Okay, so!
This is definitely one of our shorter reads, and as such it seems to punch a good powerful wham at you from the get go. I do really like Chris going to Hell to save Ann. I also love how he sacrifices Heaven and chooses to stay in Hell with Ann. For me I think the most powerful part was when he gave her a verbal Thank You Note. It made Ann really see him in state she was in and it showed how much he loved her. Telling her everything that she did and thanking her for it was very beautiful.
I had a hard time getting through the beginning, though not for the same reasons as Katie. It just freaked me out. His inability to accept his death was just....freaky. He was stuck and unable to move on because he couldn't see the fact that he had died despite everything showing that he had.
I really like Albert and his constant understanding of everything Chris was going through. His knowledge of Summerland and other areas was pretty great considering he probably hadn't been there nearly as long as others. I had to admit, when he said the seasons didn't change at all, I could only think, "What about snow?" Luckily Chris asked the question for me or I'd still be dwelling on it, lol.
This is my final post for the book :-) And I wanted to get it done before surgery, so go me! :-D
I have to agree with you about the beginning too. I kind of had a hard time with it, he had all of these signs pointing to the fact that, dude you're dead, but he just didn't want to accept it. Which can be freaky, to both reader and character.
