It started off great and then... meh. And... I'm not a fan when characters repeat the same sentences. It started off great and then... meh. And... I'm not a fan when characters repeat the same sentences. ...more

My reading taste changed greatly during that time, so I didn't know what to expect, or what impressions the story would leave on me. As for this novel, I'm not thrilled, but I really enjoyed it. Steve Berry has that writing style, which combines historical facts with imagination with such clarity, that you wonder, is it possible that such a thing happened? If you like Dan Brown's books, Steve Berry is a great author. I love those crazy adventures, full of suspense that keep you on edge until the very end of the story.
Prošlo je skoro deset godina od kada sam poslednji put čitala neku Berijevu knjigu. Moj čitalački ukus se za to vreme dosta promenio, te nisam znala šta da očekujem, ni kakve će utiske ostaviti priča na mene. Što se ovog romana tiče, nisam oduševljena, ali sam baš uživala. Stiv Beri ima taj stil pisanja, koji sa takvom jednostavnošću kombinuje istorijske činjenice sa maštom, da se prosto pitaš, da li je moguće da se zaista tako nešto desilo? Ako volite knjige Dena Brauna, Stiv Beri je sjajan autor za vas. Volim te lude avanture, pune neizvesnosti koje te drže na ivici do samog kraja priče....more

I have never seen or read The Little Mermaid, but this story is a retelling of it. I didn't know what to expect, so I can't say I'm disappointed.
