Death and Chocolate

Alright guys, time to kick off the book club! Just to reiterate, there will be four posts, two each from Chloe and me, one for each section of the prologue.

So, Death and Chocolate. In this section, we are introduced to Death, his occupation (shall we say), and his feelings on the matter. What do you think of Death thus far? In his own words, he is amiable, agreeable, affable, and yet he ‘truthfully’ and unnervingly declares in the fifth line that “you are going to die.” A rather odd way to start a novel, yes?

The colors are another point of discussion. What do you think the colors represent? Are they simply the shades of the sky at the time of a person’s death, or are they some reflection of the person’s soul?

Death also touches on humanity towards the end of this section. Though he doesn’t speak on it specifically, how do you think he views man overall? Survivors frighten him, and he’s not fond of his job, so what’s left for him to like, if anything?

Any other comments on anything at all from this section are welcome too, of course.
