Nilesh Jasani's Reviews > After Death

After Death is a meandering mess that fails to deliver on any front. The plot is utterly senseless, aimlessly wandering without any clear direction or purpose. The sole purpose of the painfully stretched build-up seems to be to avoid any action between the hero and hopelessly powerless villains.

In the process, the author turns preachy and often worse than that with some of his views on racism. The expositions on “singularity” are equally worse. The central character's "singularity" abilities are laughable; a superhero gaining powers from a potion would be more plausible than supposedly scientifically accorded powers here.

The villains fare no better with their clownish, stereotypical characterization and mindless actions. They make the book even more a slog of a read, devoid of any thrills, suspense or credibility.
