The Prometheus Deception (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Since it's Ludlum....think Bourne Identity. Change the main character's name to Jason and that's what you've got. A Bourne book. So, it was good. Fighting, spying, tech, he's a good guy, no wait, a bad guy, no he's really good, and the lot, but I was hoping for something...eh...else, I guess. "

" This book is really really boring. Maybe if I had read it when it first came out, back in 2000, I would have liked it better. Realizing that it came out in 2000 is kinda spooky, since he predicts all these terrorist plots. Hmmm, very suspicious. "

" this book has just one headline action.if you love action this absolutely the book for you.i loved it ,its incredibly fast-paced,mysterious and a definite page-turner.start reading and you`ll never get what you expect.the main character nick bryson is also my favourite.absolutely the best thriller i`ve ever read.robert ludlum is a genius. "

" Enjoyed it, except for the unnecessary language and repetitive questions to self. "

" I was looking forward to another Ludlum but stopped this book 3/4 through. I guess not all bad as it took me that long to dump it but there are better books for me to spend time with "

" Too tedious. Seemed that the characters had the same temperament. Every review references the Bourne novels. Loved the movies. My first Ludlum novel. It was anything but Bourne. At times gripping. Plot shivery to the point that you ask yourself. " universal surveillance" could it be true. But Just way too long for my taste. If you are a spy, espionage thriller fan, then I recommend it. Also seemed like every character had the vocabulary capacity of Merrium- Webster. Ok 2.5 stars bc he mentions Dutchess County NY. Where I happen to be from. "

" Did you like "Angels and Demons"? If so you might like this. It provides a similar guilty pleasure but most of the criticisms pointed out elsewhere are quite valid. "

" Ditto Ludlum. Read them all. Pure entertainment. No socially-redeeming value. Can't remember dates. "

" It was a delicious book at first, but like a mudman painting your fence at a moderate price, it was filled with disappointment. The ending was weak sauce, it hurt my eyes. "

" Excellent stuff while on holiday! "

" I shouldn't begin a Ludlum novel when I have work to do. "

" It was my first book of Robert Ludlum and I wasn't disappointed. I was surprised how story turn it out "

" just 'cause this book was the 1st inspiration I had to actually start writing short fictional stories when I was in high school. "

" Not to bad. Sometimes Ludlum's books are so technical that I don't enjoy them as much as the movie's. I like the visual part of the technical stuff, but I don't like reading about it. "

" My favorite Ludlum book of all time. Intrigue, suspense and heart-ache. Alias fans need to read this book. Alias is a total rip off of the Prometheus Deception! "

" This was the first book I read by Robert Ludlum and I really enjoyed it. I am a huge conspiraciy theorist and this went right along with my thoughts!! "

" Trying to decide along with Nicholas Bryson who are the good guys and who are the enemies - Ludlum doesn't let the reader off the hook until the very end. Magnificent writing. "

" Hmmmm. Not really my thing. A succession of glamorous locations, double crosses, triple crosses and violence aplenty along with a curiously unexiting world takeover. Passes the time though and he ties it all up pretty neatly. "

" A good who done it, mystery/spy book. Kept me guessing till the end. "

" A good book that was a thriller. I liked it a lot, and learned a lot. "

" I loved it. Great thriller. Plenty of twists and turns. Maybe the best spy novel I have read yet. "

" Eesh, where was the editor? "

" **** Although I'm sure that there have been other books that I haven't read that could also cover the same subject matter -- This seems to me to be the book that was the basis for the TV series "Alias". Very fast paced and exciting read! "

" This was my first Ludlum book. I've not read any spy thrillers before. This one started off with good and fast narration and kept the thrill till the end. But, I felt the climax was a bit clichéd. May be that was the only way out. Interesting read. "

" Very cool spy novel. I'm easily amused. "

" Excellent stuff while on holiday! "

" A good who done it, mystery/spy book. Kept me guessing till the end. "

" A group of international industrialists put a worldwide, electronic surveillance system in place in order to end privacy and control the world. James Bondish with very poor dialogue. "

" Fun reading ... super spy saves the world from the diabolical [Big-Brother-esque:] plan of a group of über-rich businessmen who control the world's information gathering technology ... almost ... but why does there always have to be a love story? "

" Started out great but finished a little slow. The first 300 pages were great. Last 200 dragged on. "

" I really enjoyed this book until I reached, until I got to about the final 100 pages (of ~550 pages in total). At that point, it was almost as if the another less talented writer took over, and the plot became much less realistic. This could have been a 5 star book otherwise. "
