Alive in Necropolis by Doug Dorst

5.0

Really really good. Every time I thought the plot was going to go one way it went somewhere different (well almost every time, I did predict a few turns), and the place where it went was very intense. Actually, "intense" is the single word that best fits this book. It's not scary or gruesome like many books that deal with the dead, but it will make your heart pound.

One tip for any potential readers: If you have fears of death, vivid and paralyzing fears, then it would be wise to read this book mostly during the daytime. Reading this book at night in the peacefulness of your apartment will possibly bring on crippling panic attacks. Still read it, it's a great book, but just do it on your train to work or at a buzzing coffeehouse or something.
