I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be a serious attempt at writing...
This book was free on the Barnes & Noble Nook market place and as a supporter of indie authors I thought I would give it a shot. It is obvious that this is a first attempt at writing. The only other review on Goodreads understates it could use some editing. In my opinion, this person's forte isn't writing. Writing takes time, skill, and creativity and is most certainly not for everyone. While reading Two Lives...One Diary I felt like I was reading the creative writing assignment of a middle school student. It is often confusing and the main character is constantly using phrases that don't make sense. There is a point in the story where a girl gets stabbed with a needle by a homeless guy she is giving food to... While this is strange in itself, the main character suggests she will die if he doesn't remove it and cut off the blood flow. Ok, from a needle? I get that she could get AIDS if the guy was infected and was using it for drugs, but come one, the girl is not going to die from loss of blood due to a needle.
Although I cannot accept this as an actual book/novella, I will say the author came up with an interesting concept. The main character lives two different lives, one in the real world and one in the dream world. I think Array would be more successful at selling ideas for stories rather than writing them.

I liked this book. While the author would benefit from some better editing, I tried to ignore this and focus on the story itself.
The premise of the story was unique and original. I liked the future (or was it the present?) world that the author created. The story was a little rushed in places and I felt the Mr. Array could have easily taken his idea and developed it into a full-length novel versus a novella. Sometimes the characters seemed a little shallow, but I thought they were okay for the most part. I really liked the message that this novella sends to its readers; it was very good.
Overall this was a good first effort by this young author.
