Okay, only halfway through this one, but WOW!

I had to stop reading Stephen King's Joyland to make room for this one.

If the second half is anywhere near as good as the first, this will definitely be one of the "Best of 2013" novels, with a truly intriguing premise -- what if your dead loved ones came back to life, and you had aged while they hadn't? -- played out in a down-to-earth, small-town setting where real people have to figure out how to deal with an unreal occurrence.

Due out August 27, 2013, I'm reading an advance copy from NetGalley. Stay tuned!
