I'm just on the verge of liking this, but it is a little too generic in its exploration of immortality and small town paranoia. On a page by page basis, it is engaging enough, but while it toys around with some of the interesting aspects of immortality, it seems content to let the story be driven by some real unoriginal and heavy-handed villains, while the heroes don't really have much going for them.

I'll give the second volume a chance to win me over when it comes out. ( )
