The Wheel of Darkness (Abridged) Audiobook

" Got really tired of Pendergast being preternaturally wise and omni-observant, but it's a good page-turner. "

" This series totally rocks my socks! Another great installment. "

" Not my favorite of their books. For some reason, this one seemed to fantastic, which is stupid since all of their books are a bit unreal, but I had a hard time accepting the "monster" in this one. A disappointment to me. "

" I have a soft spot for Pendergast (the FBI agent hero of the book) and his semi-mystical slant on life and detection. He is a great character if one suspends disbelief at the range and breadth of his extraordinary talents, from card counting to fine art, from physical prowess to lock-picking. His side-kick, Constance, is less enthralling, but who knows may develop in future titles. This novel at times has the feel of a blockbuster disaster movie, but it rattles along quite nicely, as do all P&C novels. A diverting way to spend a wet afternoon or two. "

" Good suspense that keeps the reader engrossed. I did not enjoy the smoky ghost part etc -- makes it feel its an utter fantasy. Overall a good casual read at the cottage or beach. "

" By the end of the book, I was hoping Pendergast would retire or ... "

" Pendergast scared me silly in this one! "

" I enjoy the books Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child write together. It's a little scientific, ancient religons, mystery and they have no problem having the good guys die, which can be emotional. "

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

" Another very good read keeping the thread of FBI agent Pendergast. "

" This was a great read - good story and engrossing plot line. Though there were some inconsistencies in the plot, they weren't fatal. Thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" I like this series with Agent Pendegrast. very well written, and they keep me interested. "

" I read part of this during Christmas break and finished the rest in about 2 days last week. Fun, but I wish crazy Diogenes wasn't dead. "

" I really got addicted to all the Pendergast series books and read them one after the other. . .enough said. "

" almost in the 'abandoned' pile, one would think that spies, military and the occult is just what I like but somehow it just sits there, on the bathroom counter at page 54... "

" This was my least favorite of the series. It was definitely over the top in what I could believe. "

" good for reading on a plane. "

" Not as easy to read as the previous books. Still good, just not what I usually expect from Preston/Child...Personally, the story was just not as interesting to me. "

" It was ... okay. The authors seemed to have gotten away from the characters themselves. Halfway through, the story just became chaos. No structure. "

" Ik heb al betere boeken gelezen over Pendergast vond ik. Veel heeft natuurlijk te maken met de locatie, op het schip Brittania. Maar dan nog, de manier waarop Pendergast omgaat met dit probleem is ook anders vind ik. Maar ik blijf wel benieuwd naar het vervolg! "

" Meh. Good paperback to read at the lake. I burned through it in two days and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it, but it's awkwardly written and the plot is clunky. "

" This book was a complete flop; I have no idea what was going on! It defiantly was not about a missing artifact. "

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

" I really enjoy the Pendergast stories....this one was no exception! "

" 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. "

" 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. "
