I am not typically a historical fiction fan (no reason in particular, I'm just not big on historical in general)...HOWEVER, I am a huge fan of Lisa Scottoline so I definitely wanted to give Eternal a fair shake, and I must say, I was not disappointed in the slightest.
I honestly really got into the storyline following Marco, Elisabetta, and Sandra, and listened with abated breath waiting to see what was going to happen. It was a decently long story (nearly 500 pages, or a little over 19 hours listening), but honestly it didn't feel like it was long at all while going through it!
I am a huge fan of Scottoline's mystery books, but I would not hesitate to pick up any other books of any other genre of hers, after reading Eternal. Scottoline has an impeccable ability to tell a beautiful (or mysterious) story, that keeps the reader attention throughout the entire book! She also has a way of telling an incredibly beautiful, heartfelt story!
Eternal was narrated by some of the best in the business, Cassandra Campbell and Edoardo Ballerini, with a forward by Lisa Scottoline herself. Honestly, I don't think you can find better narrators that Campbell and Ballerini, so brace yourself for listening to one of the best story's you'll hear all year!
Overall, Eternal was an incredibly beautiful and heartfelt story that really touched me and left me reeling for days after reading it! I am so glad that every once in awhile, I step outside of my comfort zone and read something outside of my normal reading, because had I not, I would not have gotten to experience this literary greatness! Well done Lisa Scottoline...WELL DONE!
