The Paris Vendetta (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Really not one of my favorites. An interesting story line however I did not care for Sam or Meagan, and I am terribly disapponted that Henrik has been killed off from the story lines. I love having him as a side character in Cotton's adventures. "

" Another great Cotton Malone character book. Sad to see a favored character die off, but story was good and wrapped up loose ends for HT. I liked the new character introduced, Sam Collins. Be interesting to see if he resurfaces in future Cotton books (I still need to catch up to). Starting The Emperor's Tomb shortly! "

" Good summer escapist stuff. Lots of bits of history thrown in, and at the end, clarification of what was legit historical or cultural info. "

" I enjoy the way Steve Berry combines fact, fiction, theory and the search - but some of his other books were much better. "

" Easily the worst Cotton Malone book. A less than exciting quest, an important recurring character absent except for a cameo (actually not really much of a cameo), and way more time spent on apprehending a known terrorist as oppposed to a quest adventure. Furthermore, I found Cotton's behavior and actions in this to be totally annoying and unbelievable. In short a major disappointment all around. I hope the next Cotton adventure is better. Steve Berry seems to be going downhill. The last Cotton book The Charlemagne Pursuit was less than stellar too. I can only hope he turns things around. "

" A good read Steve Berry has kept this series refreshing and I enjoyed it. "

" Berry has really gotten stale for me. His plots get slower, he introduces too many new characters, and the history gets too thin and watery for my taste. I think I've gotten as far in the series as I care to go. "

" Have read all his books and have enjoyed them all. He keeps you turning the pages. "

" Rather fragmented and surprisingly boring except at the very end. "

" Excellent thriller, could not pot it down. Looking forward to reading more books from this author. "

" I love me some Cotton Malone! "

" Think I need a paper copy of this book. I couldn't listen to the reader. He sounded the same as when he reads the Clive Cussler books And the authors write differently. "

" A solid action thriller - lots of suspense and set amidst the intrigue of Paris. I wish I could add a half star... "

" I did not make it through this one. I think I stopped with about 100 pages left. It was just so slow. It truly dragged and there were so many characters, and so many different plots and groups, and I really did not care for any of them. "

" All the hallmarks of a Steve Berry novel are here: The history, action and fast pace are all there, and it's refreshing to be introduced to new characters in the series, which I'm sure will pop up in later novels. "

" The continuing adventures of Cotton Malone. This time he is going up against a group that causes economic chaos in order to profit from them. "

" This book has some twists and turns I wasn't expecting. I still enjoy the character but knowing there is another Cotton Malone novel and a Vitt offshoot makes me wonder if this author is going to keep going back to this well forever. His other novels with other leads were just as good. "

" Good book. Although I love Steve Berry, this wasn't my favorite of the Malone series of books, but it was still good. I felt that the Napoleon myth/story wasn't as interesting as the past ones. Still, it was a good read. "

" 2nd read - continuing with Cotton Malone series. "

" A complete waste of time. I had read Steve Berry's The Venetian Betrayal before and I had enjoyed it. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was ok. This one is a complete nonsense. It is a whole lot of information on Napoleon and Paris sites crammed together around a non plausible plot. "

" No one writes historical thrillers like Steve Berry. I can say the same thing for all his books- they keep me turning the pages long into the night. "

" I tried to like this but couldn't get into it. The characters were carictures and not very interesting. I finally gave it up. "

" I really enjoyed listening to this book. I have read/listened to several books by Steve Berry and this was this best so far. "

" Good book. Did not take me long to read. Would be a nice book to take on vacation. "

" Such a good book, this time Cotton is in Paris following his friend bent on revenge. Napoleon's treasure is up for grabs. I had to stay awake so I could finish listening to this book. I already have the next Cotton Malone adventure on my Ipod. "

" Nice read. Typical Steve Berry with a lot of details using history. The action is fast at times and slow at others. Enjoyed reading about Cotton and all of his friends again. Wish I knew where the name Cotton comes from. "

" Good bank holiday read! Napoleon has hidden clues as to where his stash is hidden. Twists and turns, and a bit of code breaking (with a guest appearance by the Priory of Sion!) reveals all. "

" Cotton Malone and his intrigues with a financial meltdown as a background. Probably my last Steve Berry nove. Good but beginning to be formulaic. "

" Not as good as some of his others. "

" Really not one of my favorites. An interesting story line however I did not care for Sam or Meagan, and I am terribly disapponted that Henrik has been killed off from the story lines. I love having him as a side character in Cotton's adventures. "

" Another great book in the Cotton Malone series. This one was a little more believable than the last. Now to start his newest.... "

" I picked this up on a whim at the library and it turned out to be a page turner that I stayed up late to finish. I will definitely be picking up more of Berry's books from here on out. "

" This book gets one star for having found a publisher. Otherwise, it was vacuous. "

" The thing I like about Steve Berry is that his books are fun to read. Not the best written book, dialog especially was lacking, but still a good fun read. "

" Makes you went to visit Paris. Action novel and very informative. "
