Commentary As Books The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast #8)

The Wheel of Darkness was my least favorite of the Pendergast series.

"But Ginger, you still gave it 3 stars?!"
"Well, have you read any Pendergast books yet my fellow Goodreads friend?"
"No."
"Well, let me explain. So far, every book has been fun, suspenseful and entertaining. At times the books can creep you the fuck out! I mean, they can't all be 5 star books. Right?!"

Why did I give this a lower rating?

I think the unbelievability with this plot was a bit much for me along with how Pendergast and Constance always got their way while on the Britannia. And to be honest, I think my mind is too damn dumb to understand the complexities of the Agozyen.
It was still an interesting, powerful and fascinating Tibetan artifact. I liked the idea of it and wish I was smarter so I can figure out how to take over the world!

I enjoyed the secondary characters, the premise of the plot and all the action. This was definitely a fun and enjoyable read!

Recommended to fellow Pendergast fans, fans of thrillers and action genres and anyone looking for a high seas and dramamine induced nautical read!

Discuss Of Books The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast #8)

Audiobook review. Sometimes I want to give a book zero stars. This is one of those books. Having read a few books in this series and enjoyed them, I was expecting at least a 2.5-star experience. Scott Brick has ably narrated previous novels. This one is narrated by actor René Auberjonois, whos most entertaining when reading fun, bit characters like a cranky old woman or an intoxicated man. The rest of the time, hes rather low energy, and at times, its difficult to discern when he switches

Oh, this was quite good. There was a stronger sense of mysticism to this novel than there have been even before, and I very much appreciated that.The one thing that sometimes nags at me about Preston/Child books is that they go so in-depth with the detailing of certain aspects about novels. In this one, it had to do with nautical terms. They crash course you, and while I appreciate learning something new, there's no way I attained even half of the information thrown at me. Still, I am glad that

After a leaving their last book soaked with uncertainty, Preston and Child return with a very disappointing conclusion. Many a thread are left untied with the conclusion of this book. In their past books they have treated the unknown with science and explanation, but here they delve way too deeply into the supernatural. The ending is remenicent of the deus ex machina endings of ancient Greek theatre. The authors build up the suspense, but then take the easy way out by having very improbable

This book is calamari.Before I explain WHY this book is calamari, its important to note two things: 1) in a pretty spot-on demonstration of my poor taste, going back to Relic, Ive elected to use food metaphors to describe each book in a series that usually features serial killers; and 2) I hate seafood, with one exception.Wheel of Darkness sees the Pendergast series careening wildly through thriller tropes and treading dangerously close to parody territory. If Sherlock Holmes, Bruce Lee, and

3.5 stars.Not as good as the last few books but still makes for a compulsive, addictive read. The bulk of the story took place on a massive luxury ocean liner; a setting which can give one the creeps when faced with mysterious disappearances, a gruesome suicide and murders while stuck in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The plotline was a bit ludicrous, treading into the supernatural with Eastern mysticism as its basis. As much as I enjoyed the supernatural, it felt inconsistent with the series

Okay, this was a tough one. From what Ive read so far and in my own personal opinion, within Preston/Childs series about FBI agent extraordinaire Aloysius Pendergast the books are either very good (like, for example, Still Life With Crows) or not good at all (Relic). Interestingly enough, The Wheel of Darkness was a bit in between. Maybe I should mention that I havent read Brimstone, Dance of Death or The Book of the Dead up until now, so Constance was a new character for me, but I liked her
