About this eBook

In The Infinite Plan, critically acclaimed, bestselling author Isabel Allende weaves a vivid and engrossing tale of one man's search for love and his struggle to come to terms with a childhood of poverty and neglect. It is the story of Gregory Reeves and his hard journey from L.A.'s Hispanic barrio to the killing fields of Vietnam to the frenetic world of a San Francisco lawyer. Along the way, he loses himself in an illusory and wrongheaded quest, and only by circling back to his roots can he find what he is missing and what he wants more than anything in life.

Ratings and reviews

I understand this was supposed to read like someone telling the story of their life but it wasn't interesting. I don't care about Greg, and he shouldn't have had omniscience with respect to other characters (like Carmen and Dai). I found this tedious, I didn't understand any of the characters, and I didn't care about them. I want all the other Allende I've read and not this.
