I have read and own all the Child/Preston books, plus most of their individually-written books, in my personal home library. I've eagerly looked forward to each Child/Preston book as a chance to go on an often strange and always thrilling ride through the past, subterreanea, the supernatural, great horror, wonderful mystery, and more.I'ver enjoyed them all before this one because the richness and intricacy of their character and plot development, especially that of Pendergast, has been superbly crafted and made the books very special and exciting.Sadly, City of Endless Night completely misses the mark in all respects. It is, in essence, boring. Everyone seems to be sleep-walking through the book; there is no energy, even during the climactic action at the end of the book. And D'agosta has gotten colossally dumb somehow for a veteran street cop.This is, without a doubt, the worst book Child/Preston have ever added their name to. Before you criticize, remember, I have in my collection every single one of their volumes both collectively and individually so I think I have the reading creds to back my comments up.Perhaps the worst critique I can offer is that for the very first time with a Child/Preston book, I could not remember what was happening as I picked up the book again to continue reading. It seems I just did not care enough to vividly remember the story.I strongly suspect this was ghost-written like more and more authors are doing today. I just cannot believe that my contemporary literary idols Child and Preston, who individually now write such exciting and fascinating books, could have collaborated on this colossal waste of time and money.I shall investigate much deeper, and avoid pre-ordering before I plunk down my hard-earned loot for another Child/Preston book.From here on, if you want to read some still exciting page-turning books in the same vein, I highly recommend James Rollins as your author of choice. Rollins still writes like Child/Preston used to.Note to Child and Preston - I hope you get back on the roller coaster/scary house thrill ride you used to provide with your next (if there is one) book. I'm a devoted fan who would like to be able to believe in you again.
I've been a Preston & Child fan since "Cabinet of Curiosities." City of Endless Night does not even read like their work. Pendergast is somnolent--when he bothers to involve himself at all. The cops make stupid assumptions and mistakes--so out of character! Pages upon pages spent on a stupid chase, and the plot is juvenile with gratuitous violence. I spent over $15 for an ebook copy and it was money wasted. It's sad when you follow the work of two great authors only to see them deteriorate over time. The last few books have been awful and this one is the worst.
City of Endless Night is Preston and Child's 16th Agent Pendergast book and I have read them all at least twice. In most of them, the authors answer, in a Q & A section, the inquiry of whether their books have to read in order, or can they stand alone? I seem to recall that they recommend some books to be read in order, but they generally aim for the stories to stand on their own, independent merits. Well, I have to say, for the first time, that this has not happened. City of Endless Night is the first Pendergast novel that seems to be sketchily, hastily written, with flat characters, more than a little predictability—and it's just plain...dull. There are no hints of the bizarre and sometimes supernatural touches this time around—it's a straight murder mystery. Pendergast appears bored and listless and comes up with little that's new, prompting NY detective Vincent D'Agosta to exclaim over and over “Typical Pendergast! Classic Pendergast!†because it's the same old bag of tricks. D'Agosta himself is frustrated and angry from the first page to the last, quickly becoming tiresome and falling too easily into the killer's trap. None of the victims are likable—in fact, pompous New York Post reporter Bryce Harriman writes in several articles that they deserved to die! A silly subplot about a penniless preacher who's determined to save the sinners in a Central Park demonstration (already done in Pendergast #5, Brimstone) goes nowhere. At least we are spared the cold, insufferably snobbish presence of Constance Greene this time around, but if you haven't read the previous Pendergast books, parts of City of Endless Night will not make sense, and if this is your first Pendergast novel, there's likely nothing in it that will inspire readers to backtrack and explore the previous 15.
I have read every one of Preston and Child's Pendergast series. And while I have not always agreed with their direction (the silly, almost childishly slapstick murder of William Smithback) I have always enjoyed the books. Not every book in the series qualifies as one you cannot put down, but enough of them do to keep me coming back for more.While City of Endless night is not horrible, it simply seems not to be the authors' best effort. The pace is slow and halting through much of it, and even the endgame chase is not what I would call a page-turner. I was interrupted right in the middle of Pendergast's final battle with the villain and, rather than holding up a finger to plead for another moment in which to finish the chapter I found myself more than capable of putting the book down.Will I read the next Pendergast novel? Most assuredly. Will I be hoping and praying that the authors take some time to rediscover what has made this a beloved series, and perhaps rekindle their own excitement in the project so we avoid another lackluster effort? Definitely.
I agree with the other reviews. It was just lacking and not up to par. The ending was not believable. The sub plots so so. The epilogue was excellent. All in all, disappointing
A very weak effort.it was a disappointment after much anticipation. Not much of a plot.
