I really really liked this. I was unsure at the beginning, the dialogue felt a bit forced and clumsy. The interesting premise kept me going and the dialogue settled and the characters got a bit less cliched.

I found it pretty hard to read in parts, having a 4 yo son myself.

It was an easy read and you could take as much from it as you wanted - the plot was novel and interesting and was enough on its own without delving any deeper. But if you wanted to take something more ponderous from it then that was there for you, in themes around the afterlife, reincarnation, karma and the nature of souls.
