Very good book and worth the read but not at 16.99.

This story is worth a 4.5 but I can't give it a 5 so take that into account. The characters are well developed and the story is interesting. The writing is good to very good. I will not go into details about the story as the blurb takes care of that. You will not be disappointed.
 I must have bought this book when it was on sale at book bub. So having payed no more than 2.99(?) I got a real bargain. HOWEVER, I see the book is selling for 16.99 for the e-book. REALLY, 16.99 is that absolutely crazy or what? Would I ever pay that kind of money for this book, never. Maybe the author has no say in the price (IE if he is published by one of the big houses) So no offense to the author.

I enjoyed the book but it was missing that certain something from her earlier work. It did not  really clearly delve into the gray area that our hero is trapped in....but regardless it was an enjoyable read.... What bothers me is that I go to the expense of a kindle to purchase books for a little less and find that the price is higher now that the paperback....many of my favorite authors now have very high prices. The cost of downloading a book vs producing a paperback is very profitable, so why the higher prices. People really should ask that questions....because this is a shame.

I was thrilled when I realized there were extraneous books about Bauch and Broach as I find them creepy and amusing at the same time within the original series (which I love).  I, however, made the mistake of ordering sight unseen at full price...$25 for a 120 page book is not smart.  The book was good, nice history of the pair, especially in regards to Emancipor's hiring, but look for a deal.

Enjoy

Good book - even at the regular $10 price it would certainly be worth it.

I truly loved reading this book. The storyline was very entertaining and you could tell Sherrilyn did her research on Mayan history. The dialogue was fan-flippin-tastic! I will definitely read it again. But the story was shorter than from what I've experienced with her books. It was also $13.00 and some change. It wasn't a long enough book for $13.00 at all. I have another author whose books are fantastic and are about the same length but she only charges 2.99 for her books....... I was very disappointed and really don't feel I got my money's worth on this. If it was about $8.00 cheaper, then I'd say it was totally worth it. But for the short length it was, it really wasn't. Hell, even the Harry Potter books I got weren't ever as expensive.

Have read a preview and no dount this is a great book. I simply will not pay $16.99 for an e-book version of when publisher decides to lower price to say $11.99 and make this available to the mass public I will happily buy it. A shame this is currently priced to just a niche audience.

I may changed my review after I have finished the book; it is interesting so far.  I may not give full stars though, because this book was listed as free - right up until I clicked on the 'buy it' button - then I got a screen saying it wasn't really free, it was $2.99.  That's still not much, and I went ahead and bought the book this time, but it doesn't seem right to trick potential readers that way.  Had I known the real price ahead of time, I wouldn't have objected; I just don't like to be tricked.

First as the author said in an earlier chat hope it was worth the wait well a 2.5 year wait is a bit long but I liked it. I do not expect this type of novel to be a great piece of literature as long as I get 3-4 hours of decent escapism I am happy specially when the price is totally reasonable at $2.99. I have seen the crazy prices of $16.99 for books worth around $7.99 I will never pay the crazy high prices the greedy publishers and will never pay that amount of money. The newer authors should be praised for stepping out from the dated publisher business plan and publish on their own until fat cat publishers realize that many more books would be bought at the $9.99 and below price for main stream authors and would make more profit on e-file books when selling in volume and save the forests and land fills in the process.

This is a good book but a different story than the first three books. Still enjoyed it but wish it had been 99 cents.

Great book.  Not my ordinary read. But I enjoyed this story very much.  It's a shame the second book is not free.  I've been burned buy stuff online so I refuse to get books or apps that cost.  But maybe I can find it at the library. Love the book though

Good book - well written - BUT I had no idea when I bought it that I was, in essence, getting a prologue. No beginning,middle and end, just the first of 5. - Let's see at $22.00 each retail, (much better at Amazon of course)x 5, we're talking real $$'s for 1 complete story. - Good story start, but too expensive a book for me. - Felt cheated that it wasn't more obvious on the cover exactly what I was getting.

This is a pretty good book. I personally found it an easier to read than Koch's original book which was a bit academic.

Also, I like the fact that it focuses 80/20 on sales and marketing.

I'm on Perry's list and got the book "free" for $7 shipping. It's definitely worth more than that, but I don't know that I'd pay $16 for it.

Then again I've got a ton of other books on marketing.

This is a good book, but this is not my kind of book. In fact, my book collection is filled with computer programming guides and 3D modeling techniques. I even have some college level math books scattered about. Out of maybe a hundred books, this is the only recreational one: Bountiful Famine. Well, I also have the last two HP books, which I read while watching the films.

Allow me to quickly summarize the first chapter. Then, I will give my own opinion of the book.

The story starts with a young boy waking from an unremembered nightmare. He cannot open his eyes, and he seems to be buried, and he is basically in a tough spot. He recalls brief portions of his life and realizes he is a slave. Then, chapter two begins with a rewind to the actual beginning of the story and continues to explain the main character's life experiences.

The book starts with a very weak introduction which may confuse some readers, but it gets much more enjoyable as the story continues. The dialogue was portrayed in a style that is easy on the eyes, as well. The author has impressive literary skills, but I often had moments when I wondered why certain things were described in a certain order. This is simply nitpicking on my part.

Overall, the book is worth more than $10 or even $15 to anyone who is looking for a well thought out story with a good narrative. There was not much in this story which really inspired me to think inward, but the story was enjoyable nonetheless.

I must say that Sheg is an author who will grow with you. I have read both his books, and I enjoy watching him grow as a creative writer.

Really good story. I enjoyed it. The protagonist's feelings about his job and outlook on life definitely hit home with me. The story did end abruptly I thought and that's why i gave it only 4 stars. Definitely worth $16.
