Every once in a while a book comes along that touches my soul. The Immortalists is one of those books. The novel is beautifully written and a phenomenal literary work. As a reader, I was transported and made a part of the journey with the Gold siblings: Simon, Klara, Daniel, and Varya -- and what a wondrous adventure! I mean think about it, would you live your life differently if you knew the exact date of your death? Pretty deep stuff, right? If you read this book you will find out how this vital piece of information affects each of the siblings and the choices they make throughout their lives. The book is cleverly broken up into four sections, so I really got to know and understand each of the sibling's unique personalities and perspectives. With all the positives I write about the book, I also understand this book is not for everyone. Some of the language and scenes might make a few readers uncomfortable - thankfully, not moi. Benjamin is a hell of a writer and I definitely agree with all the hype surrounding this majestic book. If you are looking for something unique and imaginative I hope you consider this extraordinary novel. Simon, Klara, Daniel, and Varya will remain with me for a long time.
