Durante los trabajos de excavación para construir un nuevo bloque de apartamentos en Manhattan, los obreros hacen un descubrimientoe speluznante: los restos de treinta y seis personas torturadas y mutiladas, víctimas de un asesino que aterrorizó a la ciudad de Nueva York a finales del siglo XIX. ...
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 ...
Opinião no blog http://howtoliveathousandlives.blogsp...Douglas Preston e Lincoln Child formam uma dupla imbatível no que concerne a construção de um bom thriller, capaz de prender o leitor até às últimas páginas! Este volume constitui a sequela direta de A Relíquia, dezoito meses após os fatídic...
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...
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 ...
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'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...
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...
I have rated this book so low because it feels like it was not written by the authors themselves. The characters of Pendergast and Constance are just a shade inconsistent with previous books. There are several chapters that elaborate on meaningless plot filler (such as why D'Agosta cooks for Hayw...
I was pretty disappointed with this book in the Pendergast series. I will probably read the next book in order to find out more about Helen, Pendergast's wife. The story dragged a little bit towards the middle of the book and I could not believe the mistakes that Pendergast was making. I could no...
It's difficult, and rather taxing, to try and create a review for a novel such as this. For having read the entire breadth of the Pendergast series for the past couple of months or so, I'm finding it hard to believe that I'll be moving on to other tales after this. After being a part of a charact...
