I read this because I never read any of this author's books when I was young and it seemed like a funny coincidence that this book randomly came up in two different contexts in the same week. The prose isn't great. It reminds me of how books for teenagers used to be written. I could be wrong, but I think a lot of them are written better now, I don't know. It took a long time to get going, but ultimately it was pretty engaging. I've read a little bit about the sequels and I'm not sure I'll bother reading them since the first one seems to end on a note that suggests a relationship in the afterlife, and it didn't seem that this continues in the other two books. I'm intrigued by the books though since people complain that they're basically a presentation of a sort of cosmology which seems entertaining enough.
