Review: Redemption Is Always Possible
Rating: 4 out of 5

An Unassigned Life is a masterpiece of irony. When the main character finds he lives his best life after he dies. That's it for spoilers!I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was humorous, touching, filled with irony and emotional honesty. It's not what I would call action packed, and it is a touch cerebral, but that works well for this story.The characters stand out in unique ways, very individual, and there is a solid variety of them, each coping with life in their own unique ways. The main character, a struggling novelist, redeems himself by actually helping the people he meets, as an unassigned soul, to live better lives.A strong blend of characters, humor, slices of lives, and literary nuance add up to an enjoyable tale.
