RamsFan1963

The Uploaded | Ferrett Steinmetz

pick

107/100 In a dark future, the technology exists to upload your consciousness upon death to a virtual paradise called Upterlife. While the dead enjoy their simulated adventures, the land of the living deteriorates as all resources are turned to maintaining the virtual world. At first I didn't like the main character, he was shallow, a prankster, someone who takes nothing seriously, except for his sister Izzy. He grows to be the face of the ⬇️

RamsFan1963 rebellion, but he's still a seriously flawed character, doing the rebellion for selfish reasons, to aid his sister's medical condition, and so annoyingly indecisive about the two women who are in love with him. It started a little slow, but once the reader gets a wider view of the characters' world, the story takes off at a fast pace that doesn't let up until the kind of, but not quite happy ending. 4/5⭐ #Read2025 2w

Five People You Meet in Heaven | Mitch Albom

pan

Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom (2003)
⭐️⭐️

Premise: A crusty amusement park worker has five transforming encounters when he enters the afterlife.

Review: Stories about the afterlife are generally either cynical or sentimental, so I was expecting a certain amount of cringe here. But wow. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday this is without question the most, un-self-aware, saccharine slop I‘ve ever read. It does have some nice content on grace and forgiveness, but that‘s about the best I can say about it. I remember when this was everywhere; two decades later, I have to ask, WHY?!

Bookish Pair: If you need a healthy dose of afterlife cynicism after this, Here Goes Nothing, by Steve Toltz (2022) 3w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag He does basically just rewrite the same book over and over 3w

Mattsbookaday @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘ll never know because I‘ll never go near another one again! 😂 3w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Mattsbookaday 🤣 fair 3w
