Summary: Doesn't quite hit the spot
Comment: While I really enjoyed RELIC, I didn't find myself feeling quite the same about Reliquary. I liked the way the book started out, I liked the premise of the book and thought it was interesting, and as always, I enjoyed Pendergast and D'Agosta. Unfortunately, I felt that there were way too many subplots. There were too many different people doing too many different things. It got distracting at times. If you liked Relic, you will probably like this book, but don't expect it to thrill you quite as much.

Customer Rating:

Summary: another great thriller
Comment: While I agree this book wasn't as good as Relic, it certainly was an admirable follow-up to it. Storylines left hanging in Relic were resolved albeit perhaps not in the most exciting of ways. What I read in this book enticed me to purchase The Mole People to find out more about the underground world brought out in the book.

Summary: Another Page Turner by Preston and Child
Comment: The authors have written another thriller. I had to read the next chapter but neglected my tasks to do so. The authors gave substantiating data on the underground of Manhattan. However the ending was not in the characters' former behavior. Although it was a true page turner it lacked a believable ending. This book was not as good as The Relic nor the Book of the Dead the I have read by the authors.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent!!
Comment: Though not as good as the Relic, this was still very enjoyable and I've read it twice. It was nice to see the return of a lot of people from the first book - Smithback, Margo Green, D'Ambrosio, and of course Pendergast. Lt. Haywood was a good character as well and I'm glad to see that she appears in future books as well.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Different but good.
Comment: Even though it has the same characters from Relic the story and actions are very different. Even though it was different I would recomend this book because it is well written and keep my attention the whole way through.

Editorial Reviews:

Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beat. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.
