![]() #102: IMHO, the prior book, The Eight, is much better than the sequel. Chess is still featured, though. Forgot to update:
41. The Fire by Katherine Neville.
This is the sequel to The Eight, and is set about twenty or thirty years later. The Game has started again. As with the previous book, I find the concepts of the Game very abstract, so I just read it as a novel with bad guys and good ... ... for certain time periods and locations).
On the train I am reading The Fire by Katherine Neville, the sequel to The Eight as a quick fiction read between all the non-fiction.
Oooh and on Wednesday I get to go to the UK for a day, let's see what I will pick up there! ... at home during my commute, due to its size, instead I am taking The Fire by Katherine Neville. It is the sequel to The Eight, which I read a couple of years ago. I didn't want to read that one again (but I did forget just about everything about it, except that it was about chess pieces) ... #69: I agree with you about The Fire. Very disappointing after The Eight. Book 33: The Fire by Katherine Neville
This book was bad. I read the first book, The Eight, in high school and it was pretty decent. I'd actually recommend it. But this book was very bad. The plot had gaping holes, and a lot of it didn't make sense. Some of the small things that were ... The Eight, by Katherine Neville is set in 1790 and 1972. It's not strictly about the French Revolution, although half of the book takes place during that time. It's an older book, and I know it's received some mixed reviews, but I loved it. I love how most people seem to hate (and throw) most books I like. The Historian, The Eight, Twilight, The Expected One, The Da Vinci Code. I guess I read them (especially the last two) with a certain frame of mind. Yes it is cheap and mindless, yes the author probably believes whatever ... ... There seems to be more going on over here.
Oh dear I have The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan to read.
I read The Eight several years ago and thought it was horrible. I also didn't care for Wicked, I read it when it first came out. It started out OK, but quickly became boring ... #1 ShaggyBag - I put The Memory Keeper's Daughter down after about 80 pages. Drek.
I liked The Eight - just couldn't stand The Fire, the sequel. Convoluted drek.
... as clever tiresome one-note writer. You know how they say "The Devil always gets the best lines." Not in this book.)
5. The Eight. Finally, after all these years, thought I'd try it. It tried me. To the limit.
I'm now starting The Eight, by Katherine Neville I'm interested to see how I like it, I've heard such mixed things about it. #21: What did you think of The Fire? I did not care for it nearly as much as I liked The Eight. ... three I tried. Not an auspicious beginning. Did not like The Book Thief on the very first page, really did not like The Eight though I made it further, and slammed down Foucault's Pendulum after the third mess of a chapter. And then I picked up The Secret Magdalene and regained my ... I was disappointed in The Fire, too, when I read it. I really enjoyed The Eight, but I do not think that The Fire was anywhere close to it in quality. The Eight is by far one of my favorite books. Definitely in my top five. Everything about it—the writing, content, plot, history, characters—is incredible. But I have to say that I was disappointed by The Fire, but I know that once you read The Eight it's pretty much inevitable that you'll ... The Fire is on my to-read list... right after The Eight. :) Finished The Eight and started a reread of Persuasion. Also reading The Third Girl and House of Abraham. This certainly sounds a lot like Katherine Neville's The Eight. Could it be The Eight: A Novel of Suspense by Katherine Neville? It came up when I did a tagmash for mystery, chess and alchemy. Originally published in 1988, Amazon says it has 642 pages (not a slim book!).
If it is in fact "The Eight", I notice that Neville very recently (October, 2008) ...
I hated The Eight too. Though I read it several years ago. It was what I call pink and plastic, like a bad romance. Even the bad things that happened were styled to perfection. ick.
I haven't read The History Boys but I saw the movie and loved it. They used the same actors as in the ... I never finished The Eight. Just couldn't do it. The Eight was excruciating , details on top of details and every single famous person who was ever mentioned in history ever is a character. Seriously.The Fire was a tad less excruciating , but just a tad. I couldn't get them out of my life fast enough!
so sorry
thats just me though, ... #162 I have The Fire as an ARC too. I've been waiting for The Eight from the library for months. I have a feeling they're going to be my 2009 clunkers. Getting The Fire as an ARC led me to reading The Eight . I had owned The Eight for some time and never red it, but felt I should before starting the sequel. I hated them both.
urg~ #5. The Eight, Katherine Neville, a re-read.
The quest for the chess service of Charlemagne spans two lives and two different eras. A historic adventure peppered with leading figures of French, Russian and American history, it is also a travelogue, a love story and a lesson in the fine art and ... ... of this series of books; I found them playful and inventive
429. The Fire by Katherine Neville - sequel to The Eight and IMHO, not nearly as good
430. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer - I enjoyed this book a good deal
431. The Wright 3 by Blue Bal ... ... Fire last night which, I know was another of your recommendations, and while I thought it was good, I think I preferred The Eight to it.

