Jake Ransom And The Howling Sphinx (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Just as the first book of the series, this was a great adventure to enjoy. Although it is intended for younger readers, it is still enjoyable for any reader. As I mentioned on my review on the preceding book, Jake Ransom, and the Skull King's shadow, I do enjoy reading a lighthearted PG rated books once in awhile, for both purposes of writing and also it is refreshing to read a book that is focused mostly on the entertainment aspects of the story telling, rather than just the shock value. I definitely recommend this book, and not only for young readers. I call this either my respirator book or my asthma book. I got into it so much that I gasped off and on all through the book when exciting things happened. I rarely gasp when I read because my mind is usually spinning. But the Howling Sphinx was so good, I hated to see it end. I know this is youth fiction or maybe even teenage fiction, but I love it just the same. MORE MORE MORE James Rollins. When is the next adventure coming out !!
What do You think about Jake Ransom And The Howling Sphinx (2010)?
Once again James Rollins did a great job. A young adult novel that adults can get into.

A decent sequel that continues a story without being too repetitive or dull.

Good rollicking adventure story for boys, a la Rick Riorden.
