Entangled

Graham Hancock is british journalist who writes non-fiction books about ancient mysteries, new age and forgotten history - not only I love the subjects he covers but his writing is very engaged & passionate, therefore I actually buy his books without reservations.

In the past, I have read "Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization", " The Sign and the Seal: The Quest for the Lost Ark of the Covenant" and "Supernatural: Meeting with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind" (the last one was my absolute favorite and could read it again) - now recently I stumbled upon his first fiction novel "Entangled". Actually I should have been more careful when I'm buying books, because, you see, I was not even aware it was fiction - had I knew it, maybe I wouldn't bother.

Hancock's name was the best possible recommendation so I bought the book without realizing (until much,much later) it is not his usual non-fiction work about ancient civilizations/aliens/mysteries. It is actually a fiction work, a novel. My disappointment was so big that I left the books aside for months until I finally decided to check it out. Several things are recognizable Hancock, namely the way he connects ancient civilizations, mysterious Amazon potions and human unconscious mind - he wrote about this in his previous work but here he uses it as a part of his fictional plot. It is a adventure story that connects two characters who live in completely different eras, namely 21 century girl and her stone age counterpart - the only way they can be connected and fight together against mutual enemy is trough drugs or magic potions that alter mind (during these sessions they are both guided by angelic presence but its clear this is just one of the many faces of spiritual being). Since he tries to follow two parallel stories sets in different time zones, Hancock juggles between two different centuries which is a bit annoying as reader is never allowed to relax in one time and simply enjoy the story - just when you start really getting into it, another chapter brings you back to present time and so on. Stone age story (reminiscent of "Clan of Cave Bear") was actually gripping enough to make me skip the other story completely and just read the chapters about Neanderthals. Another thing I disliked was - the language. In his non-fiction work Hancock is very passionate, convincing, energetic and enthusiastic, very well informed and obviously stands behind his words. Here, creating a complete fictional world, he writes very much like script for an action movie - for example, his characters would say "What the fuck?" - a lot of swearing - where non fiction work had a sense of wisdom and adventure, his fiction novel feels a bit adolescent, with swearing, sex and graphic violence. I shouldn't really complain as I read the novel in a few days and couldn't put it down (he leaves the end open for possibility of sequel) but still it wasn't what I expected from Hancock and I wish he continues writing non fiction instead.(less)

I find Graham's non-fiction to be fascinating and the DMT drug really is this strange, so it's great to find it in fiction even though much of the research has actually occurred. However, suspension of disbelief is critical in this supernatural thriller where Leoni and Ria meet across time in a strange intermediary world and are recruited by the Blue Angel to save humankind against the embodiment of evil, Sulpa/Jack. It's a cosmic battle and so there are some heavy passages that can be confusing...more

It made me afraid to be alone, etc., because Sulpa was so real. I have dreams now where Sulpa-like figures lurk. Probably it affected me like this because of Hancock's statements that the story was "downloaded" to his brain by a figure in the ethereal realms of ayahuasca. While I was reading it, I comforted myself by latching onto what I saw as flaws-- the implausibility of Leoni, a dumb teenaged LA coke whore (regardless of the sinister causes of her being this way), somehow becoming capable of not only a fantastic British vocabulary, but also unparalleled athletic strength and altruistic heroism; the little detail that Leoni had always been afraid of jungles, something that a Californian urbanite would have no occasion to fear; the fact that exceptionally short, 16-year old Ria was able to kill men with thrown rocks, which I'm pretty sure is physically impossible (and having once been a small 16 year old girl and fighter myself, I also know that her other large-man-beating abilities are totally impossible in real life); and the absurdity of the idea of a doctor and researcher having legal clout to induct a minor into not only a hallucinogenic drug study at a university, but also flying said specific minor and no others into the Amazon to do ayahuasca outside of the actual research.
However, when I was all finished reading the whole book, I closely read all of Graham Hancock's notes and acknowledgments, searching perhaps for more closure after the cliff-hanger ending, and all of my comforting thoughts of plot flaws to make it less real were defeated as he pre-countered each argument with his trademark sound reasoning and appropriate disclaimers. His notes highlighted, in sum, I think, the fact that extraordinary things happen all the time, and have happened throughout history, and so things that might seem unbelievable are actually true nevertheless. I'm now left with perhaps a childish feeling, which does nothing at all to dispel bogeymen, that somehow the whole story is rooted in true events in other places in both time in space. Whether or not it is, that's the mark of good writing--the creation of that element of closing your blinds with a shudder at night, forcefully trying to avoid wondering whether some character from that harmless book is really out there, or will be out there if you continue to think about it.(less)

Yeah I've got all of his records!

