I enjoyed this story.  It had a lot of interaction between the characters and it made it interesting.  Robbie Snow is a unique character with a mission to complete.  Thanks to Mr. Johnny Divine and his agreement, Robbie can't fail, he just can't.  He doesn't want to think about the consequences if he does.Tension is high as family members squabble over what they expect from the deceased's estate but Robbie tries to keep them focused on doing the right things, proper behavior and eating the special pie.This is a good story but I felt it just ended rather abruptly. The book could have been a few chapters longer to show us the fate of Robbie and the next wake he has to attend.  So much time is invested in getting to know Robbie Snow's character and understand the pressures he is under that I would have liked to know how Robbie's fate turned out.  This story is written in the style of a Stephen King short story and Scott Nicholson has done a good job of presenting a classic tale.  I am waiting for the release of the second half and seeing the fate of Robbie Snow!
