Manda Scott has a flowing style with a rhythm that captures my imagination and my attention. Her writing is poetic and detailed at the same time; each word bringing more understanding and more images. I enjoyed reading The Crystal Skull tremendously and I know that I will read more of Manda Scott's books. As a matter of fact, I am planning to read as many as possible this year. Manda Scott is a talented writer, who is not afraid of researching the backgrounds of her stories, and totally deserves her success and more. I enjoyed this book! There were several good things about it... Ms. Scott does her research in terms of many things and her writing style is really good and easy to follow, even switching between two different characters. Also Ms. Scott keeps the mystery going till the very end. However, there were several things that I didn't like. One, the ending. It felt really abrupt and I felt that Ms. Scott didn't really explain what happened with the skull. Or at the last line with Kit writes about Jess... who's Jess? Also, Ms. Scott's use of a myth that doesn't really have anything do with the Myan myth... So weaving two different myths to make one thing about the entire 2012 myth is kind of weird. Overall, I did like this book!
Do You like book Het Verborgen Kristal (2008)?
As with Boudica this book is equally stunning.A good slant on the Mayan prophecy!
