A surprising twist on the life-after-death genre, Beforelife is a life-before-life story, where those who remember their "past lives" are considered, well, aberrant. I really enjoyed this sideways look at the After-life, and was pleasantly surprised to find a Canadian protagonist! Well, at least he'd been Canadian the last time...

It's funny but the forward momentum of the plot gets lost in endless side moments that seem to add little to the story.

DNF.

I really wanted to get into this book, but I just couldn't. I tried, but it wasn't for me.

I can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book! It's funny, inventive, with great characters, a zippy plot, and terrific world building. Don't miss this one!
