Very disappointed that this series just isn't that good. The first book, "Event," started off very slowly but really picked up near the end. "Legend," however, was just a slog throughout. I think these books in the hands of someone like Crichton, Matthew Reilly, or Preston/Child, could be quite good. But Golemon has so many ill-defined characters and pretty useless sub-plots, that it all just becomes a mess.

This book is about El Dorado. But there's more than gold in the Amazon jungle and several people are after it. I just found the book way too long, too convoluted, and too boring. ( )
