The Blood Gospel by James Rollins
1.0
I really enjoyed the first 5 books James Rollins wrote a long time ago. The next two were Sigma Force books and I couldn't stand them and never looked at his books again. Fast forward to this week I gave him another try. I dnf'ed this one at about 13%.
The first problem is the many changing POVs. I hate it when I'm settled in a plotline and it goes well, then the author switches to something else and I have to reset and start again. Rarely does an author do it well. With this book, I lost track of the different POVs that Rollins did, 4?
In itself, sometimes it's surpassable if the writing is very good but unfortunately the writing is very slow here, like the author gets paid by the word. Truly this book is the opposite of fast paced. After another new POV, I quit the book happily. According to GR's rating system 1 star = I did not like it.
