Immortal

I enjoy historical fiction, and this book does not disappoint in that regard. Vivid descriptions of Renaissance Italy, historical figures like Leonardo Da Vinci, and a gripping hook – a main character who has an unnaturally long lifespan.

The beginning of the book caught my attention pretty quickly – the author did a great job introducing the main character, Luca Bastardo. He's a very likeable character as well, so the need to see what happens to him, and how he handles himself in the situations that arise, kept my attention through what I thought was a disappointing middle section of the book. But the climax and conclusion came full-swing, so the book didn't disappoint. I read it in a weekend and enjoyed myself.
