A review by lakecake
Fellowship of Fear by Aaron Elkins

3.0

I'm a big fan of the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs, and I felt like Gideon Oliver was really the pre-cursor to "Bones" so I was excited to read this! It's also one of my dad's favorite series, so double excitement. I enjoyed the story, but I felt like it started too quickly--I spent most of the book feeling like I missed something. I think it was just an attempt to make the excitement begin on page one, and it certainly did, but without a little bit more lead-up, I felt sort of lost and never was able to shake that feeling. I'm looking forward to reading another--now that I've got a better idea about Gideon the character, some of that introductory stuff will be out of the way and we can really just zip right into it.
