Loving this one!

THE DOOMSDAY KEY seems a bit slower than some of Rollins novels, but it's holding my interest. Having read so many of the Sigma books I have a vested interest in these well-developed characters.

This Rollins' Sigma Force novel jumps right to the gory action. Loving it so far . . .

As with many of Rollins' novels, there's a lot going on in THE DEVIL COLONY. A whole lot! And I did find it hard at times to keep up...

As I said before, this is the 1st Rollins Sigma Force novel I've had trouble getting into. Loved the new characters - Jada and Duncan. I hope they'll return in future books. Loved reconnecting with Gray and Seichan. Lots of action and Rollins' multiple storylines. He is, after all, the master at crafting such. I just wasn't moved by the plot. But still a huge, HUGE fan. Look forward to the next read.

A good read so far. Rollins has added some interesting new characters.

So far nonstop action from Rollins. No surprise there. Loving this one.

I'm finding this Pendergast installment not quite measuring up to all the pre-release date hype. But I have a fear of fire and found the murder scenes extremely brutal and disturbing. However, I have loved revisiting the gutsy character of Corrie Swanson and the forever intriguing Special Agent Pendergast. I'll never tire of this series. Review coming . . .

My reading was interrupted by necessary work on my own books. But this thriller is a good one, and I can't wait to get back to it. Review coming.

I love James Rollins' writing. His characters are engaging, albeit light on romance. His stories full of intrigue & superb action, his plots always unique. With AOE I felt Rollins could've taken the story to another level, fleshed out the characters more, this time particularly in the romance area, since it's so tied to the backstory. No spoilers here. AOE is well worth the read...just wished for a bit more.

Altar of Eden is true to Rollins fine form so far. Loving it!

I was into Patterson's The Big Bad Wolf until probably the last 50 - 75 pages, then the story seemed to lose its way. The plot got muddled. Maybe there was too much going on, with so many kidnappings and murders, so many bad guys. Then Patterson threw in Alex Cross' ex-wife, Christine. Please. That's a whole other story in itself. I'm giving this one 4 stars, but honestly, the end seemed lacking.

IMHO, Chill Factor doesn't measure up to Brown's usual high standard. Lackluster characters, lackluster plot. B- romance. I finished the novel but was never really drawn to the characters or their plight. Even the baddie seemed lacking. Giving this one three stars. But still a fan...

Found CABINET OF CURIOSITIES just as fascinating the second time around. Bravo!

This is a re-read. Having recently finished TWO GRAVES by Preston and Child, where they brought back Constance Greene, I sought to refresh my memory on how this character came to be. Besides, CABINET OF CURIOSITIES has always been one of my favorite P&C books.

THE LAST ORACLE is, by far, the best James Rollins novel I've read. Hmmm...probably since SANDSTORM. (And I've read a few well-crafted Rollins novels.)

Great read so far. A first-rate blend of action, excitement and tenderness. Bravo!
