review 1: Interesting book about 8 skulls which ahve to come together in order to ward off the destruction of the world. Timeline moves between 2007 and 1556. Based upon the Mayan prediction that a cataclysmic event awaits humanity in 2012. Historical facts are correctly conveyed and a lot of research has gone into the novel. Action is fast paced with a surprising conclusion. Enjoyed it immensely, however can't help feeling that the characters were not as fully developed as they could have been.
review 2: There's an intrinsic risk in writing a book which interweaves two different and separate story lines - it's almost inevitable that one will be more intriguing than the other, and that the reader will want to skip ahead to follow the more interesting one. This is what ha... moreppened for me is 'The Crystal Skull'. For the first few chapters I liked the modern strand more - but I quickly became more interested in the historical strand, which was more convincing and the characters more sympathetic. I like Manda Scott's writing, but I enjoyed her early thrillers more than her later books. The present-day story line in this book didn't quite ring true, for some reason. less
