The book run smoothly most of the time despite that one scene.

It was the moment when the student died and the way it was described left me in a 3 month pause to read this book

Oh man, what a ride.  I think this is the best portrayal of death and grieving that I have ever read.  King explores different kinds of death, as well as different reactions to it.  He even touches on different religions and views of death.   His portrayal of a funeral hit spot on.  

And in all reality, if most people had a chance to bring someone they loved back from the dead, especially in those painful first days, wouldn't they give anything to do it?

I didn’t love the condescending way Louis treats Rachel, even if it’s coming from a good place.

I found this book to be really slow until 70 or 80% of the way into it. The narrator was really good though. I find the conversation topic of the book(death) to be really interesting and how it’s discussed. We see someone spiral because of grief and make choices that they think are good,but in the end aren’t. King’s characters don’t asked to be redeemed unlike most modern stories. They are just who they are and that’s it.
