Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3QLEBDYF8QRUN This is a brilliant snapshot from TV of some of the people who helped bring this book to life. It truly is HARRY POTTER FOR GROWN UPS, a supernatural thriller that everyone should have on their shelves. Buy it here:Professor Midnight

Having read all the reviews for 'Professor Midnight' (awesome, fantastic, could not put down etc,) I was amazed to read (Warning: Avoid at all costs)pathetic review. A vindictive,ill-informed personal attack on the author was how it sounded. The book was a well-written, exciting, impossible to put down read from cover to cover.

Although the author is credited as doing in-depth research for this novel, it is nothing that anyone with a passing interest in Wiccan, genetic, religious, historical, or political practices would know. The story seems more like a justification for writing sex scenes that reflect an old man's sexual fantasies rather than a really coherent story. And was there even an editor? There is punctuation and basic spelling mistakes that make it seem like it was written by a teenager - how did they miss them?!. The references to Leonardo Da Vinci's Codes seem to me as simply jumping on the bandwagon and taking advantage of the phenomenal reception of the Dan Brown book. This story did not flow well but was jerky and dysfunctional, especially when it came to spoken dialogue, unspoken or implied dialogue, and characterisation. It was like the author did not know what to mention and what to exclude as a summary. The inclusion of large-scale events such as the Academy Awards and visiting the Amazon Jungle was probably mentioned in the vain hope that an eventual movie adaptation would have stunning scenery. It seems like this was the first draft of a promising novel, accidentally sent to publishers instead of the final result. Of the many times I put this book down in disgust, or laughed out loud at the pretentious statements, I picked it back up again in the vain hope it would get better, or that I would finish it and publish a truthful review. Avoid at all costs!
AWESOME READ!!!!!!!!!July 25, 2005 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Oh my gosh! This book was awesome. I really did not know what to expect but, I was NOT disappointed. I was so into the story that I could not put it down and was up all night reading it. If you haven't read it yet, get your copy or borrow one. Lynn Santers is a great author. I can't wait for her next book.

An intensely interesting literary voyage which travels off the beaten track. The book seems to clean the window of a dim history of which most of us are blissfully unaware and probably quite ill informed. It has a dark side of course but it does cause one to think Am impressed with the depth of research this writer has carried out as an obvious prelude to produce a work of this standard. I will be interested to watch for other works by this writer in the future.
