Review title: I'm so happy it ended...finally.
Product review: I love to read. And I'll read about anything. I'm also a chess player and enjoy books that do multiple timelines with intertwining plots. I thought that "The Eight" would be really good.It wasn't.I was a history major in college. I know a good deal about the French Revolution. For Neville's portrayal of this era, I'd give her props. But the constant name dropping of historical characters was ridiculous. I found it distracting.I think my biggest gripe was the character Cat. I found it extrememly unrealistic for a person her age (26?) to be that skilled at computers in the time period she was in. And just because was she was 'smart'--she could decode everything?I felt like the plot could have been so much better---cleaner, direct...plausible.I read every book I start---but this one was hard to finish.
