More on Last Orders

Last Orders so far seems to be about death and the memories that are left behind. The book starts off with Jack in a small bottle in the form of ashes and his various friends confronted with his funeral and the duty of dispersing his ashes into the sea of his choice. The first member of the gang is Ray. Ray began his journey with Jack in the deserts of Africa during World War Two. Vic, the town undertaker come next because of his shop being located across from the butcher shop of Jack. Vince, the son of jack, and Lenny also follow suit. 

Mr. Swift seems very intent on shifting the characters, and so every chapter is named for the point of view of the speaker. I really like how it feels as if the characters are viewpoints of a camera, yet that is the main difference from other authors. Swift likes to jump from character to character and I don't blame him because he definitely knows how to do so.
