Almost Eternity

by Ron Clark

Almost Eternity is the story of a very special man’s life and his search for the meaning of his existence. He is immortal and has been alive for 6,000 years. Because of his longevity, he is rich beyond rich. His 6,000-year-old photographic memory makes him the smartest person alive as well. Our hero commands a financial empire next to none and uses his power to initiate vigilante justice as he sees fit. He has been many people in history and tells their stories in flashbacks as he interacts with Lewis and Clark, Leonardo Da Vinci, the Pharaoh of the Great Pyramids, the Wright Brothers, Nicholas Tesla, King Arthur, Robert Oppenheimer, Hitler, Bing Crosby and Thomas Jefferson, among others. There are troubling forces at work that unravel the mystery of his existence and lead him to his true surprising identity.

[Bryan Hobbs · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I thought that the prose was fine, the real problem I had with this book was that it was aptly named for how long it would take to get to the action...Almost Eternity. I was 50+ pages into the book and most of what had happened was the main character had gone to a hot dog stand. I started to try to read it again, but it was the same. I just wanted to give honest feedback on the book...again, not bad writing...just needs to have a hook into the reader a little faster.
