I read the book, and just finished the audiobook.
Amazing on so many levels.
I had a revelation about this man and his life. He was declared dead, and came back alive to everyone. This is a very rare thing in any population of people, but he had it happen to him.
The weird thing is...his arch-nemisis, The Bird, had the same thing happen to him. He was declared dead to everyone, but he came back too.
What are the odds of two people like that, intersecting they way they did, in that place and time, both being declared dead, and both reappearing to their families years later.
Just amazing.
Loved the book......Looking forward to the movie!
