The Immortalists truly had an interesting premise. That being said, the execution wasn't quite a clean as it could have been. I feel as though the author spent too much time on unimportant aspects and not enough on the predictable plot. Despite this, each story about each character is indeed rather interesting, and that was what kept me reading this book and ready to learn more. I just wish that Benjamin had focused a bit more on the substance of her book.
There is a very poetic quality to this book that makes it a fascinating read whether or not the book itself is good, which is where I had some issues. I found that the characters weren't exceptionally interesting or made me want to learn more about them.
Overall, I would recommend this to someone looking for literary fiction with an interesting premise.
