Once I read the prologue, I knew I was in for an action packed story. Within those first chapters I think the setting is created effectively, and flowed in action for Peter the main character. The transitions are smooth, and the dialogue is sharp and appropriate for the characters. Eg. Military man Bonnet is giving orders in Iraq to subordinates and this comes across effectively. What makes this book above average are the descriptions. From character development, the occult and sub-plots,With really spine-wrenching content, this book had me read obsessively like I haven't done in ages..
Great fiction thriller. Plenty of historical information weaved in with a fictional tale about a man's journey to find an author of an old occult book. Danger and intrigue follow him as he travels the world for answers. Definitely worth reading...
Once I finished the prologue of Simon W. Clark's thriller The Book of Occult, I was immediately hooked. There is something about the way this author strings his words together that is evocative, real, and utterly captivating. I did most of my reading for the book on my way to and from work on the train, and every single time, I never wanted to get out!There is quite a wide variety of different genres in this book. I felt that every chapter had something new to offer me, so I would never get
My friend recommended I read Simon W. Clarks The Book of Occult because she knows I love books about the occult. She likened it to 'The Da Vinci Code', which we both enjoyed. I was immediately hooked after reading the prologue. Peter's quest to find the meaning behind his childhood friends death leads him to Paris, years later, for answers. The book was perfectly paced and filled with action, intrigue, and suspense. Even better, the author was able to come up with a perfect ending to his story,
This was a ripping thriller that for me took occult and mystery to the next level. I loved the flow through the story telling and the well crafted plots. The danger that the main character Peter encounters mixed with the original style of the author. Also liked the mix of technology with esoteric theories. A superb tale that combines real with fantasy in a believable and exciting tale. Couldn't put it down till I was finished so great effort from this author.
While I am someone that doesn't often read books like this, I found it all very interested. Clark's writing style kept things interesting, and his knowledge of the subject was wonderful, as it made the story much easier to believe. I am now compelled to read more books of this genre, and am excited to see what more he writes in the future.Alternating between two very different men looking for similar answers, this story stayed interesting from start to finish. While Bonnet was not favorable, it