Graham Hancock started out as a travel journalist and then moved into historical sleuthing which is when I first came across his work (The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods). What I loved about his stuff was that he was obviously very passionate and enthusiastic about his research and that came across completely in his writing to such an extent, that even potentially mundane topics such as the age of the pyramids or detailed descriptions about astrological precession became exciting page turners!

For me, some of his more recent work, whilst still excellent seemed to have lost a little oomph. Now, with Entangled, I was aware that he was writing a fiction book to get across ideas that would attract too much criticism and ridicule if they were presented as fact. I'll be honest, I was expecting something similar to The Celestine Prophecy or The Da Vinci Code, ie, a book desperate to get ideas across with a superficial plot and basic prose to carry these ideas along - not that I am knocking these books, I have enjoyed them and will continue to recommend them to others.

The last reason for my trepidation is a more personal one. This is my year of change. I'm trying very hard to become aware of and break bad habits, whilst hopefully creating newer better habits. As a consequence, I have become very conscious and protective over how my time is spent. I have given up on watching TV completely. I haven't given up on fiction books, but I have started several this year that have not engaged me and they have quickly been returned to the shelf after only a few pages.

I needn't have worried, Graham Hancock, is back to his best!

Entangled has, without doubt, surpassed all of my expectations. It is very well written, there is a depth to the main characters that allows for empathy, the plot flows and most importantly, that spark, that oomph is back.

There is science and pseudo-science involved in the story, but it is fitted in on the whole as part of the story, and there was only one (short) point in the book when I felt it nearly slipped into lecture mode. Let me reassure you, this book can be enjoyed without knowledge of, or even contemplation of the science behind it, it really is a brilliant, easy to read piece of fiction. You also don't need to be familiar with any of Hancock's previous non-fiction work, but if you are new to him through this book, I would definitely recommend his work.

Entangled reads like a thriller because, er, that's exactly what it is! Each chapter is told from the viewpoint of either Ria or Leoni. It is fast paced, exciting and features lots of battle scenes which in some ways you don't even notice as you find yourself unable to put the book down and trying to read one more chapter to find out what happens next!

Hancock does not shy away from either using industrial language when appropriate or inserting the gory details of the fights, and this is a credit. Too much entertainment nowadays tones down both violence and language in an attempt to gain wider audiences. Hancock has a story to tell, and tell it he does, superbly.

My only real criticism is the fact that this book whilst it can be read and enjoyed in isolation, is the first in a series. How many books will form the series, I don't know. There's no mention of it on the cover nor in any of the (limited) blurb that I have read. If I had known, in all likelihood, I wouldn't have started this until the series was complete, but that's just me. I haven't started Thomas Covenants Third Chronicles as an example even though I am desperate to and won't until it has been completed.

5 stars, and highly recommended to everyone.(less)

Hancock has demonstrated that he is a good fiction writer, and some aspects of the story are very imaginative and thought-provoking. But I didn't like the story for a couple of reasons. One is that it has a very strong feminist influence, many of the men in the story act horribly, and I don't know of any historical precedent for men acting the way they are portrayed in the book. The author tries to maneuver the reader to cheer on the main character, and other females she influences, when they ca...more

In the acknowledgments for his novel Entangled, Graham Hancock doesn’t just thank his family and his editor, but also “Ayahuasca,” the “visionary brew” used by Amazonian shamans to make out-of-body journeys into the realm of spirits. He also explains that the novel’s premise, characters, and plot resulted from visions brought to him by Ayahuasca.

He also explains that the novel’s premise, characters, and plot resulted from visions brought to him by Ayahuasca. Given that information, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Entangled is — and I am choosing my words carefully here — a seriously weird book.

Leoni is a troubled teenager in present-day Los Angeles. She has a near-death experience after a drug overdose, travels to a mysterious spirit realm and meets the Blue Angel, who explains that she is an important participant in the fight against Sulpa, an evil spirit from the same realm who is attempting to manifest in our world.

Meanwhile, Ria is a prehistoric teenager living 26,000 years ago. (And yes, I realize “meanwhile” and “26,000 years ago” don’t usually belong in the same sentence. Bear with me.) When she saves a young “Ugly” (Neanderthal) from being killed by youths from her clan, Ria discovers that this (now extinct) humanoid species has mysterious powers, including telepathy and magical healing. Already hated because they look different, the Neanderthals are now the victims of an attempted genocide by the Illimani tribe, who are under the control of Sulpa.

