This was such a lovely rendition of a beloved classic. I read Tuck Everlasting as a child and was curious how the story would hold up as an adult. I can only say that it still had incredible power and moved me deeply. The story is charming and heartwarming, with a bittersweet gravity tying it all together.
Tuck Everlasting stands out as novel written for children which strongly affirms their emotional and physical autonomy and takes seriously their ability to understand complex topics-- whether they be moral, existential, or conceptual. Perfect for anyone looking for a cozy, thoughtful read reflecting on death in a hopeful way.

Sweet story and beautiful narration, but overall kind of felt like something was missing. Like it was too fast? Or I wanted more time with the characters? Looking forward to watching the movie.

Nice concept and writing, but one complaint: WHY IS A 17 YEAR OLD (and that's biologically—he's like 84 in reality) IN LOVE WITH AN 11 YEAR OLD? Otherwise, nice read.

It’s special to re-read a childhood favorite book. As an adult it is even more impactful. Although the main characters young age of 10 seems out of place to an adult reader.

This book will never get old, the story of Winnie and her adventures with the Tucks is one to remember. Friendship, struggles and talk of both life and death.
I loved this movie and a kid so it was fun hearing it read by Alexis Beldel.

Listening to the 50 year anniversary edition of Tuck Everlasting read by Alexis Bledel was pure nostalgia. It’s been a couple decades since I first read this book and it was so nice to return to it. Alexis Bledel really brought this classic back to life. So beautifully done.
