As good as dead is an exceptionally well

written book. From the very first sentence

all the way to the very last page it keeps

you entertained. I loved how the ending of

the book was so subtle yet it gave you enough

information to let you know exactly what

happened. I loved the different perspectives

that we received from this book and it was a

very enjoyable read. The book takes us on a

journey through Pip’s 3rd year in a row
