A review by papidoc
The Blood Gospel by James Rollins

Meh. I read one of Rollins' other books (in the Sigma series, I think?), and felt the same way about it. Something about his writing style doesn't draw me in to the scene, the drama, or the thoughts and experiences of the characters the way other novelists do...Sandford, Koontz (early works), Child, Ludlum, Parker, and a few others. As others have noted, he and Cantrell seem to be trying to capitalize on the wave of interest in vampiric fantasy. I don't necessarily have anything against that, but if someone is going to come late to the game, they need to do it better than the others. This one really doesn't, though it was entertaining enough to get me through a few treadmill workouts.
