false 2599473 1 Matt Zander, under-achieving supermarket clerk, wakes in a downtown Toronto hospital after he was shot during a bungled robbery of his boss' luxurious home. As memory of his near-death experience begins to fade, he furiously scribbles down everything he remembers of his journey to the other side. Struggling with his purpose in life, Matt befriends a quiet young loner named Michael, whose dream is to leave the frozen winter landscape of Canada behind for the sun and glamour of Los Angeles. Together they set out cross-country, unaware the road trip will be the defining moment in both their lives. On the way to L.A., as Michael begins to open up and reveal why he must see the Pacific Ocean with his own eyes, Matt simultaneously starts to realize what he was sent back to do. An often humorous and poignant look at the meaning of life, The Matt Zander Journals is a thought-provoking novel you won't be able to put down until the journey is over... Because in life, the journey is everything. 2622868 20 2 2008 The Matt Zander Journals 0 0 3 0 0 0 false false Mon Jun 01 13:55:53 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 13:56:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 02:22:31 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 10:41:13 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 02:22:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 07 20:41:03 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 18 01:05:44 -0700 2008
