Actually did a good job with this one

Revisado: 01-13-25

I have read other books that were companions to A Christmas Carol in the past and been slightly disappointed. This book, however I thought did a really good job of mapping out the life of Ebeneezer Scrooge. It has a lot of sadness in it, which you should expect, but does a good job of explaining details of his life that only get touched on in the book or in the movies. Like the book has a heartwarming ending and puts out some pretty good possibilities of how Scrooge’s life could’ve gone after the visit from the three spirits. I know it’s fiction, but I kind of like how a story went with this one.

Fun story but too much man bashing

Revisado: 07-26-24

I enjoyed the story but didn’t enjoy hearing how horrible men are throughout the book.

Meh

Nothing new here, I found the stories a little bit cliches. I would have liked to have seen something new and innovative.

I was expecting to learn the history of Caligula

Revisado: 05-11-23

Maybe it was my own lack of research before purchasing this book, but I was expecting the book to be more of a history of Caligula. This book although entertaining was pretty much all fiction. Now I feel I need to find another book That is actually the history of Caligula‘s rule.

Quite an amazing read

Revisado: 05-09-22

I’ve read a lot of true crime books but this one takes the cake. I had heard of Richard Kuklinski and knew he was a mafia hitman however I didn’t realize The extent of his path of destruction. I would recommend this book to anyone that reason studies true crime.

The blueprint for how to write good mafia books.

Amazingly good story which inspired the great movie series. This book started it all and is worth multiple reads.

Author keeps spoiling each story

Revisado: 11-23-21

The author keeps spoiling the stories by giving a summary of each story before he actually tells it. Just tell the story.

A little disappointed compared to previous books

Revisado: 02-11-18

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Honestly, it seems like maybe Preston and Child rushed this book. It seemed to lack a little bit of their usual detail and character development. As I was reading it seemed like I knew what was going to happen before it happened and it seemed to be missing some of the good stuff that the other Pendergast books contain.

Would you be willing to try another book from Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston ? Why or why not?

Yes, I love this series, I think that they just missed on this one.

I wasn't expecting the book to be about ETs

Revisado: 02-10-18

What would have made The Mothman Prophecies better?

I would like to have heard only the facts and history about mothman related incidents. It seems like this book turned into a rally for UFO and alien buffs. I'm not saying I believe or disbelieve in this subject, i'm just saying that it wasn't what I expected it to be.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It had great stories, I just didn't feel like the book was devoted to the mothman story
