Audiobook Narration: 5 🌟
There is a huge number of characters, each of which gets introduced to the reader in very little time, only to disappear and reappear in choppy, random, little chapters. The characters are unlikeable... Apart from the Death Lady! The chapters from her point of view saved the book. Half of them are dreary and awful, too, but there are a few beautiful, reflective words told in her whimsical voice.
The writing is lengthy and meandering. The book is far too long and the middle part was largely unreadable. The premise has been done in better ways (see: The Measure). However, the final part of the book was written in a beautiful and moving way. The narrative voice of the Death Lady is charming, especially the descriptions of celebrities!
Despite considering to DNF or return it, I made it through the book as quickly as possible so it could be over. I hated how the sensitive subject matter was handled and I will most definitely not repeat the entire experience. However, there were a select few beautiful pieces of writing in there that raise it to 2.75 stars.
