5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book and I am 50+, 30 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I found this book by accident in my local library and was immediately captivated by the illustrations, which are absolutely superb. They have a magical quality which matched the whimsical story, and I spent ages just finding all the visual jokes and giggles contained within them. A must-have for collectors of beautiful illustrations, and great fun to read and explore with a child. So I'm buying it. Janet S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic childrens book, 14 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I read this book together with a group of third graders. They liked the story, which provoked some interesting discussions on life and death, and they loved the illustrations, especially when they had to try and identify symbols related to the story. (Note: It's not a long book)

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Live Forever by Colin Thompson, 2 Aug 2009
By M. Follett "I Never Reveal the Endings!" (Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Live Forever (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved everything about it, illustrations and the story. There are so many things to see on each page, and you are "forever" finding new details. I've had the book for three weeks, and I pick it up every few days. I have only just noticed Peter running through the blue and white garden, and the crushed paint tube which resembles a sleeping crescent moon (on the red lacquered shelves).

It is a magical story about a library that comes to life at night, and a young boy's quest to find a book that has been missing for 200 years.

It is a truly excellent book, and a modern day classic. Adults and Children of all ages are sure to love it. We did, and our ages range from seven to eighty two!

In fact, I've enjoyed it so much that I'm going to buy the hardback version too.
