The Many Afterlives of John Robert Thompson

A truck crashes into John Robert Thompson. He chokes on food. He tumbles down stairs. Unassuming, incurious, boring, and unaccomplished, John must expire repeatedly because he keeps flunking at living -and dying.John is too lazy to desire Heaven or to twist in agony in Hell. This novel by Valerie Lioudis takes you on a never-boring metaphysical journey through permutations of the afterlife as this mediocre man's assigned shepherds-angels, demons, and something else entirely-grow increasingly weary with his inability to grow and engage in life .... or death.One reviewer called the book fascinating, saying, "I became so invested in the character that every time he had to start over I was so disappointed for him. His experiences in some of his afterlife made me question my own behaviors. You'll love this book."
