Interesting read once again. Though as I stated before in my review, with the death of Thorvaldsen I lost the drive, it takes me too many days to finish the book. And it might be probably, because I need a break from a series for a while, read something different and then come back and finish it....
**ฉบับภาษาไทย - นิยายตัดไปตัดมาในเหตุการ์ต่างสถานที่กันบ่อยมาก จนรู้สึกว่าบ่อยเกินไป- มีข้อมูลประวัติศาสตร์ที่เกี่ยวกับศาสนาคริสต์ ยิว เยอะเกิน จนไม่ค่อยสนุก The story is good (although you are asked to swallow a lot)The writing is kind of weak and that gets in the way.The characters just come at...
The conspiracy fiction attracts my attention since the first day it was released n the UK. Undoubtedly, the identity of Elizabeth I intrigues me strongly. I have been in the Westminster Abbey more than three times and I admire the tomb where Queen of England and Queen of Scots are lying together....
Terrible. Every chapter, 'and then, and then...' Tedious. Definitely not his best and a bit of a boring historical mystery.
This thing was not very good. Fortunately enough I bought it for .99$ on the Apple iBookstore. Just wanted to see if it would be possible to read something on my iPhone. It actually was pretty easy to do despite being such a small screen. As for the story it was really short. I'm sure that t...
So… Another Cotton Malone thriller… a shortie… This is one of Steve Berry’s novellas… Always a fun quick read… Using some alternate history Berry draws us in quickly with scandalous and salacious intrigue. While he could have pulled this novella in to a full on book… the plot was defiantly meaty ...
As with most short stories being released these days by the likes of Berry & Lee Child, this was a solid filler to tide fans over between full-length novels and give somewhat of a lead-in to the next novel. There's so much about the history of civilization in our world that remains mysterious, a...
Despite this only being a short story it has the typical traits of a full length novel from Steve Berry. A well thought out plot and some well crafted characters lead the reader into a world of intrigue. Along the way we meet a shadowy Austrian, the Israeli Mossad and from the Magellan Billet the...
This wasn't up to the standards that I've come to expect from Steve Berry. I know it was meant as a teaser/tie-in to his novel "The Columbus Affair", so I'm willing to give it a bit of leeway but, while it was successful in introducing the protagonist of the new novel, it also focused a lot more...
This is a short and quick read that ties in and provides a back-story to The Jefferson Key.Jonathan Wyatt, former colleague of Cotton Malone, who he blames for destroying his career, discovers some secrets about Hitler’s hidden bounty and something about what happened to Eva Braun & Martin Bornma...
The Amber Room is a much like the kind of tale I write – an international thriller with an everyman protagonist (in this case, an everyman and everywoman) who gets by with whatever native intelligence and wits he/she brings to the party. It was Steve Berry’s first published novel, one of three he...
Here's the deal: if you hated the DaVinci Code for its content, you'll probably really hate this one. Me, I know it's fiction (like the DaVinci Code), so the content didn't really bother me. But I think I was a wee bit disappointed in the story; I guess I expected something a little more earth-sh...
JAMES PENNY’S NEW IDENTITYJames Penny’s New Identity tells the story of war veteran James Penny, who is laid off from his job after 17 years. Penny acts out on his anger at being fired and is now on the run from the cops. He meets a precarious army police officer that befriends him, and helps him...
Okay. Here's the deal. If you go to Amazon.com, you're going to see this book picked apart by people who judge it because it doesn't conform to their ideas about Christianity, and because it offers a new way to look at the Catholic Church, etc., etc., etc. So my advice: if you're a devout Christi...
Like Dan Brown, Steve Berry is a guilty pleasure kind of read for me. And for the record, I don’t care much about historical accuracy (or inaccuracy, in Brown’s case,) I just like alternate history and the way these authors spin their stories.I’ve read only 2 other books by Berry so far: The Ambe...
What if the biblical basis for the Israeli state was incorrect? What if the real evidence for the creation of the Jewish state was in western Saudi Arabia? What if the ancient translations that led to the writing of the Old Testament from old Hebrew and Greek were open to an interpretation that...
