Tuck Everlasting overall was a very enjoyable read; however, I found the first three chapters very boring. Luckily, those chapters are very short so readers will not be bored for very long. The writing itself was very nice and made for a quick, but enjoyable read. The plot was interesting; however, feels slightly generic, and the entire time I was reading, I had a deja vu feeling. Regardless, I did enjoy the story and felt attached to the characters despite how short the story was. Tuck Everlasting is an enjoyable story, no doubt, but nothing really struck out to me making it an amazing story. Therefore, I give it three stars, good, but great, and certainly not outstanding.
Such an amazing book!!! Started and finished it today!!! Definitely recommend it.

A classic for a reason. I loved this book as a third grader, and even now, seeing it in the context of other magical realism, I think it's fantastic. Many of us strive to live forever, but fail to think about the consequences of immortality (and immutability). I remember asking myself whether I would make the same choice Winnie did when I first read this book; I am still not sure what my answer is.
I think this is the fifth time I have read this book. I love love love it :)
