Reviews of Enigma

Hi, I’m a newbie here. Actually I was looking for a book called Enigma. I remembered the title but not who’d written it. Anyway, I googled Enigma and Smashwords came up.
So I thought, good going first choice, but Smashwords, needs registering for downloading books, second thoughts not a good choice.
But I registered anyway!
So I clicked on Enigma by Wolf Black (because it was the first book in the queue) and I read the reviews. I thought, more negative reviews than positive (some positive reviews looked like ‘made-up’ from friends or so due to them being short), but a few negative reviews from women, which got me intrigued.
Usually women have a less attention span than man, because by judging the feedbacks this book seems to be very detailed, way down to the nitty gritty, more detailed information about stuff/items?, and women…well it’s the attention span thing…. so I thought I’m gonna give this Enigma a try, after all it’s free.

Well, it took me 5 weeks to read this book approx. 6 times (so enjoyable), and boy, isn’t it detailed. You just have to read it over and over, you always find something new you haven’t noticed before. Most readers/reviewers write here that the attention to detail is annoying, boring and…too much of the same?
Of course it is not, that’s what makes the book special, standing out from the rest, it’s different, it’s classy, and it’s well written to the point. All this detailed information makes the characters more personal, and even lifelike, after all, in real life humans keep doing the same things over and over. So the book just hits the mark perfectly.
And basically you should read and re-read it. Yep, you get my drift.

And I loved how much thought went into what kind of clothes the characters wear, were it was bought, and what kind of cars the characters drive, and the detailed information about the cars.
If the character took off his coat over several pages, yep, I’d say ‘and why not’. Do it, be different, be adventurous, and be fresh.
But you can’t say nothing happened, because something did (He took off his coat).
Boring for some maybe, but excellently different. Skipping the pages (as one reviewer did), just proves my point, lacking attention span.

As for errors, typos and wotnot, you guys (and gals) ever read a book by Stephen King or JK Rowling, well, those novels are full of them, and they get away with it.
I’d say, so can he (she).

One thing though, this was not the ‘Enigma’ book I was looking for, but man, I didn’t care.

This book was very difficult to put down once I started reading. The characters kept developing throughout the whole book which made everything unpredictable.
My favorite character was Detective Love. Once he’s on the case he just cannot let go. I also enjoyed Le Fanu right at his side the whole way, I was able to see the lengths they would go to in protecting each other and how close they were.
The ending was perfect, no stone unturned!
I highly recommend this book, just be careful, once you start you may not be able to put it down. I hope there will be a sequel.

Here is an example of one of the best crime novels that I've read in years! There are many examples of great text throughout the book, once you started it is hard to put down. 5*

Enigma was a very thrilling read. I liked the car chase. But I also like how they found Monica's car. I enjoyed reading the book totally.
