My So-Called Afterlife (Afterlife, #1)

Oct 02, 2012 Amelia rated it 1 of 5 stars

Oh dear lord this book was bad.
If you want character development, an interesting plot or something that doesn't kill off your brain cells one by one - then My so called afterlife is not for you.
The story's only redeeming quality would have to be it's humour although this is really overdone. The main character, Lucy, was annoying from the start, and you get to learn next to nothing about the rest of the cast. Some may call this a murder mystery - oh no it's not intelligent enough for that, in fac...more

Original review at http://inkscratchers.blogspot.com/

My So Called Afterlife is one of those books that I would have totally loved if I'd been a few years younger, or hadn't been reading so many deep, involved young adult supernatural books but because I'd just finished a long, dark book this one seemed a little shallow to me.

That's not to say that I didn't thoroughly enjoy the read - it was fun and sweet and while it isn't really on-the-edge-of-your-seat reading, it is also quite short and that...more

I was really, really eager to read this book and I eventually found it. It did not disappoint! I loved it. It is not a dark novel, it is a mixture of different genres drawn into one. Romance, humour, and thrilling events.

Lucy Shaw is a fifteen year-old girl murdered six months ago. I loved Lucy, she was probably my favourite charcter. I loved her sarcasm and some parts really make you lol! The afterlife is very similar to reallife, even ghost mobile phones. When you turn into a ghost, your home...more

So when a lighting engineer called Jeremy walks in and she realises he can see and hear her, she isn't about to let him walk out of her afterlife. Not least until he's updated her on what's happening in her beloved soaps. With Jeremy's help, Lucy escapes the toilet and is soon meeting up with other ghosts, including the perpetually enraged Hep and the snogtastic Ryan. But when Jeremy suggests Lucy track down the man who murdered her, things go down hill. Can Lucy face up to the events of that terrible night? And what will it cost her if she does?
A wonderful debut novel which, as well as being laugh-out-loud funny, is full of insights, compassion, and love. From Amazon UK

When this book arrived, I was really looking forward to reading. A paranormal with a protagonist who had a sense of humour; what could be better? When I read a few reviews that sang My So-Called Afterlife’s praises, I decided it would be the next book I would read, and was excited to get to it. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out to be what I had expected.

The positives first. My So-Called Afterlife is a really sweet story, where issues of death, murder, and, on a small scale, bullying are dealt with. It has its light moments, with Lucy’s sarcastic sense of humour and her continual digs at Jeremy, and the romance between Lucy and Ryan, but it also has darker moments with Jeremy trying to find out who murdered Lucy. I did like the world building for the ghosts; how they could leave the places they haunted, how they were able to move things, how you could still text in the afterlife, and how a ghost could pass on. It was pretty neat!

Ryan is such a sweet guy, and my favourite scene in the book is when he sings Unintended by Muse at a party. It’s just the cutest scene ever, and even made me look the song up and give it a listen – not bad! Jeremy is a little bit of a weed, not the most charismatic or interesting guy going, but his heart is in the right place, and really wants to help Lucy. Lucy herself, as I said, is pretty funny, and does come out with some brilliant one-liners at times. I felt really sorry for Hep, but I wasn’t a big fan.

However, I did think there could be more. It had so much potential, but there were parts I found a little disappointing. I think this book is aimed more for the younger YA audience than the older, and that’s why there wasn’t more. The story just didn’t seem all that believable to me. For any type of fantasy, you have to just go with it, and accept any of the fantasy elements, and that I don’t have trouble with. It’s the actual realistic elements I had trouble with. I would have liked there to have been more tension between Ryan and Lucy before they got together, or more moments of them alone together. Jeremy, who is 27, didn’t question his sanity enough for me, and I didn’t understand why he spent most of his free time trying to help Lucy and hanging out with ghosts; what happened to his own life? I think there could have been more to Hep’s storyline too, I understood the reason for everything to do with her, but the situation she was in is such a big deal, and I felt it seemed a little underplayed. I would say the same of Lucy’s murder. It seems to me that some of this is to make it less scary, or so it’s not too much, for those younger readers it’s aimed for.

