Publisher Description
The fourth novel in Peter Clines' best-selling Ex series.
When he’s awake, George Bailey is just an ordinary man. Five days a week he coaxes his old Hyundai to life, curses the Los Angeles traffic, and clocks in at his job as a handyman at the local college. But when he sleeps, George dreams of something more. George dreams of flying. He dreams of fighting monsters. He dreams of a man made of pure lightning, an armored robot, a giant in an army uniform, a beautiful woman who moves like a ninja.
Then one day as he’s walking from one fix-it job to the next, a pale girl in a wheelchair tells George of another world, one in which civilization fell to a plague that animates the dead…and in which George is no longer a glorified janitor, but one of humanity’s last heroes. Her tale sounds like madness, of course. But as George’s dreams and his waking life begin bleeding together, he starts to wonder - which is the real world, and which is just fantasy?
Customer Reviews
Tedious
I liked "14" a lot and the first "The Fold" sequel. I haven't read the other Ex series books but I had high hopes for Ex-Purgatory based on the reviews. However, I found "Ex-Purgatory" to be tedious a bit over half-way through and I'm on the fence about finishing it. It seems like a never-ending saga of zombie killings described in unnecessarily great detail. Even if I decide to finish it, I doubt that I will buy other books in this series.
