The Lady in Blue Audiobook

" Usually I love these sort of historical mysteries, but this one was difficult to follow with less than engaging characters. "

" I barely made it through this book. "

" There are a lot of twist and turns within this book. It is a great study on how one thing can effect many. The ending seemed rushed, almost not thought out well. "

" History and fiction combined. Very interesting concepts but completely nutty with religion "

" I very much enjoyed the history and subject matter. The writing, itself, was mediocre. "

" I did enjoy this book with its historical and scientific playing about with old legends of a Spanish nun "bilocating" - appearing in the Americas to preach to the natives before the arrival of any missionaries. One gets a sense of the religious order rivalries at work in the Spanish Royal Court that may have led to the concoction of such stories to fiddle the conversion stats in favour of Franciscans over Benedictines etc. Or maybe it was real? An entertaining read. "

" I enjoyed this book right up until the last chapter when the author took the easy way out and created an absurd solution to the mystery. Rats. "

" Javier Sierra out did himself with The Lady in Blue. The purpose for writing the book alone was thrilling let alone the writing style. I enjoyed every part of this book and highly recommend it. "

" This book was just OK. It probably won't stay in my collection. "

" This story had potential but it seemed like the author wasn't sure where to go with the story. I honestly got a little bored sometimes. "

" Another historical/religious/mystery/thriller by Sierra. Very well done. "

" We just met for book discussion and the general consensus was that we had a struggle to finish it. It was interesting with all of the history combined with the present day situations. "

" Dan Brown meets Paulo Coehlo. Not bad. Abrupt ending. "

" Time travel, conspiracy theories, the bureaucracy of the Roman Catholic Church, angels, miracles, romance (no, wait, no romance...), this novel has it all. Sub-plots occuring on multiple continents, in different centuries, provide an interesting read. "

" It was too similar to Angels and Deamons and there were aspects of the book that were not correct (Native American history, culture, etc.), so I just couldn't believe it. "

" I liked the format of chapters that alternated time and point of view. I thought the format did an excellent job of building the story towards what I had hoped would be an intriguing ending. Instead the ending was disappointing in its attempt to be clever. "

" Misterio novelado muy interesante. "

" Not as good as his Last Supper, but interesting in the historical events. The climax came rather suddenly and then it was over. Felt like he might have been rushed to get it to the publisher. Too bad, cuz it had potential. "

" A mystery-suspense that deals with angels, apparitions, and intrigue in the Catholic Church. Not an easy read, but for me worth it in the end. "

" I wasn't particularly fond of this book. Someone else may be interested in the saints etc. of the Catholic Church. It jumped back and forth to 1300's to present day. I got lost a couple of times. "

" Mistérios do passado e do presente, lendas ou realidade, o caminho para a verdade é emocionante! "

" Four stories meld together to create one story. I like the premise of the book, but it's just not written very well(translation problems?). I think McGowan's and Brown's and Berry's books with the religious mysteries are more entertaining. "

" Usually I love these sort of historical mysteries, but this one was difficult to follow with less than engaging characters. "

" Well done! A nice translation too! "

" Javier Sierra out did himself with The Lady in Blue. The purpose for writing the book alone was thrilling let alone the writing style. I enjoyed every part of this book and highly recommend it. "

" Another historical/religious/mystery/thriller by Sierra. Very well done. "

" Took awhile to get in to but enjoyed it. Listen to the authors' notes at the very end that discusses how the book came to be written. Interesting in that the story is based on "reported" events. "

" I have an advanced reading copy. Excellent writing but the davinci-code-like story sucks...mostly because it is about the Catholic apropriation of sacred Indigenous myths. "

" stay away from this book. it's the lamest thing i ever read. literary technique is horrible. writing style is just so blah. (no offense to the author) "
