spots at all!

It was so well-written and well-read. I believe this is the best book podiobooks may have to offer. Thank you, Mr. Shepherd, for such enjoyment. I really liked this book.

It seemed that poor guy just got stuck in a downward spiral that descended into oblivion. Nice story, great character development.

I ran your Podiobooks promo on 'One Among the Sleepless' a few weeks back; I would've emailed you to let you know, but your a hard guy to find. Anyway, keep up the good work. All the best Mike Bennett Hi David

No idea why but reminds me a bit of "Lolita" by Nabokov. I guess his writing style or psychoanalysis of human beings, hard to tell really. Would like to know a bit about author. Tried to search net, but couldn't find any info on him ;/ Does anyone know if he has a website? Great book. No idea why but reminds me a bit of “Lolita” by Nabokov.
