More Than This by Patrick Ness

If you could ask the author/illustrator of this book one question, what would it be?

Call me crazy, but I always wonder what it FEELS like to die or what do you SEE after you actually die. Probably because I read too many dead people adventures.

In this book, Seth died by the hand of water, and wakes up striped naked inside a coffin in his old house. Throughout this book, Seth has to run, hide and venture {literally} into deaths territory.

The one question I would ask Mr. Patrick is why right THIS book? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but why right a adventure that "happened" after death? Had he flat lined before and was just interested in writing about death? Who knows?
