This was clever, frustrating, funny and monotonous. Toltz writes with an insight and depth that can be thought provoking and amusing while still moving the plot along. I was fully onboard with this book for the first half, but around page 213 I found myself becoming more and more frustrated with the afterlife and the lack of progression or answers � which may have been the point, as things kept going off the rails for the characters both alive and dead. I love reading about alternate visions of life after death � and this was a ride, to be sure. I’ll certainly read more from Toltz. This one left me with a bit of a downer though, and a lot of questions � but I’d definitely recommend to readers looking for a quirky life-after-life story that holds a mirror under societies nose.

What the afterlife feels like: "It feels like when a stranger sneezes and you say ‘bless you�, and then the bastard just keeps on sneezing and you’re stuck saying bless you over and over again, and you can’t stop until he stops." (p215)
