Living the Good Death by Scott Baron
4.0
Look me in the eyes and tell me you wouldn’t have bought this book at Half Priced Books after seeing the Grim Reaper taking a selfie as the cover. You can’t.
In the beginning, I really didn’t think I liked it. It’s a streak of consciousness book with a very wild premise, but after you let yourself succumb to the strange ways of Living The Good Death , it’s a really good book. While I sat there reading, I would sigh and say “this is a really strange book.”, hoping my mother would ask, “why”, but only after me repeating this phrase thrice did she bite. However, after she asked why was it strange, I couldn’t really come up with a coherent answer that didn’t make the book sound like garbage. All of this is to say that it’s a weird book, but it’s good. Like really intriguing. Like I enjoyed it thoroughly even if I was a bit baffled whilst reading.
P.S
I’m not recommending this because some people don’t share my love for strange and weird books.
