Tuck Everlasting

I have almost finished the book "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbitt and I would say it was a good read. The author definitely put a lot of thought, feeling, and imagination into the book. This book is mainly in the genre of being immortal and having an eternal life. But is it something good that will change the main characters life forever or something that she can never erase?

The main character young Winnie Foster one day discovers a spring on her family's property whose water grants immortality. Members of the near-by neighbors the Tuck Family, having drunk from the spring, tell Winnie their experiences of watching life go by and never growing older. But is this a good thing? Once you have made yourself immortal, you can never go back. You have to watch the people around you move on with their lives leaving you to suffer behind, but is it suffering? You never grow old, you never die. Is being immortal a blessing or a curse?

This book always leaves me wanting to read more and wanting me to wonder more about the Tuck family. Does Winnie know what she's doing? Or could she make the worst decision of her life? Winnie's decision put me on the edge of my seat.
