 Rating:  - good storyI just finished the 6 Messiahs. I was a little skeptical when I first started reading it; it seemed a little cheezy comparatively speaking to the List of Seven (total stunner, love that book). But after getting through that initial hurtle, the story began to pick up. I thought the ending, again, a little cheezy, but seemed to fit at least with regard to the Sparks brothers. The story lines were well intertwined and the climax of the book was full of surprises, action, and explanations. Not quite ... Read More Rating: - Review of The Six MessiahsThe Six Messiahs, sequel to The List of Seven, follows the (fictional) fortunes of Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle and the man who provided the inspiration of the famous literary detective, Jack Sparks. I enjoyed this book just as much as the prequel, with in-depth and meaningful characterisation - some characters from the previous book return and new ones are created. There is a great combination of history, humour, fantasy and horror, along with some detailed information about ... Read More Rating:  - This is a great sequel!In looking at some of the reviews here there seems to be an element of wistfulness for the List of Seven and an opinion that this is not as good as novel as it's precursor. I was fortunate enough to wait two years between reading the two, so while I can agree that this may not be as good as the List of Seven, which was a six-star book in my opinion, this is still a great, wonderful, compelling, and extraordinarily fun read. It's definitely still a five-star book in it's own right and I wouldn't have missed ... Read More Rating:  - not so bad, not so goodi enjoyed "the list of seven" so much that i rushed out to find "the six messiahs". i am disappointed because the story is not as interesting as "seven". it starts off promising, but sort of loses itself and starts to prattle along. the story lacks intensity and tries to develop too many characters, thus making man of the characters uninteresting. then, it just sort of ends - i wonder if there is a "five" book in the works? probably not as it has been nearly ten years.... it's worth a read, but you're not missing ... Read More Rating: - An entertaining sequelThough not as grabbing as the first novel, The List of Seven, this is still an fun and entertaining read. With the assistance of 5 other fun characters, Conan and an ally from his past join forces to battle a growing evil. With characters such as "the most dangerous man in the world", Frost once again entertains the reader with some exciting personalities. |