None of this makes it a bad story, it wasn’t. I’m sure there are a lot of people who would really enjoy My So-Called Afterlife, and that’s shown through the number of positive reviews out there. It just seems that I’m not a fan of the younger end of the YA spectrum. However, My So-Called Afterlife is a sweet story, and does ask some interesting questions on what happens after death, and it’s a great book for younger readers! Be sure to check out other reviews before making a decision on this book. It wasn't my cup of tea, but it might be yours. My So-Called Haunting, a companion novel, following new characters, will be Tamsyn Murray’s second novel, so look out for it.

Mi chica fantasma es exactamente lo que se espera de ella: divertida, entretenida y deja un buen sabor de boca. Es también una historia de amistad y de amor, pero, en mi opinión, falta una parte importante en la novela, y es la familia de Lucy.
Lucy no esperaba que hubiera nadie capaz de verla, pero cuando Jeremy aparece en el lugar en el que malgasta el tiempo y dice verla, un mundo de posibilidades se abre ante ella, pero también llega a una encrucijada difícil de resolver ya que conocer a Hep y sobre todo a Ryan, cambiará su percepción fantasmal y quizás prefiera seguir siendo fantasma y dejar su asesinato sin resolver para quedarse con ellos. A todo, tenemos que añadir la presencia de Elvira, una extraña mujer capaz de oír fantasmas que hará todo lo posible por "capturar" a Lucy para su programa de televisión.
Montones de cosas le sucederán a Lucy en su vida fantasmal y no faltan los momentos emotivos y divertidos, pero como ya he dicho, hay un aspecto, que si bien se trata en la historia de Hep, no se toca en cuanto a Lucy, y es como su familia lleva la pérdida y su obvia necesidad de encontrar la paz y resolver el crimen que sufrió su hija. Me resulta un poco inverosímil que, sencillamente, decidan mudarse y abandonar la ciudad por los recuerdos y se olviden de que se haga justicia, escapa a mi comprensión. La historia de Ryan y Lucy peca de ser amor instantáneo, pero es una historia bonita y tiene una buena razón de ser.
Lucy es divertida y sarcástica, a pesar del horrible crimen que sufrió, lo lleva muy bien y, puesto que ya no puede hacer nada, no se angustia por ello, aunque sí por no poder salir de ese cuchitril en el que la asesinaron, pero gracias a Jeremy, que es un sosainas pero muy majo y cuida de Lucy como nadie, su mundo se ampliará. Jeremy es leal y en cuanto conoce a Lucy su objetivo es ayudarla a pasar al otro lado, aunque no tiene ni idea de cómo hacerlo, no parará hasta descubrir cómo ayudarla. Por otro lado, Lucy conoce a Hep, una joven emo que se suicidó y a Ryan, quienes se convertirán en sus amigos en su otra vida.
Los personajes antagonistas, Kimberly y Elvira, están algo estereotipados, pero aportan justo lo que la historia necesita. En cualquier caso, siento que me habría gustado conocer mejor a todos los personajes y sus historias.
Murray tiene un estilo fresco y ha conseguido crear una novela ligera y divertida, con personajes divertidos y diferentes y una trama que es más compleja de lo que parece a priori. El ritmo es ágil y facilita la lectura, haciendo que el libro incluso sepa a poco.
Lectura ideal para una tarde que se quiera pasar un buen rato, Mi chica fantasma es una novela algo diferente que tiene mucho que ofrecer. A su favor decir también que, aunque la autora ha escrito otras novelas en el mismo universo, Mi chica fantasma es una historia autoconclusiva que deja al lector satisfecho y con ganas de probar algo más de la autora.(less)

My So-Called Afterlife is a great debut novel, with lots of humour, gorgeous ghosts and a murder mystery to keep you guessing. It has one of the funniest opening lines I've encountered, and more than its fair share of quippy, fast-talking dead people.

Lucy's stint in the men's toilets where she was murdered is hilarious, and I don't want to think of the sights she must have seen there. Luckily she does manage to leave that hellish place, and embarks on a journey through the streets of London. I w...more

When Tamsyn Murray came to speak at my school, I wasn't sure what to expect of her or the afterlife series as I'd never heard of either before, but both are very interesting.

