Gideon's Sword Audiobook

" If this had been the first Preston/Childs book I had read I would have never picked up another one. I glad it was not- I love their Pendergast books! But I will not be following this new series; Gideon is an uninteresting character and the authors seem to have gone to a Dan Brown seminar: short chapters, little exposition. Really dull. "

" My first book by these authors...a wild ride. Looking forward to the next "Gideon's Crew" novel. Will also be looking at other books by them. "

" This is more like a 2.5 stars. I'm still trying to find a book by this pair that I can rave about. "

" Juvenile but not as bad as I expected. The situations are cartoon-ish, the characters come and go and are not more than a name and a gender, but somewhere in the middle the story started to build up nicely and some of the Preston-Child charm started to kick in. The description of Hart Island is vintage P-C. "

" I read somewhere that if a gun gets introduced in a book, it better be used by the end. In this case, if a sword was involved at all, I totally missed it. Decent read. I like Pendergast much more. "

" Love this book. The authors have created another fascinating charcter in Gideon Crew and I am anxious to see where they take him. I don't want to spoil it for those who have yet to read it, but I have to say: skiploaders? Brillant! I blew through this in day and a half. "

" Preston & Child haven't disappointed me yet, one of their best works so far. Got through it in only a day. "

" This was really good! A new series from a pair of authors - I think I've read everything they've done together - that doesn't disappoint. This is the beginning of a new series for them. Can't wait till the next one. "

" Quite unbelievable but entertaining non-the-less. "

" Book -- fast, fast read but kind of foolish. Gideon becaomes a super hero overnight and the killing is unreal. I do not believe that I will be following Gideon. Sorry P/C "

" Not my favourite book by these two, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. "

" We listened to this as we were traveling. It was okay but it did entice me to read another book by these authors. "

" sorely disappointing. shallow main character. the plot was conventional. after agent Pendergast, this is very disappointing. "

" higly unlikely but good entertainmant "

" I am, yet again, impressed with Mr. Preston and Mr. Child. I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Gideon Crew. This was a nice change from the Pendergast novels. I look forward to the next Crew novel. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Have read otghers byh Preston & Child and all were very good. Will have to check to see if they write more with the main character as I would like to read more. Good action and kept my interest. "

" New series by the authors of the Pendergast books - nice solid start, lots of breezy action and adventure, I will definitely read the next one. "

" I liked it but I liked the Pedergast novels better. It was exciting and had interesting characters like the Nodding Crane. Gideon is no Aloysius but he is just as good with disguises. I plan on reading more of the Gideon series and maybe I'll change my mind. "

" Maybe the authors need to work through a few more adventures to really flesh out the main character. I felt like a lot of the story was just summarizing what was happening rather than getting to some action. "

" Disappointing. If I hadn't enjoyed so many other Preston/Child novels I wouldn't have gone past the first 100 pages of this one. The characters are flat, the action is far from thrilling and the conclusion is unsatisfying. I won't be continuing with this series. "

" Not as engaging as a Pendergast novel - but I do like the new character Gideon Crew and can definitely see some good potential there. And it's a better book than anything either of them have written solo. "

" So far, so good.I really enjoyed Gideon Crew and the ending set up the next book without missing a paragraph. I'll be waiting. "

" I don't remember what happened in the end. "

" Good read, but the "Joe vs the Volcano plot device is a bit silly. "

" Preston/Child are very good writers of suspense. This book indtroducing Gideon Crew is good. I found it lacked the punch of the Pendergast but that doesn't stop me from wanting to see what new adventures await Gideon. "

" I found this book not up to their usual writing - however, to be fair, I love their Agent Pendergast series! I have also enjoyed their earlier books like Relic and Reliquary. I am looking forward to their latest book! "
