Afterlife by Marcus Sakey
5.0
GOD! WHAT DID I JUST READ! THIS WAS SO GOOD!
I don't know how to start this review. I don't know how I would be able to justify writing this review. Am I even worthy enough to review a book of such calibre?
Afterlife is one of those rare gems which come by only once in a lifetime. This book has opened up my mind, both literally and metaphorically. After a long time, I have been so invested in a book. The words and writing were poetry - I could feel the author taking his time, choosing the right words, and putting in the effort to write this book. The characters - Will, Claire, and others - felt so real. The relationship between Will and Claire was so pure, I could feel their love in me. Worth mentioning is Edmund, who starts off the book that with a bang. Edmund was unworldly. This book was unworldly! It was shocking, overwhelming, unbelievable. At every quarter a goal would be accomplished and I would be like - Now what? Then the author will bring out another twist from his magic hat and blow me away. This book created fireworks in my brain, I could feel it expand with all the amazing happenings. The plot is mind-blowing, mind-boggling, mind-bending. This beast of a book was a feast for my mind. This book had elements of The Matrix, Ghost, Inception and Titanic. This book is a thriller, romance, fantasy, science fiction, and supernatural, all in one. I was wonderstruck by the end of the book. Also, I cried happy tears - the third time I ever cried for a book (first two being - Kane and Abel and All the Light We Cannot See). This book actually stupefied me and I am still in its trance.
Afterlife by Marcus Sakey deserves all the stars in the universe. But since I have only 5 with me, I'll give them all.
