review 1: Hello decided to read this book because I am interested in Mayan History. The book had an interesting and ok storyline. The characters were great and felt like I was part of the book. It took me a long time to read and finish the book. Not the kind of book that I really couldn't wait to get back to. Lydia and Julio were working together on an archeological project at the great pyramid of Pakabtun for years.They have been trying to find out how and why the Mayans left or disappeared? Was it there technology or their religion that failed. So the story unfolds where the strange and ancient man named Nacho a shamane tells a story of A Magic Book. This book is about how some people have another sense of reality and can go back or have been reborn from ancient times. It was inte... moreresting and I liked the book. Also the interesting concept of a new story begins or ends or neverends all the time and just continues? I can only give it a 3. Try it you might like it. thanks, Susan
review 2: One of the best books on a Mayan theme that I have read! An author is an epigrapher and uses this background to create a fascinating plot that unfolds around translating Mayan glyphs. As a Maya researcher and author, I found descriptions from Maya literature (eg, Popol Vuh) accurate and poetically woven into the action. The story is compelling and keeps you intrigued, its a page-turner. Characters are distinct, quirky, and well-developed. The premise that you can interact with the ancient Maya world through computer created virtual reality becomes terrifyingly believable as the story progresses. At the end, there remained a few loose connections that I wanted explained. Not strictly historical fiction, as most action is in current times. Also has flavor of mystery and fantasy literature. Overall, a great read. less
