Better than 7 Deadly Wonders

I've been reading Matthew Reilly since I stumbled upon Temple about 6 years ago. I've been a big fan of Reilly ever since. Temple, Ice Station, and Area Seven are my favorites with Contest coming in behind them. I enjoyed the Hover Car Racer series and even picked up a copy of Hell Island through Ebay. Then there comes Scarecrow. The book had previous characters that I enjoyed and I enjoyed reading it but just didn't have the depth that my top three had, but was still enjoyable. When 7 Deadly Wonders came out I was really excited but that book just fell short for me. I was used to over the top action after Scarecrow but Wonders just had such a strange writing style that really took the reader out of the action and suspense and really just hurt the overall feel of the book. When I heard that Reilly's next book was going to be a sequel to Wonders I was pretty disappointed since it was by far my least favorite out of his other great books. The beginning of 6 Sacred Stones started out like Wonders with not enough descriptions, weird format for action sequences that took me out of the story, and too many ellipses/dashes/italicized words. But after getting through that first bit the action slowed down and the formating wasn't as over the top as Wonders. It does become sort of sad when I was actually looking forward for the action to stop so the awkward formating would also stop, but the non-action parts of the book were quite enjoyable and it is better to have more downtime and more storytelling when you are writing a story that takes more than one novel to complete. So to sum up a long review I liked it and I'm actually excited for another. Reilly will always be one of my favorite authors and hope the next gets even better.

Good entertainment.

Certainly no literary masterpiece, however it is very entertaining and introduces the reader to alternate theories about past Civilizations, which I find very thought provoking (A la Graham Hancock). It's a good read if you like this stuff. It can be a little far fetched at times but you just have to enjoy the ride. This is a continuation of Seven Deadly Wonders, so be sure to read that book first. You also have to wait for the author to release the conclusion to this story, so if you don't like 'to be concluded' titles this is not for you.

The 6 Sacred Stones

an amazing book filled with adventure!!! to all the haters of this book by Matthew Reilly, why read ficition if you do not want to escape from the reality of everyday life. This book was written well and filled with alot of twists and turns. alot of it is unbelievable and not plausible, but you know what, the book did what it was supposed to be: it wrapped me in an imaginery world and made me unable to put it down. i can not wait for the next installment of this series by Reilly!!! Great Job!