Tamsyn Murray’s My So-Called Afterlife is a sharp, funny and moving debut that kept me smiling throughout.

Our heroine, Lucy Shaw, is one hell of a girl. Even after being brutally murdered and being entrapped in the men’s public toilets on Carnaby Street for six moths, she still retained her spirit. Lucy is sparky, sarcastic and brilliantly funny in her observations and one-liners. Though I’d love to be her friend, I don’t think I’d want to be haunted by her. She talks too much!

But my enthusiasm and hopes for the book left me not much longer after I began reading it. Lucy is the most annoying character that I have ever read.

The book was funny troughout and exciting towards the end, but it lacked some depth to my taste. Especially in the love department: girl meets boy and wham they're in love. I like the Bella-Edward Cullen kind of romance better: where they long to be together but can't, and meet lots of obstacles before they can finally be a couple. Now, if the ghost had fallen in love with a human boy, that would have been something.

Jeremy then says that she needs to track down her killer, something Lucy isn’t particularly keen on. However she does, which is the basis of the book.
The plot was original and funny. out of all the YA books out there, theres not too many that focus on ghosts. I liked the little subplots going on underneath Lucy’s adventure, such as getting Hep’s unfinished business finished, and the exorcism TV show. The romance wasn’t particularly bad or good, just being an average part of the book that I don’t think added or took anything away from the story.
I liked the characters and their strong distinctive personalities. I never got mixed up with the characters, which is good, and each was well built and easy to imagine.
I like the voice that was kept up throughout the book. It made Lucy easy to connect with and a little more real. The friendly narrative was easy to keep up with, explaining everything thats going on, and kept going at a pace fast enough for me to enjoy it.
There didn’t seem to be much that really stood out for me. It was funny, light and a really easy read, but there was nothing that seemed to make it extremely amazing. The fact I read this a couple of days ago (weeks by the time this goes on the blog ^__^) and can only give you a quick summary should show this. This book is interesting and a good book, but theres nothing that really will stick in your mind forever. Maybe its due to its length-184 pages isn’t that much to pack a lot into. I would like to read the sequel though.
Overall: Strength 3 tea to My So Called Afterlife, a quick read for anyone who likes ghosts and romance. Mainly for girly girls. If you’re looking for spooks and gore, this isn’t it.

Needless to say that, yet again, I have looked like a crazy person laughing out loud on the tube... I love this book!

What I love the most is that Tamsyn Murray takes a situation - the ghost of a girl brutally murdered in a toilet on Carnaby Street - and creates a very unexpected story out of it. When I read the summary, I assumed different things about Lucy's murderer, her family and what she would want to do with the help of Jeremy.

But this is not actually what happens, Lucy's death marks the beginning of a new existence and the only thing she wants from her old life is to be kept up to date with soap operas. She discovers, with the help of Jeremy, all the tricks to her new existence (yes, I've read Twilight too many times and have just changed "life" to "existence" everywhere). She meets friendly ghosts like Hep and slightly less friendly ones like Kimberly. And she obviously meets a cute boy: Ryan is handsome *and* he has many things in common with Lucy. Ghost romance rules!

I loved the relationship Lucy and Jeremy have: they are very unique characters and get along really well (without it looking weird because she's a teen and he's an adult). Though they are different and sometimes don't understand each other, they form a very strong bond. I liked all the characters and it was interesting to read about the stories of the other ghosts and why they might be ghosts. I particularly enjoyed reading Hep's story.

Serious issues are talked about but the story doesn't heavily linger on them. In the sense that yes horrible things happen to people and they're always unfair, but it's the same for everyone, so what do we do now instead of lamenting on them. I find Lucy's character very interesting, she has this fighting spirit in her that just makes her even more adorable.

But the most important thing is Tamsyn Murray's writing. The book is so funny and surprising that when you look back at your entire bookcase (hidden ones, unconfessed book crushes and long-time favorites included), it will just stand-out as a unique story with an even more exceptional writing.

This book is such a treat that I would advise it to everyone and I absolutely can't wait to read My So-Called Haunting (which isn't a sequel per se, just a story coming from the same world) which will come out in September 2010!(less)
