Reader Reviews
I've read other books by Child/Preston (Relic and Reliquary) and found them fun but the writing just a little rough. But Riptide, now--Wow! They have really hit their stride on this one. The pacing is great and the thought they put into how to approach the diabolically clever puzzle of the treasure pit is impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book right to the end, even sneaking out to sit in my car at work to finish it! In the first few pages of the book, we are introduced to the main character, Malin Hatch, as a boy, and see the gruesome tragedy that shadows the rest of his life, but that will not be fully explained until the end of the book. Then we skip forward thirty years. Ladies and gentlemen, THAT's what I call a "hook!" I was certainly hooked until the very end. I'm certain you will enjoy this roller coaster ride of a book.
