What do readers think of The Charlemagne Pursuit by Steve Berry? Write your own review.

I am a French teacher therefore Charlemagne caught my attention. Wish HE had been focused on more often in the book. It had a very interesting plot and scenery than other books. But it jumped around more than I liked. There were too many characters in the novel, so therefore, it was difficult to keep the jest of what was going on. It wasn't Berry's best novel.

Scott Brick's narration is usually good. but in the Steve Berry audibles he seems compelled to regularly drop his voice in some quasi-reverntial tone to dramatize certain descriptions. The result is an uneven listening experience; with the listener missing various words because of the volume irregularities; and overdramatized events. Eventually you get bored. With 10 hours to go, I am not going to listen to the rest of the book

A good story, fast moving, with no purpose. I found the only positive aspect of this novel was that it helped me pass the time. I gained nothing from the effort

I thought the book would be good, as I love history. But too many characters. They all blended into each other; I had to keep going over pagers to make sure who was who. Also the book repeats itself in some places, and the reader goes back to Charlemagne the person and Charlemagne the sub. I am a normal person who loves to read good books, to be taken to another realm of this world, away from everyday life. This book was too complicated in some parts. A good book should have twist and turns, but not too many that the characters blend into each other. Shame. This Basically as a good book for a long weekend, with nothing to do but read.
