The Resurrectionist by Jack O'Connell
4.0
An intriguing and mesmerising tale exploring the idea of what people trapped in comas experience - where they 'go'.
I enjoyed the intertwining worlds of Danny and his father Sweeney and those of the freaks of Limbo. How each new chapter revealed a little more about each parallel world and steadily brought you closer to the dramatic conclusion.
I can't give it a 5 simply because i felt a number of characters weren't explored to the full extent that I would have wished: Alice Peck and Buzz to name but a few, but I really immersed myself in these worlds and felt a true connection to the characters.
This is the kind of book I would recommend to anyone who enjoys dark, surreal tales where you are happy to form your own conclusions.
