Indiana Jones and the Genesis Deluge

Summary: Excellent Indy book
Review: I must say that I looked forward to reading all these Indiana Jones books. I had picked one of the newer ones at my schools library and it was great. Thus, I went to Amazon.com and bought the whole series. However, I have since read the first 5 in the series and am very disappointed. They were just terrible. In fact, they are getting worse and worse by the book. I guess I don't find the books to reflect the world of Indiana Jones. There is too much mystical elements and the theme it too far-fetched. This book was the worst of the lot though. I had to force myself to finish it one night and up to the end I was not impressed. Oh well, I will finish the series eventually (but not for awhile...I can't bring myself to start the next one yet).

Summary: Pretty good
Review: Overall, I thought this was a pretty good Indy novel. It didn't have me as spellbound as _Dance of the Giants_, but the locales, plot, and variety of characters (Bolsheviks, Chicago mob, Janissaries) are enough to make it a worthwhile read.

Summary: A product of mass production
Review: This book aims low and achieves its mark. If you want action, this book has it. And MacGregor has done his homework regarding the details of Arkeology. But the book has little else. The plot is largely predictable. Difficulties are overcome by paranormalism and luck rather than by skill. The characters have some dimension but still come off as stereotyped. In short, the book has no depth. It is entertaining, but there are plenty of other books in the world that offer entertainment *and* high quality.

Summary: A good read but, Indy's not tough enough
Review: This was the first Indiana Jones novel I had ever read, it won't be the last. I really enjoyed it and found the book to be just as exciting as the movies. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of Turkey and the many twists and turns of the plot! By the time the book was over I was ready to read another. I just ordered three more and plan to read them all. Good for readers of all ages. A thrilling respite from "heavy" reading and a pure joy for those adventurous of spirit!

Summary: A good read but, Indy's not tough enough
Review: This was the fourth Indy book by MacGregor I've read.
Like the rest, I found it well-written but dry at times.
There tends to be less action than the movies but, in it's
defense, his charactization of Indy is pretty close.
On the most positive note,this book kept more with the movies than the previous ones did, as there is a race to gain a Biblical artifact; and some religious issues were touched on between the opposing sides.
Personally, the most negative point I found was Indy spends most of book either captured or getting beat up and THEN captured.
Granted, I know we're talking about a younger Indy here and he
doesn't have his later experience but, he's still Indiana Jones.
Let's bust a few heads already. We're four books in now and the
action is still lacking.
