The book is a little long; but not overly so. There's an interesting mix of science and thriller. Everything moves along well until the last few pages. Jeremy Logan has a tiny part in this book; and his "theory" at the end of the book ruins the whole story for me. I think Child was aiming for s...
Oh, I wanted to like this book. I wanted to like it so much. Jeremy Logan, a history profesor and a self-named enigmologist, signs on to help with a project. At first he knows little to no details, but soon he discovers he's heading to Egypt, not to the pyramids of Egypt, but to a remote, wild, ...
This book kept me hooked until the end. Then, I was like... What the fuck just happened. Well, I was thinking that throughout the entire book, but at the end especially. I had to google what the fuck the ending meant. I asked my friend, who recommended the book to me, what the fuck was with this ...
Sometimes I get tired of reading deep books. They take so much focus and introspection that eventually... I start to crave something more action-focused, more thrill, less thoughts. Due to this need I just picked this book fter doing rather extensive search at the library on their computer about ...
Utopia is a great techno-thriller about a day gone horribly wrong at a futuristic amusement park of the same name. The whole book takes place of the course of a single day, so there's plenty of details and not much seems to be glossed over. (Pay attention to those details, too; some of them may p...
Jeg fik endelig taget mig sammen til at læse bogen af de to herrer Douglas Preston og Lincoln Child som jeg har haft liggen i x-antal år på min bogreol som paperback. Fandt først for sent ud af at det var bog 6 i Aloysious Pendergast serien og bog 1 Diogenes serien. Det var et irritations moment...
Can you imagine paying $25,000 to find your perfect match? There are so many online dating websites like okCupid, eHarmony, POF, and only lord knows what else out there. In Death Match, Dr. Richard Silver is the owner of the company Eden, Inc. While the work of Eden is nothing less than extraordi...
I'll be damned! This silly book turned out to be one big, over the top, cheesy, load of fun! I enjoyed it quite a bit. I’ve read some reviews where people called The Relic a mystery horror (and I guess in some ways it is) but I tend to look at it as a crazy, disaster, monster film. If you took T...
"Oh oh come take my hand. We're riding out tonight to case the promised land. Woah oh oh, thunderhead, oh thunderhead, oh thunderhead."Ok, not quite Bruce Springsteen, but it was in my head the whole time I read Thunderhead. This is really one of my favorite styles of books. Action/Adventure with...
Full review/Цялото ревю - click, clickСледпрочитно:Това е книгата ми с най-ниска оценка от прочетените от поредицата досега и, признавам, вина за това има и фактът, че не четях подред. Не, не ми попречи толкова факта, че знаех какво става по-нататък. Ще обясня.Романът започна страхотно, съвсем в...
I picked this up in an Audible sale for cheap which makes me feel better. I've quite liked a few of the Preston/Child books but this one just pushed a little too far into crapness.It's a nice idea though feels fairly familiar by now - scientists working on secret virus, really deadly, etc etc, t...
I feel like all my reviews for the Pendergast series are starting to sound the same, I'm gushing as if in love about how fantastic the books are but its still true, this story is phenomenal and it makes you want to read another and another, this could easily have thirty volumes and I would still ...
Cabinet of Curiosities features many of the hallmarks of a Preston and Child novel. First, the lead is FBI Agent Pendergast. Special Agent Pendergast has three things that no FBI Special Agent in the history of the FBI has ever had: 1.) a fortune, 2.) the ability to pick and choose both his assig...

Este volume constitui a sequela direta de A Relíquia, dezoito meses após os fatídic...
Okay, this was a tough one. From what I’ve read so far and in my own personal opinion, within Preston/Child’s series about FBI agent extraordinaire Aloysius Pendergast the books are either very good (like, for example, Still Life With Crows) or not good at all (Relic). Interestingly enough, “The ...
This was another hand-me-down airport novel donated from the lovely mother. Here's the deal with Deep Storm: while reading it, I felt super conflicted. It was written really well, the story was interesting enough, and the plot moved at a whiplash-breakneck-pace, yet I couldn't have wanted to put ...

Logan parked in the lot behind the building, then—leaning into the howling wind—went through the front entrance and made a series of inquiries. “That’s him over there,” a second-floor nurse said five minutes later. “By the window.” “Thanks,” Logan replied. “How did you say you’re related again?” ...
