I was introduced with this book at school, for studying english from here, and i have to say, the story is "stupendously horrific". The fact that this story was narrated in a rather unusual way by an unusual one, death. The thing that acts as an advantage making death the narrator is that we are able to know every part of the story, even if the characters don't. In normal stories, the narrator has no personality, just narrating stuff. But in here the narrator itself acts partly as a character in the story. That is the most i liked out of this book setting aside the other incidents excellently described by the writer.
