Seven Wonders Audiobook

" Reading Seven Wonders is like watching a high octane action movie, including deleted scenes as an additional feature. The characters are complex, it is hard to see who is one which side, truly there is no right or wrong which I loved. However the book did not capture my attention I found my mind wandering, perhaps it was the drawn out plot line at the start or the lack luster ending. I recommend this book if you love superheroes, and action stories that at points get your adrenalin pumping. Its good but not great. "

" What a great concept for a novel. Yet it went off the rails roughly half way through the book. Too many ideas. Too many characters. Almost like Watchmen fan fiction at some points. Ending wasn't remotely worth it. "

" Save your money and find it at your local library. There are too many plot twists and character changes for your suspension of disbelief to survive. "

" Potential squandered. The book started off with a good premise, had an interesting cast of characters. But about half-way through, it switched gears. Characters started acting out of character. The story became disjointed. I wanted to really like this book, but it shot itself in the foot. "

" Novelised comic writing at its best. This reads like an end-to-end major comics event from either of The Big Two, and I'd certainly like to see this serialised in comic form. "

" Even though I'm three quarters of the way done with the book, I can't go any further. I will recommend Christopher's "Empire State" until the day I die, but this one is not money or time well spent. You get plot twists you see coming four miles away. You get weak motivations for huge character transitions. Then I'm supposed to believe a psychic superhero is able to be immune to radiation by chalking it up to...I kid thee not..."somehow"? No. Not going any further. I am hugely disappointed. "

" This was okay. I understand that translating the superhero genre from comic books to novels is really difficult, so I should probably cut the author a bit of a break. The setting and world were quite good, but the characters were quite frankly not well-explored at all. The book shifts all over between having the reader identify with 2-3 different people at any given moment, and even these ostensibly "main" characters are not very relatable people. It also seemed like the author's favorite character was the one whom the book was not actually about... "

" When it comes to fiction, I'm pretty tough to surprise. Seven Wonders did it. Points off because of the pacing--too slow in the beginning and rushed at the end. Points on for an interesting cast. "

" Comic book fun... anxiously awaiting a sequel. "

" Loved Empire State. I liked this book a lot more. Something about superhero books always gets me. For me, he did a great job at making the superheroes actually seem human. Thank god for flawed people. "

" Got confusing toward the end. "

" LOVED the deleted scenes at the end. Great idea. "

" A great take on the superhero relm. Proves that power can corrupt. "
