Summary: Really Cool!
Comment: My Mom bought the book and left it laying around. The back cover write up sounded like the books I like to read, so I gave it a try. I like spooky and weird stuff, books and TV shows. Hey, it really was different. I told my friend about it and I think he's gonna get me a copy for my birthday coming up. Hope so. Does the writer have any more books like that out?

Summary: Great!
Comment: The name of the transit line: Spiritual-Material Afterlife Rapid Transit (SMART)... creative! The author offers an interesting theory and creation of an intermediary place for souls on their way to their final destination according to an evaluation of the life they lived.

Editorial Reviews:
|
After a terrifying nightmare, Joseph Paul Robinson wakes in the subway. But stations are named after places on the Monopoly board, all the station exits are blocked, and he's lost his memory. Eventually, he discovers that he is dead. After a bittersweet reunion with his deceased parents, he is left on his own in the Spiritual-Material Afterlife Rapid Transit (SMART) system to find his way to redemption or damnation. While following Joe, we meet others in this complex, fascinating and funny morality tale. There is Luscious "Mack" Brown, the sharecropper, facing a lynch mob in 1931. There is Tony Santini, the Korean War soldier facing his consequences in 1951. There is Effie Parker, the pure-hearted SMART Guide who died rescuing children from a fire in 1870. And there is Mortese the Stalker, a Demon seeking all the souls he can get. In this, his first novel, author Gerald Davis takes us on a ride into an imaginative exploration of the afterlife, inspired by modern accounts of near-death experiences. It is a highly readable parable addressing classic themes of good against evil, of faith, social responsibility, and the decline of American values.
