The Golden Serpent by Nick Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
There’s a great story here. Too bad it’s so lightly written and and embroiled in so much sexual action.
The writing is fine in telling this story in 150 pages. But there was so much that goes unexplained. The whole Golden Serpent angle is something worthy of treatment by an author to write an epic, than this quick treatment. The characters are good, also. The writer does a great job defining the few characters involved but does little with them, I guess, due to page number restrictions.
I realize sex is such a staple of this version of the Nick Carter stories, but it’s been a few years since i read one, i’d forgotten how much it detracts from the book. I happened to pick up two of these last week and thought I’d wrap up the last ten books of the year with these. Curious about the other one anyway. It was published in UK and curious how it’s layout might change the reading of the book.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 5 out of ten points.
