I found it really depressing too. I get the idea that "immortality sucks" but a lot of that is being off-cycle with almost everyone else in society. If all your friends and town were immortal too, would it be so bad? Would you really regret it if you had friends and family to spend all eternity with ?

[tabaqui]

For some people, that would be literal hell.
And I can't remember - are they *really* immortal, or if you cut their heads off or burn them to ash, do they die?

Most 'immortality' has a loop hole.

I think people need to learn more from dogs. A dog would be perfectly happy living forever.

The one guy in the book who liked his immortality did make a pretty convincing argument for it. I think I was hoping Winnie would drink the water when I read it for the first time. But afterwards I suddenly realized if you never died, you'd still be around for the end of the world, and eventually the end of the universe, floating around in freezing nothingness forever. So in the end it wasn't the book's points about seeing your mortal loved ones grow old and die and having keep moving and change your identity that convinced me I really wouldn't want to live forever. That I could deal with.

On another note, I hate how you can't talk about this book anymore without it being made all about how creepy it was that the guy told Winnie wait till she was his age to drink the water so they could get married. I get it, everything's problematic, but when we read it in class 20 years ago nobody's mind was corrupted. Stop derailing everything already.

You should watch it's such a beautiful day.

I think this book made me cry, but mostly because she didn't drink the water and left Jesse by himself.

You're not alone in being a gloomy kid, OP. I was a bit morbid myself, asking folks if they'd rather suffer a particular kind of pain or die (I would tell them dying is better, as there is no pain once you've died).

Now that I'm older, the brevity of our lives and how lovely they can be/how much I wish I could live many lives as myself to do all that I want with those that I love...but dying is important too. Damn it, op. Now I want to cry a bit. Such desires for life, this secret gives me.

It's funny, even when I was younger I was never particularly attracted to the idea of immortality. Losing physical/mental faculties while growing old is scary, yes, but other than that I'm pretty okay with dying. If we could have the same lifespan but still be physically fit until the end, I'd be 100% happy.

I loved this book, though. Hurt so good.

...this is jogging memories, especially when someone mentioned the name Jesse. I think I may have read this book as a kid? Or parts of it?

Is there a scene in this book where someone accidentally gets shot and doesn't die?

[feotakahari]

Probably. I never finished it, but it's mentioned that bullets pass through immortals "like water."
