Unfortunately, Downham's publisher has handicapped Before I Die by
labeling it a young-adult novel, thus ghettoizing this gem to the back of most

literary establishment.

of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.

Guess this means I have to read it next.
Apparently my only problem words are "kill" (used twice) and "suck" (used once, but I think they're not counting correctly).
