review 1: I really got into the characters of this novel, they are well written and have depth. I read this on vacation and got horrific food poisoning so the end of this book is tainted by my exorcism like vomiting and trots. I did not enjoy the ending at all. Did Anthem end up with wings? WTF. I would say it does move slowly, the story is not fast paced and there is very little action until the end. There isn't much by way of explanation for the pool goobers, I suppose that's ok since no authorities are involved but I like a bit of science thrown in there personally.
review 2: I found The Heaven's Rise to be an enjoyable read. I didn't love it as I remember loving A Density of Souls when it was released in 2000. (I went back to read that one again a few years later.)Fo... morer a mystery novel The Heaven's Rise is really straightforward. There are no drawn out plot twists or turns. The reader can easily know what is going on. There is a touch of a supernatural element, though I feel the "mind monsters" where introduced too late. I would have liked some history about the parasite and some historical record of the "mind monsters". Ben is an investigative reporter, so you would think after he found out the truth he would have looked into past stories about those strange creatures. Nikki's experiments could not have been the only ones. Also, were there others affected by the parasite before Marshal and Nikki? I really liked the way the characters developed and interacted with each other. Ben and Marissa were my favorite characters. I also found it very realistic that Ben never told Anthem the truth about Marshal. What I really love about Rice's writing is that he describes New Orleans so very well. The details of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (as well as another disaster) and the effect it had on not only the landscape but the emotional effect it had on the people, it gave the story life.3.5 out 5 Mind Monsters. less
