La stanza segreta dello zar

The Amber Room was really fun to listen by Scott Brick, I have been St. Petersburg and got to see the Amber when I was on tour there from a cruise. Steve Berry is a really good author

Oh Amber Room , how did I hate thee? Let me count the ways... - Every German says "und" (instead of "and") even as they're speaking English. - Women say "Damn you" to the man they're about to sleep with. -"Damn" used in every other sentence: "The trail was easy to follow.

I have one word that sums up my feelings for this book, and unfortunately, 90% of The Amber Room's dialogue content: "Hardly." Defined: 1.Only just; almost not; barely: We had hardly reached the lake when it started raining. hardly any; hardly ever. 2. not at all; scarcely: That report is hardly surpr Leggi tutto

I didn't much like DaVinci Code, but since I met Steve Berry and liked what he had to say about writing, I thought I'd give this one a try. I may now be in love with the genre.

with such a fascinating (and real) historical subject, it's hard to put into words just how horrifyingly awful berry's execution of this story is. i noted that a lot of people like this. gave it 4 stars even. how is this possible? i am tempted though, to read more of berry's work. it's almost inspiri Leggi tutto

Wow! Berry's 1st outing is about as good as his others..., Being that this was Steve Berry's first book and I read his books out of order, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was as well-written as his more recent outings.
