Download The Wheel of Darkness Audiobook

" My husband and I made the mistake of reading this book before a cruise. Not a good idea because it is a thriller on a cruise ship with weird and crazy murders and happenings. Great read, it will just cause you to question the cruise you might take in the near future! "

" Basically this was a mystery with an Asian influence. Carter picked it for me based on the cover art and it was fun to read and engaging. The ending was somewhat disappointing because it was too fantastical and convienient for the tone of the book. I also didn't realize until half way through that the authors have previous books that tie into this one, sort of like Clancy books featuring the same main characters. I can't decide if it was good enough to go back and read the preceeding books. "

" Run of the mill thriller. Needed a change of pace and got it. Nothing special here, but I enjoyed the quick read. "

" This book seemed so good, and so full of promise and it was just a pile of junk. "

" Very good book, not your run of the mill mystery. I listened to the audio book. The narrator is excellent. "

" My least favorite of the Preston/Child novels, though it did have some rather hilarious Pendergast moments in it. "

" Oddly felt like the details were a little forced, but the story was very enjoyable and the twists entertaining. "

" My least favorite of the Preston/Child books. "

" This book started out a little slow, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The twists and turns in this book kept me entertained. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was very different and interesting. I bought it intending to read and then sell, but I am keeping it. "

" I did not like this book at all - the first I'd read/listened to in the Pendergast series written by Douglas Preston. It was way too 'dark' for me and the reader wasn't easy to listen to. "

" Good read!! I really enjoy Pendergast as a character! "

" This one needed a 4.5 star. If you are an Aloysius Pendergast fan, you'll love this book. Great intrigue, mystery and suspense. "

" Mind over matter... "

" So much fun...I love these guys. Great characters, exciting stories, and the kind of can't-put-it-down action that comes with anything Pendergast. It's fluff and it's mindless fun, but it's a fun indulgence. "

" Liked most of it then it got too unbelievable. Borrowed the smoke monster from Lost. "

" What more can be said ... not enough superlatives. Another in the great line of Pendergast books. "

" So, I will say that this book is not as good as I was hoping. It made me want to take a cruise and that is just about it. After "Dance of Death" the last two Preston/Child books haven't been quite as good. I wait until a new Pendergast book comes out to see. "

" Great. I couldn't put it down. "

" Here the detective faces his most terrible enemy...himself. Really enjoyed reading this one but not my favorite in the series. "

" This was a lot more magical and mystical than other Pendergast novels but I still liked it. "

" It was nice to revisit Pendergast, even if he was becoming a highly improbably character. But the whole tulpa thing was a bit much. "

" While not as good as Reliquary, Cabinet of Curiosities, or Still Life With Crows, this Agent Pendergast adventure was intricate and enjoyable. Preston and Child always deliver. "

" Fantastic! I loved the scenes in Tibet and so cool that the bulk of the story took place on an ocean liner. So much enjoyment and inspiration for American Monsters II here! "

" this was the first book that I read by these authors. It was a good story but did have a few slow moving moments. But interesting enough that I will read other books by these two....

"

" The hidden monastery and the gigantic cruise ship are alone full of intrigue, but once Pendergast and the smoke monster are added, the ride is scary yet fun. "

" If you like a fast paced, action packed book this is one for you. It was easy to follow and easy to read plus it kept my attention thourghout the book. The main setting of the book helped intensify the mystry and excitment of the story. This was a great read. "

" While I can't pinpoint the problem. This Pendergast installment just didn't grab my attention or even hold it. "

" It had a lot of supernatural elements that were just out there "

" I really do like Preston and Child's books but this was a little too absurd. Also, way too much technical details. "

" Yet another Preston and Child book that was too intense to put down! When these two write together, they make it work! "

" This one holds the distinction of being my least favorite of all the Pendergast novels. It had some parts I enjoyed, but overall could not immerse in it near as much as the other books. "

" It ws okay until it went into the supernatural - - that stuff doesn't excite me. "

" Intense! Remind me not to go on a cruise anytime soon! "

" So much fun...I love these guys. Great characters, exciting stories, and the kind of can't-put-it-down action that comes with anything Pendergast. It's fluff and it's mindless fun, but it's a fun indulgence. "

" It was pretty good....about a ship at sea and people being possessed by demons "

" "Intellectual thriller" is what I would classify this book as. Page turning read with oh so many facts thrown in. "
