Затворете очи, затаете дъх и си представете, че сте на друго място. Не е лято и не се намирате на красива поляна осеяна с цветя и чуроликащи птички.

My only complaint about this book is that it took me about 200 pages to get Into the story. Once Max arrived, the plot became more intriguing and I kept pushing through. Overall, I thought the story was well written and I liked how it was tools from Death's perspective.

an interesting twist on a storyline set in a time where many others have gone. I was initially not a fan of the story being told by death, but the idea grew on me. I found the characters lacking in development, and like we never really got to know them. I did cry at the end. overall, an okay book. not one I'd read again
