Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.
So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.

评分An interesting setting, a shitty story, some cliche plots, quite a few beautiful sentences
评分聽說捲福在本書未齣版前就買下瞭版權,決定將其拍攝成電影。我很好奇到底是怎樣的一本書能有這麼大的魔力。於是找來看看,看之前並沒有很高的期望。但是看完後,感覺一般。語言很簡單,很有錶現力,最後開槍的情景到現在(看完已經有一個多月瞭)還有模糊的印象。隻是整本書都以主人公的愛情作為主綫讓我感覺有點悶,內心活動卻是描寫得不錯,但我覺得對我而言,視角稍微窄瞭點。英語初學者可以拿來讀讀,找找成就感。
