This book was nicely written, and very easy to read (finished in 2 days). I didn't feel bored, but I also didn't really feel for the characters. I didn't feel like there were any stakes, and the ending seemed to come out of no where. The ending was also a little too neat for my tastes. It felt kind of preachy too; the sudden switch to hopefulness and 'living in the moment'.
I did like the timeline, and the look into Tom's past and adventures.
I was a bit disappointed in Marion's reveal, and how little importance she seemed ot have at the end. Like Tom's purpose for four hundred years was finding her... and then she leaves? And he starts another family? I thought that was strange. I would have much preferred if Tom said his goodbye's to Camille and reconnected with albas to build a real community with people who are going to live forever.
