(  )ateamrocks | Jun 12, 2009 |   This is probably one of the most original books I've ever read. It had me pulled in from the get-go. When I checked it out I wasn't really even expecting to like it that much, but it was fantastic! The story is amazing and the writing is great and the characters are vivid. Neal Shusterman wrote a really wonderful book. ( )AmandaH | May 5, 2009 | I loved Everlost, I carry it almost everywhere I go! At my graduation, I made everyone sign it, instead of my yearbook! I adore his style, his characters acted very human-like, they reacted to things in the way we probably would. The book really got me thinking about what will happen to me when I pass away. The plot and the characters really brought out the best of what the book had to offer. I really hadn't expected some of the twists in the story, they really added to the story, I'd say Everlost is a best selling book, no doubt. I can honesty say, I have never read such a good book like this in a long time. It is second to none. ( )NikkiHearts | Apr 27, 2009 | I seem to pick up Shusterman's books without reading about them. I did that with Unwind and now with Everlost. Both books are excellent. Everlost is the story of a car crash and the adventures of two teenagers, Nick and Allie. Instead of going where people go after they die, the teens end up in a place called Everlost. In what is in some ways a quest novel, Nick and Allie have to solve a series of problems in order to get to their goal. Along the way they make and lose friends and fight monsters. While the book might sound slightly juvenile, it is not. There is violence, love, and loss. Shusterman's writing is strong, as is the story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689872372, Hardcover)Nick and Allie don't survive the car accident... ...but their souls don't exactly get where they're supposed to get either. Instead, they're caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no onger exist. It's a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of lost children run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth. When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost kids, Nick feels like he he's found a home, but allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the "Criminal Art" of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost. In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what just might lie in between.
