I'm just barely rating this a four. While the book is a ton of fun to read, it's a bit strange and it ends without any sense of resolution (although I suspect that's part of the point).

Reread this to watch the show. In my opinion this books reads very slow, but the characters, the ways they speak and see the world, and the world they live in seems so familiar and simultaneously dar away you can't help but continue reading. An interesting read for those looking for a more recent classic, but not too recent. Excited to see what they do with the show, considering the depressing plot but funny dialog and descriptions.

The power of the dead is that we think they see us all the time. The dead have a presence. Is there a level of energy composed solely of the dead? They are also in the ground, of course, asleep and crumbling. Perhaps we are what they dream. 
May the days be aimless. Let the seasons drift. Do not advance the action according to plan.
