Search - The Eight

Truly one of my "top ten" books. It is complex, entertaining, mysterious, with great characters, puzzles, love stories, etc. You'll love it!

I liked this book. I thought it a little hard to follow the story line at times. The characters were numerous and jumped back and forth in time. But I liked the action and the mystery was good.

A Hidden Gem. I loved this book. It is detailed, and complex. I highly recommend it.

This is one of my all time favorite books because it is so complex. It is not a beach read, but one where you can lose yourself. Written in two time frames, during the French Revolution and modern day, the action switches back and forth and is sometimes a little hard to follow. But this is well worth the time to pay attention. It is astonishing that this is the author's first novel. The story is so intricate and characters are so well developed, it was a pleasure to read. The story of the chess set and its parallels to the characters will stay with you for a long time.

Interesting, and loaded with historical info, but very difficult to follow. Not a book I would recommend to a friend, unless they understood chess very well and had an excellent knowledge of the French Revolution.

Great for fans fo the DaVinci code. Ancient conspiracies unfold in modern times.
