Trey

A very solid, Erik Larson book! Rife with the personal accounts and touches of sensory information that bring his accounts to life.

It's a fun read. But I have a question: Dude has been creating the same immortality potion every single month for the last 600 years or so, but he can't remember how to do it without the book?And he didn't think of copying the recipe down in another place as a backup? Hopefully, an explanation for that will be forthcoming in the next book.

Don't know if this really deserves five stars but this kind of contemporary fantasy is exactly what I was looking for when I bought the book.

Can't wait for the next one!!

Reminds me a lot of The Stand.

Loved the Jack Reacher “cameos”

Really debated over whether to give this three or four stars. Three because it's so long and so dark and depressing. But four because the mastery of the craft — particularly voice and perspective — is incredible.

Not my typical cup of tea.
