    Reader note

    It's quite mind-bending, but very engaging. The bus convoy, the team leader, the old man smoking on the last bus, the old lady who left her vegetable basket behind, the protagonist's blind date's girlfriend, etc.—You can't tell which character is human or ghost, who's good, and who's bad. There's also Tang Xiansheng, who gets Li Yao to drive the bus, and so on. This book is only about 800,000 words long, and it's never padded out; it's truly well-written and worth recommending.
