This was a surprisingly entertaining read, as far as science fiction goes this is where it's at. Not only was this book a unique story, it made posed questions and ideas regarding life, death and everything in between. It's great when a book throws topics like this at you but doesn't beat you over the head with them. Unfortunately I feel the books description on Goodreads spoiled a fairly significant plot item well into the book. However, don't let that stop you because you'll be enjoying the book, and wondering about life and death, all the way until the last page.
