[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7370711, member: 508"] Ugh. So I finished [i]Full Wolf Moon[/i] by Lincoln Child and contrary to expectations, I did NOT enjoy the ride. It was boring! I've read all of the previous novels in this particular series, starring enigmalogist Joshua Logan, and they've all been very good reads. Likewise, I've read all but the most recent of the Agent Pendergast series (I'm waiting for it to come out in paperback) by the same author and co-author Douglas Preston, and I've read all of the novels to date in their other co-authored series starring Gideon Crew, and I've read all of Douglas Preston's solo novels...and this is the first time either of them has disappointed me. So, I highly encourage those who haven't read works by either of the authors to give them a try...just stay away from [i]Full Wolf Moon[/i]. I would hate for potential readers to make their decisions about these authors and their shared worlds based on their impressions of this novel. It was an attempt at a scientific explanation for werewolves, and it just fell flat. Most of the novel was the main character not wanting to even get involved with the problem at hand, and then most of the subsequent "action" was him going around and talking to different people. Even the big (eventual) fight scene at the end was rather bland. All in all, it left a bad taste in my mouth. I seriously hope this was just a one-time misfire. I'm not swearing off Lincoln Child by any means...but boy, Lincoln, do you ever owe your readers a decent novel after this pile of garbage. Next up is a novel about a telepath trying to survive the modern-day world after the death of his wife, who was his "anchor" and helped shield off the constant barrage of other people's thoughts. It's called [i]The Hollow Man[/i], by Dan Simmons. I don't think I've ever read anything by him but I've heard some good things about him so I'm holding up hope for a good read. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