The “meanwhile” part of the last paragraph is directly connected to the novel’s title: Leoni and Ria eventually find out that time doesn’t move in a linear way from the past to the future, but rather follows a complex path full of loops and curves. Because of this, even though they live 26,000 years apart, their lives have become “entangled.” Leoni learns from the Blue Angel that, during her out-of-body experiences, she can spiritually travel far into the past to help Ria save the Neanderthals, because their continued survival is vitally important for the future of the world...

Despite this original (to put it lightly) premise, Entangled unravels because of a few unfortunate shortcomings. The main issue with the book is its structure: 99 very short chapters, usually only 3 or 4 pages long, alternating between Leoni and Ria. These chapters are so short that the reader never really gets the chance to be immersed in one character’s narrative before being forcibly switched to the other. The connection between the two stories isn’t very strong until well into the second half of the novel: you know there’s a link, but you’re still pretty much reading two separate stories, set 26,000 years apart. Worst of all, a disproportionately large amount of these mini-chapters end on cliffhangers, which initially can be a bit jolting — and later on frankly becomes hugely annoying. If only we’d gotten 20-30 pages per story at a time, and fewer cliffhangers, this novel would have been much more enjoyable.

There are a few other issues, but none of them are as problematic as the novel’s structure. Some readers may be shocked at the incredibly graphic and gory descriptions of violence, torture, mutilation and rape. If you have a weak stomach, this novel may not be for you. As for the characters, Ria is definitely a strong female protagonist, but it’s hard to connect with her (although readers who enjoy prehistoric fiction in the vein of Jean M. Auel may feel differently.) The present-day character Leoni is more recognizable, but unfortunately not very likable until later in the story. The cast of side characters has very little depth: they are basically just vehicles to move the plot along, either by guiding Leoni towards her spiritual journeys or helping Ria in her quest to save the Uglies. Finally, Entangled is the first book in a projected trilogy, and even though there’s a solid climax, it ends on yet another tremendously annoying cliffhanger.

In the end, despite its problems, Entangled is still an action-packed and often entertaining novel with a highly original concept. After all, it’s not every day you find a story in which the two protagonists live 26,000 years apart but still influence each other. Graham Hancock has obviously done a tremendous amount of research and invested a lot of time and effort in creating this story. Unfortunately, after the 20th or so mini-chapter ending on a cliffhanger, I genuinely had to fight the urge to launch Entangled across the room. Still, if you’re interested in shamanism, time travel or prehistoric fiction, or if you have anything by Carlos Castaneda on your bookshelves, Entangled might be right up your alley.

The internet hype about this book started cranking during the summer, and I was so excited to hear it. I first heard mention of this book from the author himself, 3 years ago. He was here in Vermont as the keynote speaker for the Earth Spirit Conferences. His keynote address was fantastic. The next day I happened to sit at the same table for lunch as Mr. Hancock and his family, and we discussed his books, all of which had been non-fiction at that point. Talk then turned to his writing fiction for the first time, and I remember the feeling of excitement he had for this new adventure, which was quite contagious.

Well, here it is, and what a story! Graham Hancock is as equally adept at fiction as he is at non-fiction. We’re drawn in from the get-go—and I was delighted to find that this 50-something British white male very convincingly portrays the two main characters; one, Leoni, a young white woman from 21st century America, the other Ria, a prehistoric teenage girl living 24,000 years in our past. The tale is one of great adventure, and skillfully weaves the two timelines together with ease. It is a page-turner, and you’re caught up in the chase with the heroines while your learning a few things, too. To quote from the acknowledgements, “There is a considerable research background to Entangled in fields as diverse as neuropsychology, consciousness, quantum physics, shamanism and palaeoanthropology.” Graham Hancock is known for his research, and with that background he builds the foundation for a very believable story.

Since I can’t improve upon it, I’m going to quote from the inside front flap, a quote by the author of The Steampunk Trilogy: “This … tale … might have been written by J.K. Rowling—if Rowling had apprenticed herself for seven years with Mary Leakey, seven years with Carlos Castaneda, and seven years with Robert Crumb.” That about sums it up. My one complaint about the book is the sudden ending; it’s a doozy of a cliffhanger—the sequel can’t come any too soon for this eager reader. Graham Hancock knocked this one out of the park, and hopefully further adventures of Ria and Leoni are well under way.
