The Next Thing I Knew by John Corwin

“Humanity is Extinct” this is how the book starts off, they`re all dead every single person on earth, well almost.  
We met Lucy a lovely, funny, and strong-willed girl, who died at home with her parents and baby brother; she meets with many of her friends, well actually with almost everybody else at what they think is the afterlife, and well things in this book just flow from there.
The story is enigmatic, intriguing and engaging, I found myself at two or three in the morning glued to this book and not able to let it go.
John Corwin manages to take the reader into a huge ride throw SCI FI lane, we have Ghosts, Aliens, religious fanatics and so much more.
It was like reading Michael Crichton meets George Lucas meets Melissa Mathison but in the best way possible.
The only thing that I don´t like is the “Now what” feeling I have now that the book ended…
That being said John if you don`t write a sequel for this book soon enough I’ll have to turn Kung fu Panda on you, with or without the meditation lol!!!!
The Next Thing you knew I was giving your book a five star rating just cause I can, and just cause I absolutely loved it.
You guys really need to pick this up it`s a great book!!!!

    @Amy: Out of all my books, this cover is my favorite, but it does make it look a bit like a horror novel, doesn't it?
