I gave up. I haven’t actually finished it. I got half way through and it’s been so slow it bored me. I think this is the first time I’ve given up on a book.

this book was just OK. it was very very slow in the beginning and never really picked up any speed. the characters were shallow and not well developed. I never cared for them. over all a mediocre book.

It was the most boring book I have ever read!!!
I should have abandoned it after few chapters! But I decided to give it a try... A mistake, as I discovered!

Joyce kept me interested with the connectivity between eras much the same as David Gibbons. A good read for those that enjoy archaeological fiction.
