Book Reviews of To Live Forever
Book Review: Great Story as Always
Summary: 5 Stars
Jack Vance has a way with stories. It has been a few years since I read my last Vance book, and I found a copy of this book in my attic. I started reading it a few days ago and found myself reading it from end to end until I was finished. Jack Vance can paint a story like no other. He can set up adult themes and problems and make us laugh with his wit - even on material that from a view should not be funny? I tried to tell a friend of mine to read this book, because I found it very entertaining and amusing. I told them it involved a society that forced citizens to work for the greater good, in order to earn points so they could become immortal - but that slackers would be assassinated. Doesn't sound very funny when you look at it that way! Anyway, it appears I have read every long novel Vance has written, so this is a sad end - I wish he had written more!
Summary of To Live Forever
Garven Waylock had waited seven years for the scandal surrounding his former immortal self to be forgotten. He had kept his identity concealed so that he could once again join the ranks of those who lived forever. He had been exceedingly careful about hiding his past. Then he met The Jacynth. She was a beautiful 19 year old, and Garven wanted her. But he recognised that a wisdom far beyond her years marked her as one who knew too much about him to live. As far as she was concerned, death was a mere inconvenience. But once The Jacynth came back, Garven Waylock's life would be an everlasting hell!Action & Adventure Books
