Naomi Kramer's novella DEAD(ish) is unlike anything I've ever read before. I had been on a fairly steady diet of Terry Pratchett [I like to read Pratchett while I'm working] so probably shouldn't have jumped straight into a story like this one. It is remarkably well-written, something I've come to expect from Ms Kramer, and the story flows with ease - I read it in one sitting.
The pathos of the main character, the recently departed Linda, is both funny, tragic and pathetic all at the same time. ...more

I really enjoyed this book :)

To say any more would be to spoil the story. Read it or Linda might appear. bwahhhhh ...more
