Review: Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives

I loved idea of this book. Take a simple concept like what does life after death really look like and instead of squeezing the juice out of one idea - produce a few dozen vignettes on the theme and let your reader ponder them instead.  Not taken with one of them? Simply move onto the next.

There's quite a bit of repetition, or at least variations on a theme. Some like the opening story, really make you think - others feel like the denouement of a Twilight Zone episode. 

Verdict: Mind Candy.
