RevelationBuddyRead

Finished the first section of Revelation. How are you both doing? @EadieB @Tove_Reads #RevelationBuddyRead

EadieB @Andrew65 I finished it last night. 6y

Tove_Reads I‘m done for the day. Yesterday was a bad day, so I wasn‘t on Litsy. What is Jack up to? He‘s being an idiot. What, how or who made Adam “possessed”? Who is the murderer? What is adam‘s part in the murders? 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Hope things are better today 👍 This section did lead to more questions than answers. Jack is most definitely being an idiot, especially given their relationship in the last book. Adam‘s behaviour is very strange. Bedlam sounds absolutely awful! I to wonder if this is connected to the murders. Much still be revealed. (edited) 6y

Tove_Reads I just realized there‘s a new book in the series! Came out this month! It‘s a chunkster 🙂 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I think Jack is in a deep funk because of his wife losing the baby. @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Jack is acting like a total idiot. A victim of the times he lived in. Now finished both the first two sections. @Tove_Reads 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Aren‘t they all Chunksters! 6y

EadieB @andrew65 @Tove_Reads Finished section 2 6y

Tove_Reads Done for the day! 🤔 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads What do either of you think about Piers? And what about Guy‘s reaction to him. I‘ve now finished the third section. @EadieB 6y

Tove_Reads Can‘t wait for tomorrow! So far this has been my fave in the series. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I finished 3rd section too. Piers is very suspicious. “Piers seems too have a hold on Guy” said Shardlake in today‘s section. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Piers is not coming across well and Guy seems to be blind to him! @Tove_Reads Now finished all but the last section. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads One more section to go for me too! 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads It is an enjoyable read but not particularly enjoying the revelation theme of it. Sovereign, the last one, was my favourite and don‘t think this one will knock it off its perch. @EadieB 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Close run thing on Goodreads. Sovereign at 4.33, Revelation at 4.35 both very high ratings! @EadieB (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @tove_reads Why don‘t you like the revelation theme? I like all the books the same. Will probably give them all 5 stars. (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Possibly too religious for me and having trouble buying into it and this being the reason for the murders. Really enjoying the Bedlam and Adam sections. Not sure I care too much for the people that have been murdered apart from Roger. Also Barack needs someone to shake him, at this rate he is going to lose his wife, acting like a real jerk! @Tove_Reads 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Depends how this one ends, could either end up as 4, 4.5 or 5. At the current time would give it 4.5 - the ending is everything. Sovereign got 5+ and a ❣ throughout. Loved the presence of Henry VIII in that one, and the ending was truly superb. @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Sansom is just using Revelations from the Bible as a reason for the serial killer‘s motive. The whole series has religious connotations. I only care about Roger too but I am also interested to find out who the murderer is. (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Also I‘d like a few more clues to the killer. Sansom does write a great book. @Tove_Reads 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I haven‘t got a clue who the killer is. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Me either. 6y

Tove_Reads @andrew65 @EadieB I‘m a sucker for these themed murders, like seven sins etc. I‘m not religious at all, but religion at that time was so important, and so much of what we now see as normal sayings and beliefs are based on religion. I found it fascinating! 6y

EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 You can‘t take the religious parts too serious. You just have to understand that was their beliefs and how it fits into the story. I really have enjoyed all the books so far and find them very interesting too. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB You have to say they are superbly written! @Tove_Reads 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! 👍🏼 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Have Finished now, don‘t think the ending of this one was as strong as the last one. Loved the ending of that book though. @Tove_Reads 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! The last book was more exciting! @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Yes exciting is the right word. Didn‘t feel the same tension in this one at the end. @Tove_Reads 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I only really cared about Roger. The other were all secondary characters that we hardly got to know! @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Yes That is very true, and this led to a lack of emotional engagement. As said previously much preferred the Barak and his wife storyline 😢, and the Adam and Bedlam storyline. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes those parts were the real story. The religious part was as I said just for the serial killer plot. @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

Tove_Reads I felt so sorry for Shardlake at the end ☹️ 6y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I agree 😢 @EadieB 6y

EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 I think he will have a relationship with Ellen in the next book. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Isn‘t he a bit old for her? @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 He seemed very interested in helping her to go outside of Bedlam. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB I thought this was just his penchant for helping waifs and strays, like the boy he took into his household. @Tove_Reads 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I think he needs a relationship but Dorothy moved. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB He Definitely needs a relationship. @Tove_Reads 6y
