What The Reviewers Say
... [an] absorbing story.
Immortality, Inc. isn’t always easy to follow: It’s stuffed with a dizzying array of the names of people, corporations, and projects, shifts in point of view, and leaps forward and backward in time. Readers might also find Mr. Walter’s writing style distracting. He does offer some nice turns of phrase.
...a readable tour of the search for immortality through the eyes of some leading personalities involved.
... [an] easy-to-read, journalistic work.
