Review title: 'Tis better to have read it late, than not at all
Product review: One of the great things about being a father has been reading to my daughter all those books that I had most regretted not having read when a child. One of the children's books that I most desired to read was TUCK EVERLASTING.Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this as much as I had hoped. Primarily this was because I felt so little sympathy for the title characters. The plot is simple: a frontier family in early nineteenth century America accidentally drinks from a fountain of eternal life, and are cursed with living forever. Or, at least, it is explained in the story that it is a curse. The difficulty I felt with the plot was with the family. For these people, since they really didn't seem to have much in the way of lives to begin with, eternal life really would be a curse. (...)As the novel stands, my only reaction is: Lord, I wouldn't want to live their life for even ten years, let alone an eternity.
