The Book of the Dead (Abridged) Audiobook

" More about agent Pendergast and his relationship with his brother Diogenese. excellent read. "

" Like other Preston-Child books, elements of the historical and spiritual realms added a uniqueness to the plot. A well-written, interesting read. "

" Agent Pendergast has to get out of prison to stop his brother from following through on his plan to scare a lot of people to death. "

" Haven't read the others in the series, but this book suffers from a crucial (and, sadly, typical) problem...the Diabolically Clever Antagonist who turns out to be Dumb as F***. Why go to the trouble of setting up a satisfyingly evil character to turn him/her/it into an idiotic hack in the final 50 pages? First three quarters of the book--3.5 to 4 stars. Last 75 pages--1.5 to 2 stars. Three stars averages that out, but it feels a lot more disappointing. "

" While I did not learn anything specific from this book it was a good read that was allowed me to visit a different world, with similarities to our own. I originally thought this was just going to be Relic with mummies...but there was much more to it that as whet my appetite and I can't wait for the next in the series to hit mass-market. "

" The Aloysius Pendergast series is entertaining. A relic of a character. "

" This is book 3 in the series and it was awesome. I read it all in 2 days. Great book. "

" "Edge-of-your-seat, can't-put-down" thriller - "

" Great story..I love all the people that unfold in the story lines. It kept me on the edge of my chair. The strange Mr. Pendergast, Nora, and William Smithback along with Detective D'Agosta make these books a great find. "

" Too pretentious, all characters are either too evil or saints. The story is predictable and the main character is some kind of super human. "

" This was a departure from my typical reading choices. I listened to this as an audio book and it was a "page turner." A fun and entertaining book to keep my interest on long car trips. "

" This is book 7 in the Pendergast series and the 3rd in the Diogenes trilogy. Has some important information about how Diogenes came to be. Will this be the last of him? "

" The conclusion to a well-written Diogenes Trilogy. Constance Greene is just awesome in this book! "

" the plot gets kinda of ridicoulus in the end "

" the book is a little too graphic for me; still wondering how it is going to play out... "

" This is a very awesome book "

" A very different Pendergrast novel, set on a boat. "

" A little deeper insight into the character Pendergast. "

" This book just kept me on the edge of my seat. I hated to put it down. "

" Entertaining, fun and full of interesting characters. I just wish I had realized this was part of a series or trilogy. Now I have to read the books that proceed this one. It wasn't necessary to read the others before this one but there are some character stories I would love to know more about. "

" Very satisfying wrap-up to the Diogenes trilogy. Can't wait for more Pendergast in May!! "

" Omg! Pendergast is THE MAN!!!!!! "

" Seventh in the Pendergast series. Love these books - really great escape reading. "

" After waiting a year to find a copy of this book, it was totally worth the wait. I think Agent Pendergast is a fantastic character and this book revealed some interesting facts about his background I never would have expected. Preston and Child make a great writing team. "

" Très bon livre avec une intrigue bien prenante. La fin est surprenante à souhait. Un bon thriller qui mélange tous les ingrédients de base. A conseiller! "

" Audio Book. Agent Pendergast breaks out of prison with the help of D'Agosta and EES just in time to stop Diogenes. Diogenes was disguised as the museum curator when they opened the tomb of Senef. He had the exhibit rigged to put on a sound and light sh "

" I found it to be a bit too jumpy for my tastes. Miss one little, minuscule detail and you could be lost for the rest of the book. Additionally the slightly paranormal-ness of the Pendergast family was simply odd. "

" Yeah, not my cup of tea. I couldn't wait to be done. "

" I really liked this one. Some parts were very intense. I thought it would be about Egypt, but it isn't, just the setting in a recreated tomb in a museum. But it was still a good read. "

" Murder mysteries are not usually my genre, but I did find this book interesting. A mix of CIA/psychological thriller with some rare cultural and literary references, the storyline was interesting and fast-moving, though definitely got a bit macabre for my taste. "

" Sorry Rick, I read these out of order. I liked this one but I know when I read the ones that came before I will appreciate it even more. "

" This was an amazing conclusion to the Pendergast "Diogenes" trilogy. If you want background into Pendergast's life as a child, this is the book to read. "

" Fast paced, lots of action, good plot - enjoyable "

" Weer een geweldig verhaal van dit schrijversduo. De ondertussen gekende personages in de Pendergast-boeken maken hier wel wat mee! Ik vond het wel goed in mekaar gestoken. "
