1.0 out of 5 stars No depth, 27 April 1998
By A Customer
Aside from this book being a Steven King wannabe, I found that it lacked depth in both plot and character. It seemed more like a very long synopses than a complete story. Symphony jumps around way too much and hasn't the cohesiveness of a well-planned composition. I found way too many loose ends by the finale and too many sour notes throughout. I won't be reading any of the next three books in the series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to read. Hard to follow., 12 Feb 1998
By A Customer
I enjoy fictional books that use Biblical themes as a basis. This book was written using a biblical theme but not from a biblical perspective. The lead character was far from a biblical hero. But my biggest complaint was - I wasn't sure who was speaking during the dialogue portions or who they were speaking to. Many times the characters would be in a group and the author used "he said" or "she said." Who's speaking to whom? I dunno. I don't want to be unkind but I'm not interested in finding out what happens in the sequel.

1.0 out of 5 stars I don't get it..., 5 May 1999
By A Customer
This book, however long, was extremely tedious. The remarkable beginning gave you an assumption that this book would be excellent, while it was not, seeing to drag on and on and on. It also seemed to be completely copying off the superb Steven King books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Millennium fever.
A cover blurb states that reading 'Symphony' is a lot like watching 'The X-Files.' Maybe it was the bees, but I think it more appropriate to compare it to Chris Carter's other... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good opening book for a quartet
I feel this book, although confusing at times, was well worth the read. It definitely keeps you guessing, yet still interested in who has to do with what. Read more

I thought this book was good. I'll admit, it's not the best, and at times can be confusing, but the confusion fits the format. It's definitely an interesting read. Read more
