Review of SEVEN WONDERS by Ben Mezrickk
In Ben Mezrick's novel SEVEN WONDERS, i
found an intriguing premise of garden of
Edens tied to the 7 Ancient Wonders of the
World and to the 7 Modern Wonders of the
World. Through the fast-paced chapters
where 'tickle the ivories' takes on a whole
new meaning, the improbable becomes realized. Mezrich masterfully ties such
disparate religions as Muslim, Judeo-
Christian, Hindu, Incan and Mayan into a
comprehensive, mysterious take that would
make Clive Cussler proud. The ending was
a bit murky with the world shattering
revelations unprovable and the mysterious
power behind the evil still unknown. But
the two protagonists walk happily into a
heart-shaped sunset. It was a hectic but
satisfying read to the end. I give SEVEN
WONDERS 4 Stars.
