Customer Reviews

Life sucks and then you die

The entire concept of this book seems to be that horrible things happen in life and then you die. The story pace was glacially slow. To call the characters one-dimensional is a compliment. Irrelevant backstories abound. There are a ton of unnecessary and over-long descriptions. Most disappointingly, the story doesn't have an end. The end of the book could have functioned just as well as the end of a chapter. There is no overarching theme or plot to the book which makes the whole thing feel unnecessary.
