What a wild ride!!! I really enjoyed this quick little novel, it flew by in just a few sittings. 
 Imagine a world where you know from a very young age the exact date of your death. Think of how different things would be... you could attend your own funeral, held before your death date! You could tie up lose ends, and accomplish everything on your bucket list, and make sure that all of the people around you know just what you think of them. 
 Denton approaches his deathdate with flair, and it's amazing. Paolo was a great contrast to Denton's just want to be normal lifestyle, and I hope that we get to see how he handles his own deathdate in a sequel. There's plenty of mystery here, with a tiny dash of romance (minuscule, really, I don't think it even counts), and tons of adventure. A great book to recommend to reluctant teenage boy readers. 
 There were some goofy and unbelievable twists and turns, but I just went with it. You may find these irritating, but I felt like they added to the books quirky charm. Can't wait to see more from this author!
