Well this was a fun book. It's very playful, romp-y, dark and at times hysterical. I didn't expect to like this book so much, especially since it contains some grammatical errors and awkward language. As soon as I noticed any errors, Lex's character swept in and crashed through my unhappiness with her ill-placed but somehow spot-on observations and unnecessary violence.I loved all the characters, even though they were sometimes unrealistic and cartoony. But that, I'm guessing, was the point. This would make a great comic book, but I enjoyed it as a words-only novel as well.

Never thought I'd read a YA novel about training to be a pretty scientific and rule-encrusted Grim Reaper. It is awesome.
