Glad that I finished the book, but I was a bit disappointed in the ending. Very Hollywood and NOT what I expected. Overall, an interesting book but not on my list of "faves."
AFTERWORD: Now that much time has passed since I read this book, I do want to say that much of it still resonates with me, so it WAS a good book, better than I indicate above. That is a litmus test for me: what I remember of the book months after finishing. Forever was epic, historic and grand in scale. A bit preposterous for me - who likes realism. The underlying premise, that the main character lives forever, was hard for me to swallow, but if you can treat reading as "escape," then I should be more forgiving.
