This was a very unique book. The way it's written is very different from every book I've ever read. It kept me intrigued, even as it changed story lines every other chapter. It tells about the city of the dead, where the dead wait until they pass on from memory to the stranded woman at the south pole.

All in all, the book was excellent until the final chapters, where it feels like the author just went totally berserk and ends the book leaving me more confused than the book made me feel as a whole. The "conclusion" was never concluded for me because of this, but still worth the read.

I can honestly say I'll never look at coca-cola the same again.
