A boy drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments. He dies. Then he wakes, naked and bruised and thirsty, but alive. How can this be? And what is this strange deserted place?

As he struggles to understand what is happening, the boy dares to hope. Might this not be the end? Might there be more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife?

From multi-award-winning Patrick Ness comes one of the most provocative and moving novels of our time.

Review of 'More Than This' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

A brooding book about the nature of life, death, reality and people. It borrows heavily from the classical “is reality real” trope toolbox with varying degrees of success.

A fun and exciting read that seems to think it’s a a good bit more intelligent than it really is with a rather disappointing ending.
