Everlost by Neal Shusterman

linzthebookworm's review against another edition

I absolutely adored Everlost by Neal Shusterman. I felt like it was a really unique approach to what the afterlife is like. There was so much world-building that gave the story a lot of interesting details. I really liked the way the characters had to interact with those details. I liked Allie, Leif, and even The McGill (towards the end...) Nick kind of grew on me after annoying me for a lot of the book, and I found Mary kind of snobby and fake. Overall I really liked the story and can't wait to continue on with the series.

I really liked this book. The story was well told and kept you enthralled with what would happen next.

This is geared towards YA, but I always like books that surprise me and this one did. I saw this book while trying to pick up a few selections for my stepson and I thought I should give it a go to make sure the recommendation is not far off. Quick read that I would recommend to younger readers and to those adults that just want a fun time.

I think this was a strong start to a trilogy!
Neal Shusterman did a great job building this world (as he did with Arc of a Scythe).

Spoiler

I had an inkling that the McGill was probably Mary's brother.
Mary wonders how her brother has turned into such a monster, but she fails to see that she has been one too. Luckily all books are out and I wouldn't have to wait.

I felt like the writing was for younger audiences and it felt really slow
