Book Reviews of Thunderhead
Book Review: Definitely not disappointing
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read RELIC and then went for years before I thought to check about sequels or other books. I was pleased to see a nice selection. THUNDERHEAD caught my eye because of the description so I tried it. And loved it! Great descriptions, wonderful portrayal of characters, and I even got my favorite reporter back unexpectedly. A very interesting idea about the Anasazi too.Book Review: Desert Super Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second book I read from Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. As usual, I was immediately drawn to the compelling story of a lost city, and read over 100 pages a day. The narrative is furious and fast and never led down. The characters are surprisingly likeable but predictable. I could guess what Sloane would turned out to be way before the end of the book. However, this is a minor complain in a book made for popcorn entertainment. The only thing I don't like about this book and The Ice Limit (also by Child/Preston) is that there are supernatural elements that are not explain, unlike the books of Michael Crichton. Overall, I felt anyone looking for a good read should pick up this book.Book Review: Disappointing book.

I found myself skipping way to many paragraphs and pages. Weak plot and uninteresting characters. Will not buy another book written by these authors.Book Review: Don't Get Me Wrong - I recommend It
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the third Child/Preston book I have read, and while I enjoyed it, I am finding their formula a little tedius. Certainly it was a page turning adventure and gave me some insight on lost Native American cultures. However, I found it too long with too much of the "Perils of Pauline" flavour. From about the middle I wanted them to get to the punchline - an admirable trait that Child and Preston are famous for. Nevertheless, it is a decent read.
