Looking for Alaska
"And what is this "instant" death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten? The pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding takes an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous." - Looking for Alaska by John Green
