I couldn’t get myself to stop reading it, which is weird giving how long it was, but it’s oddly compelling. I wish I knew what more to say about it, but that’s mostly it–you’re watching each of these groups try to outwit the others, making and breaking treaties, as Holly wanders the earth. The characters delve deeper and deeper into weird strategies that they think might work against the other groups, as Holly wanders back and forth with her bear “husband” (I still don’t get that, although it seemed that in one area they were considered to be holy). He is also charged with avenging a death that takes place early in the novel.
Some of them want her help others not so much. The protagonist finds himself in Manhattan before the revolutionary war and is subject to a spell (again the magic) that allows him to live forever as long as he does not leave Manhattan. Most of those places bear resemblance to one computer game or another–survivalism games, social games–she can’t seem to pick a part that works for her, and there’s a handful of people fighting a battle between the ways of living behind her back. His After We Live Forever is odd–truly strange–and I’m not entirely sure what to say about it.Ī woman named Holly and her bear (husband?) seem to move back and forth between different parts of a world. Some of them are absolutely amazing (Like the Madelyn series) while I dislike others. Forever is fueled by the cruel dictates of history - corruption, exploitation, murder - but it wholeheartedly celebrates human goodness at every turn.My opinion of Ike Hamill’s books varies wildly. Pete Hamill (1935-2020) was a novelist, journalist, editor, and screenwriter. Pete Hamill, the consummate New York newspaperman and novelist whose 15-year career at the New York Post included stints as a columnist and editor, died Wednesday, his family said. "A grand, dark, swashbuckling, yet essentially simple tale about a man's lifelong journey from revenge to mercy, hate to love." Jodi Daynard, Boston Globe Cormac O'Connor plays a role in a slave revolt, the American Revolution, and the great fire of 1835.O'Connor thinks, 'No many people know anything about their own past and New Yorkers are the most amnesiac of all." Forever should change that." Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "New York grows from a village-with wolves stalking its forests - in a town and eventually a city.
This is just one of the solutions for you to be successful. At the same time it is a serious look at what makes a city more than just bricks and mortar." Tom Walker, Denver Post Yeah, reviewing a ebook Forever Pete Hamill could add your near friends listings. "A swashbuckling, ribald tale told with flair and, sometimes, unbridled emotion. Forever is old-fashioned storytelling at a gallop." Washington Post Book World
