“I noticed an interesting inconsistency in the novel. I am wondering if the two authors wrote these particular paragraphs separately without being mindful of the other's notes.Page 64: In terms of accommodations she is the roomiest vessel on the high seas [...] thousand-seat Belgravia Theater.Page 182: The Belgravia Theater was an extremely impressive space that took up much of the bow of Decks 2 through 5 [...] soon, despite its five-hundred-sear capacity and the late hour, the theater had filled.There's quite a difference between a 500 seat theater and a 1000-seat theater!”
“The Wheel of Darkness has a slow start as Pendergast and Constance enter a Tibetan Monastery for time away from the world. When an ancient item is stolen from the Monastery; the monks ask Pendergast for help. He agrees, chasing down the thief to an apartment in England. However, the thief had been horribly murdered. Pendergast tracks the stolen artifact to a cruise ship sailing on its maiden voyage. He and Constance board. Soon afterwards, people are being murdered in the cruelest fashions. The Wheel of Darkness proved to be a real page turner as the suspense begins. As always Preston and Child wrote another winner.”
“With the last book "the wheel of darkness" many open questions were answered. I am glad that Pentergast was helping Constance to find herself. That she got more secure in herself and could take revange later on. Still, it could have been better. The last view books i found more complex.”
“I just finshed the book and I have to say it's not what I expected but still a good read. I really liked the talk between Aloysius and Diogenes. I was glad to see that Diogenes had so thought about the welfare of his offspring. I wonder if Aloysius will raise it as his or if the child will really become a monk.”
“I just finished the book myself within 3 days. As with many of their books, it starts out kinda slow, but works it's way up to a gripping level. Now I did notice a few comment below, and do have to agree, there could have been more interaction involving Pendergast and the crew. But none the less, it was a good read. Preston & Child are fine authors who even though live far apart, have done a acceptional job with their combined writings.”
