The Golden City Audiobook

" This trilogy started out so wonderfully, and I feel like each successive book has been a little less wonderful. Maybe it's because there's a decrease in action, maybe it got too philosophical, I'm not really sure. This is still an okay book--I didn't dislike it. But it doesn't live up to the promise of The Traveler, not even close. "

" twelve hawks had a great idea for this series. unfortunately, these books are the author telling the reader about his great idea, rather than actually executing it. reads like someone's index-card references. I kept reading, hoping to find some redeeming quality. no avail. "

" Having a difficult time reviewing this one. Like the other two in this series, it's a real page-turner, but I found myself caring less and less about the characters as I went on. The action continues right up until.. it doesn't. Not super well plotted, and everyone turns into broad caricatures. A disappointing ending, but I still enjoyed reading it. "

" Great series although the first one was the best. "

" Very science fiction. At times, I got caught up in all the science fiction part, but for the most part I enjoyed this book. Sadly it could happen, at least some of it. The ending was perfect, not really an ending at all. "

" A satisfying conclusion to a great trilogy. "

" Not brilliant but read it for the closure of the series (not that the ending gave closure....) "

" I think Twelve Hawks just wanted to get this third book done to finish his contract... "

" Not quite as solid as the first two, but still a good read. I feel like he could have done more, possibly even added more depth and a fourth book. "

" This book was a big disappointment. The best of the three is "The Traveller". The other two are just OK, with the third one being a copout. "

" John Twelve Hawks, brings to close this series that takes place in an eerily familiar world. The Evergreen foundation makes an attempt to gain control of the world through manufactured "attacks". If you're a fan of the Traveler series, you wont be disappointed. "

" It had to end. Is there going to be another book? Who cares but I hope that they make a film of this series. "

" Better then dark river not as good has The Traveler "

" Aside from being a bit pedantic and obvious with the messages - it was still a good, fast, un-put-downable book. I recommend the trilogy and the first of the series was the best for me - but after that you must read the final two. I really enjoyed it. "

" You would be better off reading the first book (Traveler) and then convincing yourself that the second and third books were never written. "

" Overall better than the 2nd book, but in end the series was a bit disapointing considering how good the first book was. The ending was quite satisfieing though. "

" weakest of the trilogy. dragged. main character gone. sort of limbo. kinda bummed about it. "

" Not a very satisfactory end to the trilogy. "

" Awesome conclusion to this trilogy...Chilling example about what life can be like in the future...hooked to the Vast Machine with no freedom and monitored constantly by big brother. Makes one think... "

" If the book is about the necessity to preserve the freedom of the mind, to let the people be creative, to allow for the visionaries, I prefer it if there's at least some creativity in the book itself. Otherwise, what exactly creativity are we defending?This one was way too predictable. "

" Lots of overtones: spiritual, political. Would rather focus on the adventure than the not-so-subtle messages. It was ok. "

" Not as good as the first two, but I liked the ending and how it delved a little deeper into the other Realms. "

" It was obvious while reading this book that John T. Hawks had already made his statement with the previous two books in the series but needed some kind of conclusion to the trilogy. This last instalment contained nothing new and read more like an epilogue than a conclusion. "

" Long strange series. Maintains tension but conspiracy theory aspects were excessive imho. "
