The Left Hand of God Audiobook

" Starts out strong, but ends up just another teenage love story where you want to scream at the main character for being a moron. I found a lot of situations where the narrative didn't make sense, or a character did something that was unexpected and this was always explained as "well I dont know why I did that". As thought the author also had no idea what was going on. Things like character development, motivations, and reasoning are pretty light on substance. And all the sections of teenage romance are such an overdone trope that it feels unoriginal and lame. Also, learn how medieval war works before writing about it... Will probably just read a summary of the next two books in the trilogy to see how things work out, not worth "

" This was a frustrating book. I liked yet didn't like it. It threw me, when into his carefully constructed fantasy world, the author introduced 'real' things, such as a race called 'the Norwegians', and a place called Stamford Bridge (an area of London, also the name of Chelsea Football Club's ground). This destroyed the fantasy element for me, but otherwise it's a decent book, although the writing style is a bit, well, clunky! It's an interesting storyline, and I would probably be convinced to read a sequel, as I'm sure there will be one. "

" Add this novel to the list of "how the hell did this ever get published?" "

" ...review to come... "

" I found it really hard to like Cale... He was jus such an assehole! But I loved the story! And I think I started to like not liking him... So I now like him! "

" Beginning was great, end was pretty good, but the author really can't do internal character development very well. That having been said the world was interesting enough for me to forgive that AND the blatant plot theft from English history/Shakespeare. "

" Ripping great story! "

" Was pretty good, you get into the mind of the blokes...will definitely read the next book! "

" I still read teenage books! This one is superb: to fight or not to fight? "

" Good story, liked the feel and flow of writing. Not certain I like how they worked in the religious creativity of the story, but enjoyed it enough that I will read the second book. "

" Great start and such promise but just out of reach of being amazing. As an aside, I greatly enjoyed the author talking to us directly! "

" Pretty good story line. "

" Great characterisation, disappointing plot. "

" Simply a brilliant book! Enough said. "

" A fascinating unique and rich world. Was supposed to last me a week. Lasted 48hours in stead. I found I kept on creeping away from what ever I was doing to find out where the hell it was going. "

" I hate the politics with the Materazzi in this book, but other than that, a great read. "

" enjoyable,still think about it .....so yes enjoyable and good settings "

" This is generally not my type of fiction, but I found myself unable to put the book down. I'm excited to read the next and upcoming book in the trilogy to see how this story will unfold. "

" I saved this hard-cover edition from my local "Big Lots". It sickens me to see good lit. in the "value" bin. Oh well my gain. So far, very very good. Better than I'd of thought of a value buy. "

" The adventure of Thomas Cale is a thrilling story, and you will not be able to put down his and his 'friends' amazing adventure once you've picked it up! "
