pickI very much enjoyed this novel. It's unique structure was an effective hook. The first section - "Mind" - finds our protagonist already dead, and follows her mind in the 10 minutes after death as it still remains active. The second section -"Body" - follows her five beloved friends as they try to give her the burial she deserves. Not perfect, but certainly a novel I will remember. Definitely recommended.

So I finally made my way through the 2017 Man Booker longlist....and if *I* were a judge, here are my rankings. #OnTo2018 #SoManyBooks #NeverCatchUp #TheyDontAskMyOpinion #ButTheyShould #EliReadstheBookers
pickI did not think I was going to enjoy this book. I could not have been more wrong.
This reads like the first season of a fantastic new HBO show - dark, forboding, with a cast of characters you immediately sympathize with, making the inevitable disaster that much more raw.
This was great - don't miss it

so-soThis felt to me like two halves of two really great books that for some reason got stuck together, but didn't really belong with each other. I will be interested to see what the author's next book brings. #EliReadsTheBookers
