New Pompeii Daniel Godfrey Books

I truly had high hopes for this book, but if fell short of the mark for me. The opening is one of the best I've read - it quickly grabbed my attention and made me eager to read more. It was one of those starts where you wish you had started reading earlier in the day so you could read it start to finish. Things went down from there.

Advertised as a "race to control renewable power, an energy giant stumbles on a controversial technology: the ability to transport matter from the deep past," it was more about the transport, the city, and its people - modern and ancient. What I had thought might be a novel of intrigue and suspense, it was instead the Pompeii version of Westworld with the citizenry a mix of modern and human rather than human and cyborg.

While a fan of ancient history, I found this book disappointing. It was almost as if it tried to be too much, and was not successful in its execution. It held my interest enough to finish reading (though admittedly, a book has to be pretty bad for me to give up), but I didn't find it interesting enough to care about the characters or want to read the next book in the series. I did enjoy the thought and care taken in doing research for the book, and I truly held high hopes for the story - it just fell short.

As with everything, YMMV. That said, my recommendation would be to check it out at the library, then if it's something you enjoy, consider buying the series. I wish I had.

New Pompeii Daniel Godfrey Books Reviews

To be honest, I didn't finish the book. Ordinarily I'm not one to leave a book, but this one is an exception. Too predictable, slow as molasses in January, and paper thin characters.
I thought this was a fun read. Historical details, and weird time stuff. Once I started reading I couldn't pull myself away.
Really enjoyed how this book unfolded so smoothly. I'm wondering when it will be made into a movie. Can't wait for the second book to come out.
Liked it immensely! Great twist to build a copy of Pompeii and see the effect. We visited the real Pompeii several years ago and the realism was woven in the tale. The historic information was A plus.
I enjoyed it throughout. Part mystery, part sci-fi, part historical fiction, all fun. Good read! I am looking forward to the sequel.
New Pompeii offers a compelling notion the meticulous recreation of the famous lost city and the ability to populate this new city with actual ancient Pompeiians. Part thriller/part science fiction, the characters are well drawn and the pace of the novel builds to a satisfying crescendo. Highly recommended!
Gripping, energetic story with well-rounded characters who travel between incredible plot twists. A good read. Looking forward to the sequel.
