A review by diesmali
Summerland by Hannu Rajaniemi

2.0

Essentially a spy novel set in Europe 1938... except in this alternate history death has been reduced to nothing more than a land you go to after your body dies (if you have "the ticket"), and contact between the living and the dead is frequent.
An original setting that deserved more. The story is severely lacking in mood and tension. I didn't really warm to any of the characters either.
