5.0 out of 5 stars Their best effort since Relic, 8 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thunderhead (Hardcover)
This book was fantastic and the best book I have read this early summer. It was the first book I read after being brutally disappointed with *Hannibal*, and what a breath of fresh air. Preston and Child have hit another winner with Thunderhead.

You will love Nora Kelly as the sometimes too-good-to-believe heroine. Bill Smithback has risen from the labyrinth under NYC to come to Utah with a flourish. The characters are much more interesting than those in Riptide, and the history lessons are first-rate. I found myself enjoying the story even before the last 150 page, thrilling finale. I would have been content just to read of the expoits of the archeologists and the history of the Anasazi.

Without a doubt, this is the best effort from Preston & Child since Relic. While there has been some criticism of their style becoming too "patterned", I think that their writing style and changes of venue give each book a compelling difference. This is a must read. If you have never read these authors, you will enjoy this (but absolutely go read Relic!) and look forward to their next effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent book!, 29 April 2007
This review is from: Thunderhead (Mass Market Paperback)
I have only read three books including this one by this duo but I can guarantee that you will never be disappointed with something they write. What I like about their style of writing is that they make it very easy for the reader to imagine the landscape where the novel is taking place. This book is based in the utah desert and they convey a fantastic atmosphere which makes for an enjoyable read. I also like the way that the authors place a supernatural element to what is essentially a treasure hunting adventure book.The characters in the book are very easy to relate to and it is only when the book comes towards its finish that you work out their true intentions. Although I managed to guess what was going to happen at the end of the book this certainly didn't deter me from finishing it and anyway I couldn't and didn't work exactly how those events would happen. In summary I would urge people to definately read this book but be prepared for some very late nights as it is simple impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well, they've done it again!, 28 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Thunderhead (Mass Market Paperback)
Whenever Preston and Child team up to write a book you can guarantee it'll be a winner. Having read all the previous novels I just had to get my hands on their latest release - not yet available in the UK. To my delight Thunderhead is every bit as exciting and tense as their other offerings. The pace is set at the beginning and doesn't relent, steeped in truth and realism a spell is weaved over the reader and he/she is immersed in a story of family, friends and a fight for survival. Once more, the evils from man's past are pitted against the ingenuity of his future - who will win? Read it and find out - an absolute must for anyone's bookshelf. I can't wait for 'The Ice Limit'.
