review 1: This book was thrilling. It was suspenseful and a page turner and quickly devoured. Having said that, it lacked substance. I felt like the author had an ending in mind and was working backward toward the beginning all along. I also felt like we lost sight and reasoning behind some of the supporting characters. Even the eventual connection between the main characters seemed sort of "so what?" I found myself asking "why" more than I was saying "oh I see." It was good and I'm glad I read it. But I don't think I'd read it again.
review 2: Worth the read....but still, only a solid three. The writing has improved, but the idea or as I call it, the 'ah-ha' factor was a little underwhelming. At many points, the plot was unbelievable and insufferable. Not of the supe... morernatural sorts, but the everyday reality sort. I feel this cheats the reader and is lazy of the writer. Not sure if it was deliberate laziness or lack of imagination. On the flip side, please don't misunderstand my review. Writing is exhaustive work that takes determination and learned skill. Suffice it to say, this is a solid piece of work, markedly better than the last. I solidly enjoyed it and will seek out 'Tom Knox's' next work of fiction: The Lost Godess. less
