Review: Not as good as the first

After reading DEAD(ish) Book 1 I immediately purchased the other two books of the series.  I liked the concept of this book but really Cooper was way too whiny for me to be able to deal with.  I still enjoyed the dark and crude humor that carried over from the first book but I didn't really care for the overall story or character development for this one.  It felt really flat for me and I didn't feel any real emotion at the end of the story.  I was just kind of glad I didn't have to read about Cooper anymore, he was just so annoying.  My thoughts on Cooper, however, had nothing to do with his love for computers or that his heaven is inside a computer.  Heaven is whatever you make it so I understand their "ruling" that Cooper is OK with where he is because at least he's moved on.  I love the idea that the author wrote this story about a total nerd who is so into video games.  But being a gamer myself and knowing many people who play the types of games that are referenced in this book, I found the stereotype gamer used in this story to be pretty insulting.  Linda, however, was awesome and I loved her reactions to the stupidity that was Cooper.  Because of that I completely related to her, I seriously just wanted to strangle Cooper through the whole story.  Too bad he was already dead.Conclusion:Least favorite out of the three by far but would recommend it if you enjoyed the first one and would like to continue reading about Linda.  Reading about her character alone makes up for my lack of interest in Cooper and for $.99 it really is worth it.
