For most people, the idea of being immortal
seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Who would not like to run around and
amass knowledge from different cultures, experience the making of the world as
we know it, and basically get to do what ever it is you want to without fear or
concern for the future?
Immortal, by Gene Doucette, provides a glimpse
into this type of life with Adam, a interesting main character with a sometimes
witty, sometimes insightful, sometimes drunken perspective on the world around him. He struggles
with a variety of different characters, both real and “magical,” as well as
what most might consider a drinking problem. Adam is a unique character with a
unique voice that keep the reader consistently hungry for more adventure.
My honest option? You are probably going to
want to read this one. If you like a book that creates a few laughs, this one
this one will work. If you like drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat,
this one will work. It isn’t every day that you find a book that stands out
from the rest. For me, this was unlike any other book that I’ve read and you
know me; I’ve read a lot. Check to the right for a link to the book at Amazon.

As a side note:
·
This isn’t going to be one
for the kiddos. I’d leave this one to the grown ups only because of a few
F-bombs and its got a few sexual elements. Apparently iffrits just can’t help
themselves.

I received a copy of this
book from The Writer’s Coffee Shop via NetGalley. I was not paid for writing
the review. It was just a great opportunity to sample another author’s work and
share it with you. J
