The Skin Map: Bright Empires, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Ripping yarn. More like Doctor Who than Lawhead normally goes. Less fantasy, more science fiction. I've read book two and am opening book three tonight. "

" Seeing as it is the second time I have read it since it came out, and I bought it after first reading the library copy, I like it. "

" Excellent, fast-paced story about a young man caught up in time and space. Lawhead creates great characters who make you care about what happens to them. I look forward to the next in the series. "

" Interesting, but not a must. Characters split off into different story lines, and one was way more interesting than the other. I'm giving the second book in the series a chance, maybe I will feel different when given more of the complete story. "

" Read through this one quickly. Lawhead's knowledge of history lends to the riches of the narrative. I appreciated the ley travel theme. It is much more intriguing than the topic of time travel. Thoroughly enjoyed the story! "

" Loved this book! I can't wait to finish the series. The whole time travel thing is so well written it is wholly believable. "

" Very enjoyable, except for the 'to be continued' type of ending. "

" Not bad, but not great. Story is part Twilight Zone, part Indiana Jones ( archealogy, not the action ). I skimmed the last few chapters to get to the end, which is not an indication of a great read. "

" Loved the idea behind the time travel and other dimensions, but there was something lacking in the story. I wanted to love this book, but I found it mediocre. "

" time travel and ley lines Oh My! "

" This is just a fun adventure hoping between different times and places around Europe and Egypt. I enjoyed this entertaining read on my vacation and look forward to the next book in the series. "

" loved it - almost a cross genre book. "

" Great characters and interesting story. The ending seemed unfinished. "

" Awesome, my favorite author!!! I am glad he is returning to his fantasy side of writing. Hoping this is a series as it is definitely a cliff hanger. "

" Seeing as it is the second time I have read it since it came out, and I bought it after first reading the library copy, I like it. "

" 1st book in a new series. can't wait for the next installment "

" Started off really well but fell to pieces at the end "

" Great read, waiting for next installment. "

" Wasn't digging it, but it ended strong. Ready for the next one. "

" Starting off strong, with an intriguing premise, vivid descriptions and likable characters, The Skin Map by Stephen R. Lawhead, leaves too many loose ends to be a five-star novel, but it’s a fascinating enough preview to earn four stars and put its sequel on my reading list for next year. "
