Books like The Immortal

\ \ The fish, of course, made me feel kind of horny.\ \ Why I read The Immortal : This was one of my favorite books when I was younger. I wanted to see if it held up with time. How did it go? : The read went great, actually. I really don't remember Josie being such a narcissistic twat, but it makes sense that she was the way that she was with the way the direction of the story headed. If she'd been a selfless saint, the outcome wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying. Oh sure, the book was outdated as hell. Every time one of the love interests was called Ralphy-boy, it made me grin. And I'm pretty sure that this passage would be skewered to death by any reviewer if it were to show up in a present day book :\ \ But I wanted to give him a taste, so that later, when I gave him the real thing, he would want to marry me. Ralph had asked me to marry him after we had sex the first time.\ \ That said, there was one thing that The Immortal had going for it which helped nullify how outdated the book was, and that was a great concept. The recipe for success included one part romance, one part horror, one part vacation adventure, one part bitter rivalry, and one part mythology. I love books which choose to showcase the charms of another country. I also love mythology retold. I also love creative assassination attempts...uh...yeah...what?That (view spoiler)[burger (hide spoiler)]
