Seven Ancient Wonders (0/0 people found this helpful)

Yes, Seven Ancient Wonders is the same as this newly titled book. This is down to the publishers not Mr Reilly. To those who have moaned about this book.... get a life for goodness sake!!!! My first Reilly book was 'Seven Ancient Wonders' and I am totally hooked. Think James Bond but working as team and without the superior attitude or the annoying sex and sexual overtones. This book if absolute fantasy and it should be read with that in mind. If you don't want to read fiction then don't read this book but don't criticise it either! I loved it and have now read its sequal Six Sacred Stones... please set that word processor on fire Mr Reilly because I'm on the edge of my seat :-)

I have read some of the other reviews on this book and frankly I can't see what all the fuss is about. OK so there were parts of the book that were more Indiana Jones than Indiana Jones but this is a work of fiction afterall. I haveto agree with one reviewer, having a nine year old girl shouting "swear jar" in the middle of a shoot out didn't appear to be too realistic neither was the fact that none of what happened seemed to emotionally scar her at all. With all that said I did read the book from cover to cover in one day and although it wasn't as good as James Rollins offering it was a page turner and did keep me hooked so I guess Mr reilly can't be doing that badly afterall. I do think that changing the book title was a little off but then I don't buy a book unless I know what is's about anyway regardless of author.

Don't blame the author for the name change (0/0 people found this helpful)

Don't blame the author for the name change, it is likely to be the publishers
playing marketing games, and don't take the content of the Matthew Reilly books too seriously. They are light reads, full of escapist action. If you want intellectual go somewhere else, if you want fun read his books.

Stop complaining - it's a great book (1/1 people found this helpful)

This book is yet again a fantastic read from M.R. containing his usual mix of killer animals, hi-tech weaponry and, at the same second, super-fast pacing!

Now for all those people who feel ripped off buying this book twice etc. If you are any kind of fan of any author then do some research on what books they have out. Matthew Reilly has a good website, then there's Wikipedia or even the US version of Amazon to find out what a particular book is about.

Sometimes authors don't have the rights to assert what the title of a book is going to be in any particular market. His publishers decided on this name for the US launch and then changed it. I can't see how that is necessarily M.R.'s fault.

How annoying ? (2/4 people found this helpful)

it has shocked me that it is legal to publish a book with a different title but reads word for word like the book published just before it.
i brought this thinking it would be another good read by matthew and found it reads and is identical to seven Ancient wonders.
I am discusted in this and will no longer be reading or buying this authors book just incase i get another duplicate.
