Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Injoyable
Review: I read many of the reviews and comments of others who had read the book and almost did not read the book for myself. There were so many unfavorable ratings. I throughly enjoyed reading the book. The story begins in Heaven. Sterling Brooks has been waiting 40 years in holding waiting to get into Heaven. He sees so many others pass by him and go on into Heaven but not him. The Heavenly Council decides to send Sterling back to earth to prove himself worthy of entry into Heaven. The rest of the story is about the events that unfold as he helps more than one person with a really big problem. He finds out about the joy of making another person happy and not always striving to please oneself.

The book reminded me of the movies and TV shows we have seen;for example, "Ghost" with Patrick S.,"Highway to Heaven" with Michael L. and "Touched By An Angle". It's fun to relax and go into a fanasy and think of what it would be like if this could really happen. Who knows, maybe it does.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Two of my favorite writers!
Review: "He Sees You When You're Sleeping" was a joy to read. A little far-fetched but none-the-less an entertaining read. A book that is fun to read all year long not just during the holiday season.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: He Sees You When You're Sleeping
Review: This book is childish and does not merit having Mary Higgins Clark's name on it. It's NOT her style, but that of her daughter's . . . Carol Higgins Clark, who has written several VERY boring books. It's very apparent that mother is trying to boost daughter's ratings with the merits of her own wonderful works. Buy it used if you feel you have to read it, but you'll be ticked at yourself for paying full price! Inheritance is wonderful, but Carol obviously doesn't have it in her genes to follow her mother's writing. She should pray for a cash settlement and give up the writing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not her best work!
Review: I have read most of Mary Higgins Clark books and have always enjoyed them. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to her reputation. I found the book to be very predictable and didn't feel her characters had a lot of depth to them. I was very disappointed. I think she should really stick to what she knows and does best and that's writing mysteries.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just an average story by a couple of great writers
Review: He Sees You When You're Sleeping by Mary Higgins Clark and Mary Higgins Clark in my opinion was just an average story by a couple of great writers.

The thought of angels returning to earth to set things right for some in itself was a chilling thought to me contrary to what a lot of people may believe in in this realm. I certainly do not. That part of the story did not set well with me.

But even so there were things in this story that I did enjoy. I believe the over-all plot or intended message of the story or the outcome of such is simply that of "redemption".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heartwarming!
Review: I am a great fan of Mary Higgins Clark and have collected all of her books. I read them for the entertainment they give me and found this book to be very heartwarming and cozy with a little suspense and danger thrown in. It was interesting to see how Sterling's character grew during his efforts to help Marissa. I heartily recommend this book to anyone looking for a light read with little violence and no profanity.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Check out another Clark
Review: Hey, have any of you fellow Mary Higgins Clark fans read Mary JANE Clark? I actually think she's better. My heart's never raced fast than when I was reading LET ME WHISPER IN YOUR EAR (her most recent I think). Check her out -- for the fastest page-turning of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A story both my wife and I enjoyed together!
Review: He Sees You When You Are Sleeping is an entertaining, heartfelt and moving story about perseverance, redemption an most importantly, love!

A story everyone will enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not As Good As I Expected
Review: While Sterling Brooks was on Earth he was self-absorbed. He cared about nothing but himself, and kept people hanging. Such as Annie, the woman he proposed to, but never married. Now up in Heaven he's paying for it. He's been in the Celestial Waiting Room for over 40 years, and has still yet to redeem himself. Until the Heavenly Council tell him to make good for the holidays with someone on Earth.

For Sterling, it's Marissa. A little girl who's father and grandmother were put into the Witness Protection program due to overhearing a conversation between mobsters. A threat actually. Since then, Marissa has lost all her Christmas spirit, and is always unhappy. It's now up to Sterling to reunite Marissa with her father and grandmother before she gives up hope altogether.

While this was a well written book, I found it choppy and not at the Higgins' best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a really good story
Review: When I saw that Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark wrote another book together I put it on my Christmas wish list in hopes to get it from family. I enjoyed reading this book a lot more that the first book that they wrote together. I thought that the storyline about Sterling wanting to get into heaven so bad and had to help grant a little girl her christmas wish to be reunited with her father and grandfather to get in was pretty cool.
