The Six Sacred Stones by Matthew Reilly
2.0
This was lent to me by a friend, so I did try my best to enjoy it. But this kind of action-adventure-movie transformed into a book just isn't really my thing. Not only the increasingly ridiculous situations the characters find themselves in - "Block of stone about to fall and crush me? I will block it with my titanium arm!"
Also, his use of italics and exclamations marks in the narrative made me want to kill myself, or at least write to his editor. Can someone tell him to stop doing that, please? It's completely unnecessary. My friend told me I needed to relax and enjoy the story, but I just kept getting jolted out of it by those exclamation marks.
