 What can I say.. July 17, 2008
This is the second book in a triology. The first book sets up the background and sets the stage for the first set of characters. Unlike other reviews I found that the background was more important because the characters continue into the next book. I think people who are giving so so reviews are loosing sight of the fact that it's a ficitional book. If you read all the same type of book all the time(especially by the same author)and you start to analyze and look for similarities you will find them. Read the book with spirit in which it was written. A ficitional story. I have this book as well as the first one and I love both of them,and I can't wait to read the last book. I will read it more than once.
 Awful. Just Awful. July 16, 2008

This book is about 6 people who are supposedly highly educated and sophisticated, but they are rendered, instead, as mentally defective. The author has them repeat the same words in nearly every sentence over and over and over. I am NOT kidding. In one short paragraph she used the same wording 4 times as if the character was talking to a moron, and was him/herself also a moron. Worse, she has every one of the 6 characters doing this not only in this yarn, but also in it's precursor Blood Brothers. It was impossible to read without wanting to scream in absolute frustration. The metaphysical elements are beyond laughable. Psychically finding diaries in a stone wall of an old farm outbuilding that no one else had discovered in over 300 years strained all believability and reduced the tale to the ridiculous. There was no difference between the truncated, quasi-contemporary manner of speaking that Nora uses in her characters' dialogs from what is contained in the diaries that the 300 year old peasant woman, Ann, penned, when read by one of the characters.
Layla is one of the most despicable female characters that Roberts has ever created out of her 6 character reruns in every single trilogy she has EVER written. The author has always focused upon sex, innuendo of sex, and lurid sex with a heavy handed approach in her novels. This time she used a sledgehammer to pound the topic into the ground with her character Fox who literally harassed Layla until she gave in to the unrelenting pressure of his sexual demands. Even while she is on the job working for him. It was outright repellant. About midway through this awful story I no longer gave a damn about any of these one dimensional characters.
Worse was the hike to the Pagan Stone where Nora falls into the name and label dropping pattern that she has used in her last dozen books. It was ludicrous. "They launched with Nirvana...Smells like Teen Spirit...Hello!...he tossed in Smashing Pumpkins, a little Springsteen...swung into Pearl Jam, sweetened it up with Sheryl Crow". I'm not joking. The only positive remark that I can offer about this story is Lump. I loved that dog. He has more brains than the characters in this farce. Even though I have been a long time fan, there will be no more Nora Roberts books for me. I am done with her reruns.
the Hollow July 14, 2008
The book held my interest due to the way the author Nora Roberts weaves you through the story. She has a way of reeling you in that you want to reading to know how she intends to get out of this situation. I can't wait until the 3rd book comes out to see how she will save the Hollow.
Great read July 14, 2008
Nora Roberts continues to keep me turning the pages as fast as I can, as well as sitting on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for The Pagen Stone. Recommend this one strongly.

Nora Roberts Has Done It Again July 14, 2008
In this book 2 of of the 7 trilogy she takes you further into the story and then leaves you hanging, begging for the next book. I just love her stories and this trilogy is no exception. A must have for all Nora Roberts fans!
