Meet David Black, a young family doc whose solo practice has spectacularly tanked. So has his marriage; the two are not unrelated. His best friend, Oz, wants him to reinvent himself, offering their fellow Boulderites everything they need to live forever (or at least long enough for Oz to profit and retire). David balks. At first. What follows is a romp of a read, a comedy with heart - from the characters who staff the new clinic to pursuit by pheromone-crazed wildlife, a real live cliff-hanger, and the love that, in the end, might just save him. Visit the exotic New-Age mecca of Boulder, Colorado, and get to know-- David, hapless idealist and reluctant hero, Junie Blanche, Ph.D. candidate and New Orleans immigrant, Oz Garcia, entrepreneur and Master of Bad Habits, Shriana, organic beauty and trophy wife aspirant, Don Gilmore, hypochondriac and hemp magnate, Cyrus P. Flint, slowly expiring longevity scientist, Miss Paula and Dr. Biggs, fearsomely muscular HGH hawkers, Beatriz Hanacanahuolipalipalulu, Kava Kava smuggler... ...and, of course, the happy but complicated staff of the Forever Clinic: Dr. Quinn Quinn, former health guru and cross-dressing fugitive, Nancy Ouvenstrasser, lonely masseuse and closet intellectual, Adeline and Thomas Thinna, starving diet & fitness pros, and Howie Krishna, Yogitation instructor and actual Real Thing. (Warning: while many local statutes prohibit the sale of How To Live Forever as a wellness and longevity guide, there remains a modest danger that the reader might inadvertently absorb one if not more aspects of its radically nonradical 'Reasonable Approach to Semi-Optimal Health'.)… (meer)

David Black is a family doctor with a sense of professional and personal ethics, a person who puts his patients above his profits. This may be a rare thing. When his family practice begins to fail, his business manager proposes something cutting edge (and poorly researched) — Human Growth Hormone Injections.

This is not the kind of book I normally pick up, but I grabbed it during a free Kindle promo. It's cute—kind of a light, romantic comedy. The title question led me to expect a Sci-Fi element, but it is a bit misleading because the question is never answered.

The characters and story are fun and engaging. There are more typos than I like to see, but the writing is very good overall. ( )
