Started off good, interesting! But died in the last half, and never was revived. Pun intended

A really great and interesting story, definitely makes a change to the otherwise already-seen stories. Toward the end, I would, however, have liked a little less pace. The speaker of the audio version gets a perfect score.

Concept: 5 stars
Execution: 2 stars
Characterization: -10 stars
self-righteous, spineless, mary-suesk, puke of a hero: -20 stars.
As another reviewer already said, this would be a great book if someone else had written it (someone like Haruki Murakami). The desperation to have this turned into a movie reeked from every page. I won't read the sequel because the main character sadly and predictably lives on, and I cannot bear another word of this disgusting twat.

I really liked the characters and the idea of revival but the plot just didn’t work for me and I spent the last 100 pages just wanting it to be over.
