Summerland by Hannu Rajaniemi

calypte's review against another edition

3.0

Great concept, strong writing, but the lack of a character that I really cared about left me a bit cold on this one. Still, I'd happily pick up any further adventures in this world where death is just another 'country'...!

Full review, as ever, available on my blog.

A bit slow to start but gets going and ends with a rush. Enjoyable.

Ihan viihdyttävä ja sujuva yliluonnollinen vakoojatarina sellaisessa Hellboy meets John le Carré -hengessä. Ei mitään ihmeellistä, olisi varmasti oikeissa käsissä mainio elokuva.

Found it hard to get around the premise of an afterlife as a fourth dimension.

Spy thriller with ghosts. A bit of a slow start but really neat world building.
