But an eternity in a fusty cave full of philosophy books and obscure classical music is actually worse.Then Conor realizes that his personal version of Hell might be someone else's idea of Heaven - and vice versa.

What he sees is disgusting and what he discovers is shocking, but oddly enough Conor learns a hell of a lot about life - now that he's dead!
