It's a great blurb. How would you spend your life if you knew when you die? I couldn't help but be intrigued by the concept. I wanted it to be a great read. Unfortunately it was very different from what I had expected. It was very dark and maudlin. I'm curious about how the prophecy will play out but I have no interest in reading any more of this book to find out. In this case the great blurb does the book a disservice by setting it up for failure because the book itself seems so different.
