Although I hadn't heard of it, there are alot of reviews out there for this book. My advice.. don't read them!
This is all you need to know before picking up this book...
There is a place we go to after death.. and whether it comes before Heaven, no one knows. The theory is that each inhabitant stays there until there is no one alive who has a memory of them.
It is also the story of Laura, trapped in the Antartic, and fighting for her life.
The reviews will tell you more of the storyline, but in my opinion, that is best discovered as you read.. the book needs to open up for you as you journey through.
Some reviewers seem to have been disappointed because they were expecting more.. be it a more tense storyline, more science fiction, more background to the characters.
In my opinion, it doesn't need any of that. Don't approach it with any expectation, just sit down and read. Be warned though, you won't want to put it down. :)
