Official Review: The Expansion by Christoph Martin

[akeseh]

If an expert read this book twice before understanding it then I wonder how a beginner like me will read and understand. A book that does not make any impact is not worth reading.

Thanks for the great review. I like stories that captivate me from the beginning to the very end. An upside to this book is that you gain knowledge about the Panama canal.

I'm reading this now, and I absolutely love it. I have to agree that the blurb gives a bigger promise than the book delivers on, however there is still a lot going on.

A spy thriller with a corporate corruption sub-plot does sound likes an interesting afternoon of escapist pleasure. Thanks for the review.

I read a few reviews on Amazon before I read this one, and a running theme is that the characters in the story aren't well-developed enough. When I was reading the summary, it reminded me of a James Patterson-style book. I like that you recommend it for people who enjoy a quick thriller. Great review!

[Seraphia Bunny Sparks]

Thank you for the enlightening review. The fact that the excitement and interest ebbs and flows is a bit of a downer for me. I like a book that keeps me excited throughout. I may still give this one a go.

I've seen this book out there, and it's on my shelf. I look forward to the read, the sample hooked me. This is one of my favorite genres, and I'm excited for this one. I'm sorry the book wasn't quite what you wanted it to be. I think I can get through a bit of slow pace if the overall book is good. It sounds like a good read. Thanks for the review.

[Tolentino]

I like it...nice.

[Frenjie]

The reviewer suggested that this previous book of the month is a good afternoon read. I will take note of that to remind me of the best time to read it. The book having a good editing review would make the reading perfect. Thank you for your interesting review.

[Emie Cuevas]

I too have written a review of this book, and I feel the same about the fast start and the end with nothing much between. Thanks for the great review.

[Snowflake]

Thanks for your reveiw. I really appreciated the additonal details about the relationships within the book and learning that it is actually fairly slow paced for most of the book.

[Acwoolet]

It sounds a bit disappointing, although a quick read is never a bad thing. Thanks for the great review!

[MarisaRose]

I’m not sure the premise of this one appeals to me, but I like the strong focus on characterization.

[Rebecca_Rivera]

The relationships in this one interest me. That's the biggest reason I put it on my "want to read" list. Hopefully it's good.

[CrescentMoon]

This definitely sounds like an interesting read to pass the time. I like revenge and betrayal themed books and it's cool to read about espionage and a spy thriller. It's a shame it wasn't as high action packed as you expected but I'm glad it was well edited overall. Great review!
