Publisher's summary

He tried to take my life. Instead I took his.

It happened so long ago, I've forgotten the details. But he was desperate, hungry enough to kill. As I was dying, my hand touched his. That's when my first switch took place.

I looked through the eyes of my killer just in time to see my own body die.

Now switching is easy. I can jump from body to body, have any life, be anyone. All it takes is a touch.

Great story, amazing narration

Dynamic, interesting and inspiring. Make you think a lot about mind and body questions.
BUT the best thing is the narration. Just brilliant.

Good book

I did however enjoy The first fifteen lives of Harry August more. The idea of this book is intriguing but the plot becomes a little thin.

Fast plot, awkward motivations

The performance is great stuff - a voice that manages to keep a measured and androgynous and timeliness quality of narration while cycling through a myriad of male and female characters. North’s plot is original enough (See the ‘Orpheus Ruse’) and driven at breakneck speed. What is a bit more ambiguous is the motivation of the two protagonists, the ‘ghosts’. The villain is defined as a deranged immature girl psyche who is nonetheless capable of very complex machinations. The protagonist is oddly timid in his/her own self-definition, and never credibly establishes why he’d spend the effort to be an ‘estate agent’. It’s the kind of book that’ll make a hit movie.
