The Magic Circle (Abridged) Audiobook

" Got a little confusing but still enjoyed it. "

" Disappointing in comparison with The Eight, I find that even though I vividly remember reading this book only a few years ago, I can't for the life of me remember what it was about. "

" Really REALLY hard to keep track of all the players in this book! Interesting story but I never really did understand exactly what the "manuscripts" where supposed to tell them except sex is good! "

" A little long & complicated. The Eight & The Fire are much better. But this was entertaining & interesting. "

" a thinking persons mystery...fun and good! "

" great idea turned into total crap "

" To me, this was basically the author's attempt to recreate "The Eight", which was great. Sadly, this was not. "

" By the end of this long and convoluted book I was really starting to wonder what I was reading about. I'm still not sure who was related to who and exactly what the point of the story was. Very disappointing from a author that I have enjoyed reading in the past. "

" A little hard to follow at times with the similar foreign names - but only if you aren't reading it all the time... I really enjoy Katherine Neville's books because she makes you think - and you never see the ending's coming (even though you THINK you do!) "

" Typical Neville writing style. Some parts a little over my head. Least favorite book of hers so far, but still very engaging. "

" Really bad quality audiobook. "

" horrible, too many things going on "

" I like all of Neville's novels but this is the best of the best-- wonderful quirky characters, a twisting plot that stretches through recorded history. "

" AWFUL & CONUSING "

" I love Neville's book The Eight, but this one is poorly structured and complicated. It just kept getting worse and more drawn out. I had to force myself to finish it, and even then it was a let down. "

" Not a fan of this author, this was the second book of her's I tried. This plot was atleast interesting, but I couldn't take her sudden shifts in time which were wayyyyy toooooo long and boring. "

" Was erg spannend en ik wilde toch wel weten hoe het afliep. Maar het was niet erg bijzonder. "

" Not a bad read a little farfetched in places but historically interesting "

" Good. Not as good as The Eight but still good. "

" Also a great adventure/academic book. "

" Too convoluted to be enjoyable. "

" I gave this precursor to THE DA VINCI CODE two stars because I found it a rather disappointing read, but that might be because nothing compares to Neville's previous novel (THE EIGHT) or because I was recovering from knee surgery and on doped up on percocet the whole time . . . "

" horrible, too many things going on "

" I really enjoyed it, very well written thriller type. So many plot twists you'll get whip lash. Reminds me a lot of Dan Brown (though this was written first). Gets disappointing toward the end though, feels a bit anti-climactic. Otherwise, very fun read. "

" Not my favorite of hers. A little too long and a little too abstract for my current mindset. "

" I thought i was too slow-paced and mixed up. But I'll eventually try to read it again. Just in case. "

" Really bad quality audiobook. "

" About 100 of the 334 pages I read (of the 554 in the book) were interesting and well written. The remainder were boring, preachy, and incredulous, outdoing Brown's Da Vinci Code (written years before it) in pedantic, mystical theories of clandestine power maneuvering. "

" Otro de mis libros favoritos¡me encantó y me lo he leido tantas veces...gran libro para conocer otras èpocas y otros personajes pero con mas encanto que en el "Ocho" "

" I like all of Neville's novels but this is the best of the best-- wonderful quirky characters, a twisting plot that stretches through recorded history. "

" only Neville can come to such crazy family connections as Ariel has :P "

" Too much history...blah, blah, blah. The story was interesting when the book was not refering back to Roman time, Druids, Caligua, Hitler, Greel gods. See my point with too much history, over half the book was useless to me. "

" interesting concepts but a bit too confusing and scattered "
