Publisher's Summary

From the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls comes one of the most provocative teen novels of our time. A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is this possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? The street seems familiar, but everything is abandoned, overgrown, covered in dust.

What's going on? Is it real? Or has he woken up in his own personal hell? Seth begins to search for answers, hoping desperately that there must be more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife....

A middling journey in 3 sylables or less

The concept was interesting, but the characters are sentimental, annoying, and possess a very limited vocabulary

Great Narration!

The narration and writing of this story is great. It does a great job subverting expectations. It lost me at one point but stick with it, it comes around for a satisfying ending

Meh

Weak main character tried to kill himself for a stupid reason. The first 20 chapters you don't even need to read cuz all it is is exploration of the world with internal monologue from the main character. The word more was used in almost every other paragraph.

I expected more than this

A struggle to get through. Flat characters. Little depth to the plot. Great narration though.

YA book for the ages.

I want more, the best worst ending. I am still not sure what's going on and I still loved it.
