The start of a new creepy series

Relic (Pendergast #1) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

February 3, 2021 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

The idea of this book is just so fantastical.  There’s a beast killing people in the Museum of Natural History in NYC.  Like come on.  But it totally works (at least for me)!  I read this book because I love Douglas Preston.  He made me scared of bats in the wild and bleeding through my eyes (reasonable fears I think). This is apparently the debut novel for the Pendergast series.  I had no idea it existed, but I’m so glad I found it.  I have […]

A diabolical and clever thriller

Crimson Shore (Pendergast #15) by Preston & Child

June 10, 2016 by TylerDFC 2 Comments

I write my reviews as I read. I’m sure most do it’s the only way to really express the nuances and little things you notice as you are reading, as opposed to trying to remember when the story is over. This partly explains why I’ve been mostly absent this year; my review file was lost when I moved computers and I can barely remember what I read this year, let alone what I thought about them. I had this review nearly ready to go with […]

Preston & Child’s Pendergast Series has Lost its Heart

Blue Labyrinth by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

January 17, 2015 by Valyruh Leave a Comment

Perhaps I’ve read too many of the Pendergast series by Preston & Child, but I found Blue Labyrinth to be, well, just plain cold. That is, it didn’t draw me in or make me root for the eccentric protagonist, or anyone else for that matter. My feeling is that if you’re going to write a series about an unusual person, you need to reveal more and more of the man’s character, backstory, flaws and strengths to hold a reader’s interest. Instead, we continue to get […]
