Review

Denton Little lives in a world where everyone (well, almost everyone) knows the day they will die from a young age thanks to the field of "AstroThanatoGenetics." Denton manages to pack a lot in during his last day -- waking up hung over not remembering his first sexual encounter, fighting and making up with his girlfriend, learning his best friend's mother has a secret, and almost being run over by a yellow car that keeps appearing out of nowhere. He is the main event at his own funeral and even attends his senior prom. This is a funny, fast-paced romp and at the risk of spoiling things, a sequel is possibly scheduled for spring 2016 (publication delayed according to Titlewave).

Overall Book Score: very good
