An easy, peaceful read that insights a wonder of what
You might do given the same situation. How would you live out the rest of your life if you were to never die? Did Winnifred do the right thing by living out the rest of her life. I do wish the ending was different- it would have been interesting to hear the other side of things- if she did drink the water and wait for Jesse to find her- but then again he never went back looking for her either. I read it all in one sitting, definitely happy I picked this book up, as I randomly found it in my old stuff although I don’t think I had ever heard of it before now.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid, so I was looking forward to reading it with my ten-year-old daughter. It hits a bit differently as an adult... The age gap between Winnie and Jesse... The Tuck's lack of interest in becoming educated or making any sort of positive ripple in the world, etc. I might've rated it lower had it not been a childhood favorite. However, it was still a great little read and my daughter enjoyed it as well.

Tuck Everlasting had beckoned onto me when I was much younger. However, I only got hold of the book last week, as I was nonchalantly skimming through rows of spines and secondhand titles. The experience I had while reading Tuck Everlasting is every bit what I expected; I was transported during the peak of an August summer, in front of the touch-me-not cottage at the edge of the Treegap village, as I, the reader, together with little Winnie Foster, yearn with an endearing penchant for whatever mystery lies beyond the woods.
Written almost half a century ago, perhaps one could say that Tuck Everlasting, in many ways, is similar to the Tuck family themselves—everlasting because of its universal theme, pulling its readers, both young and old, into a charming coming-of-age adventure. Because when you finished reading the last page of the epilogue as the reader finally bids Mae and Tuck farewell, you would be pulled into an embrace similar to the dawn of a childhood summer—subtle, melancholic, and bittersweet.

5 stars for what it is.
It' skins of like a grilled cheese sandwich: not fine cuisine, but it sure can be tastey. It's not meant to be Les Miserables. It's a nice children'a book to help kids think about using life well. Winnie is a great character that I think most kids can relate to in one way or another. She realizes that adventure isn't all it's cracked up to be and decides to live the life she has been given instead of wishing it were something more. Really, we can all do with that reminder once in a while.
