The Postmortal

The main character as an average joe is one lens to view agelessness through, but it is not very compelling. John feels relatively uninteresting and unlikeable. He is often sexualizing the women in his life, and it never amounts to much depth between the characters. One John ends up with his childhood crush and acts like a general douche I completely gave up my attachment to him as a character. I found myself jumping entire paragraphs to get to the parts about post mortality in the society.

As I enter Part III of The Postmortal I am at peace. John has just begun offering end services for postmortals, people who want to commit assisted suicide. I too am ready to give up my life in John's world. It isn't a terrible book, it's just not a stellar one.
