Not Moore's best. Certainly an original idea but flat execution, flat characters, and an all-time disappointing ending. The dialog between the dead characters feels more human than that between the live ones. And the ending! I was expecting a literal Deus ex Machina, but it wasn't even that. It was a half-assed hand-wavey there-I-fixed-it that annulled the whole story, the growth and change and redemption in the few characters I cared about.
