The Lost Goddess Audiobook

" I really did'nt care for The Lost Goddess, even though there was the essence of a good story. I simply don't care for Knox writing style. Although the second half of the book was better, I had to struggle to get through the first half. He seems to believe that if one adjective or adverb is good, several would be better and his use of them ranged from florid to totally meaningless. Then there was the pretentious diction - guess we were supposed to be impressed with his perspicacity and erudition. Others seem to have liked it OK, just wasn't my cup of tea. "

" It was ok for me. Probably not as good as the first three. I got a little confused by the theory they were trying to solve, so it was hard for me to really get excited about the story. "

" I was frustrated with this book. I found myself distracted from the story many times by word choice. In the first 50 pages or so, we had oleaginous, plangent, fecundity, stridulating and karst. I guess he likes his thesaurus, but for me it was just random and awkward word choice. The story was interesting enough, but the characters weren't as fleshed out as I would have liked. One character...ah, continued to ah, say "ah" just about every other...ah, sentence. Another distraction. I do think it'll give us some interesting things to discuss at book club. "

" There are things that make you go, "What the haaaiiiilll?" This is one of them. I kept going and I was so confused. To futuristically strange for me. "

" If there was a 2 1/2 rating, I think I might haven chosen it for this book. It's a decent throw-away read and better than many similar books. It's kind of an Indiana Jones suspend-belief-adventure/Robin Cook-medical-horror with an archeological basis and religious undertones. "

" nice, light read. good twist, poorly finished "

" Kind of muddy ending the plot wasn't even clear to me. "

" If you are an atheist, this book will make you really angry. I can't say more without spoilers, but just be warned. "

" I have read many books by this author and this was my least favorite. Slow, unbelievable plot and circumstances. "

" Heck, this book is going to annoy some people. It kept me riotously entertained right up to the extremely unexpected ending. A firework of a book: it could blow up in your face. "

" Needed something utterly mindless and this fit the bill nicely. It took about a day to read, which was a good thing because I didn't want to be seen reading it. "

" Abandoned- I just couldn't get into it, then after reading four pages of the characters treading through water, literally, I gave up. I was maybe half-way through? It gets a second star because the subject itself was interesting, I just didn't care for the book. "

" Compelling stuff from Mr Knox - there's a nice atmosphere to the writing style - leaps and bounds from the Genesis Secret - and signs that here is a man showing a command of literature beyond the usual genre writer. "

" This was a really nice blend of archaeology, history, and, surprisingly, philosophy. I didn't find the ending to be great, but it was a nice, fast paced, somewhat smart read. Similar to David Gibbins. "

" Not going to be on my list of favorites. If this is Tom Knox most exciting book yet, I won't be reading the others. Too bad because the premise was promising. I didn't make it past page 60. "

" Despite being bored through much of this book I made it all the way to what I assume was the final scene before throwing it away. I don't want to know how it ends and don't think the book warrants even this much comment... "

" Strange and gripping story. Some sections were a little graphic. Not too bad but still chill inspiring. "

" Like all Tom Knox books, this one had a very complex storyline. It took several historical facts and built a conspiracy theory on top. Some parts were a bit far-fetched, but I still enjoyed. "

" Confusing to say the least; I just couldn't finish it. "
