Why are so many people in love with this book? I will admit that the first half is so good you don't want to put it down. That second half is horrid!!! It is as though the author had to drag herself to finish it and did so with overused cliches. What was up with the "Ghost" like out of body sexual experience?-I realize reality had to be suspended since the narrator is dead-but it was just too silly and reminded too much of Patrick Swayze taking over Whoopi Goldberg's body so he could be with his beloved Demi Moore). I wanted to love this book to the end but it was just not possible.
