havoc 's review for:
Gideon's Sword
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
I had read a few books by Preston and Child before this one, I remember enjoying Riptide and really not liking Wheel of Darkness - one of their Pendergast books. This one falls in the middle.
The overall feeling I got was of a YA story, mainly because of the pacing. Feeling like a YA novel isn't necessarily bad, but things happen one after another and characters change their minds on a whim, it's just all so unconvincing.
I suppose I enjoyed the story enough, Gideon's tricks through acting were fun, and the pacing did allowed a fast read. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but if someone expressed interest I wouldn't discourage the read.