If you are interested, songbirdz, Katherine Neville put out a sequel to The Eight recently called The Fire. I thought The Eight could have been cut by 100 pages or so, but still an enjoyable read in all.
How was Miles from Nowhere? Worth the time and effort? 37. The Eight by Katherine Neville Saw this in the store and couldn't resist.. kinda dragged at parts, but very enjoyable.
38. Miles from Nowhere by Nami Mun Finally got to this one, and blew through pretty fast. #81 mamachunk: I read The Eight this year as well and agree completely that it is much better than The DaVinci Code. I do not think I enjoyed it as much as you did - I thought it could have been shortened by about 100 pages, but for a first effort (at least I think it was - she has since ... I was recommended The Eight by a friend after a brief discussion of Umberto Eco and, naturally enough, The Da Vinci Code. I loved Foucault's Pendulum and have always meant to read The Name of the Rose after seeing the movie.
Neville's effort, regrettably, was for me laughable. At ... I am reading The Eight by Katherine Neville, though reading always takes me quite some time due to working and going to school at the same time.

This is, somewhat self-explanatorily, for any series I want to read. I was at the pharmacy on Friday and noticed that they've re-published The Eight with a chapter of The Fire at the end. I would just like Touchstones to work!
Sometimes I can touchstone a book, example the eight and it works, but I try to touch stone an author, like Piers Anthony or Orson Scott Card, and it doesn't find it. Even when I know its in LT and spelled right!
Can we just fix the base code? Katherine Neville's The Eight might do the trick for you. 85. The Eight by Katherine Neville. Picked this one up because when I got The Fire as my most recent ER book I realized that some of the characters were the same. Great adventure, both historical and modern fiction, even a little romance. Lots of chess, mathematical principles and mysticism. ... ... Seed - William March. Reminded me of The Talented Mr. Ripley.
The Fire- Katherine Neville. Early Review. Sequel to The Eight. It was a mess. Imagine The Da Vinci Code without the page-turner aspect and if the historical details were too jumbled to follow and characterizations so shallow ... The Eight is one of my favorite books, and one that I frequently recommend to other readers whom I know enjoy complex storylines. I do think, however, that it suffered from what I think of as "new author syndrome", in which an author throws in each and every potentially interesting idea or ... Bouncing back and forth between the 1790's and 1970's with The Eight by Katherine Neville. I didn't get The Fire but I don't remember requesting it anyway....
I picked up a copy of The Eight at our library sale for 50 cents and it was a trade paperback copy! So I'm happy. ... out of the running for the others" rule of Early Reviewers.
I stopped at the library on the way home tonight to pick up The Eight by Neville, to which I believe this one is a sequel. I probably own _The Eight_ already, since I was working my first bookstore job around the time it came out. Fi ... ... That was stressful. The Fire arrived promptly. It took me a while to review because I hadn't re-read her first book The Eight in 5 years so felt that I needed to refamiliarize myself with it to fully appreciate the new one. I just wrote my review a couple of days ago.
The fourth was ... #224 - I loved The Heretic's Daughter. I agree with you about the writing.
I had to re-read The Eight first, but finally started The Fire a couple of days ago. I'm really enjoying it. ... 12. I think she's winning.
I've just started The Fire by Katherine Neville - ER book. I just finished re-reading The Eight to refresh my memory before starting. I'm so glad I did, because I had forgotten how much I liked The Eight.
blasted touchstones On the way to the bedroom to finish re-reading The Eight I saw the Blake Young match at 6-1 1-4 ... Wow! Blake in 5 sets. He's getting better at 5 sets, isn't he?
Didn't watch any of the opening stuff - I'm pretty sported out from the Olympics but do plan on watching Roger tonight. I'm ... hey beeg - I'm on page 456 of 598 of The Eight. For some reason lately I haven't been getting in a lot of reading. But that's okay. I'm really enjoying my re-read. I'm re-reading The Eight by Katharine Neville in anticipation of reading my ER book The Fire. ... I thought sheesh - another bookmark I won't use! but I find I'm enjoying it alot. Mostly for hardbacks, but I've got it in The Eight by Katharine Neville right now.
Mostly I use post-its. Sometimes receipts or whatever paper is handy.
Very frequently I just remember the page number. I read The Eight in 1995, re-read it about 5 years ago, and am re-reading it now in anticipation of reading The Fire.
I absolutely adore it.
Edited to get touchstones right. I just finished reading The Fire, which I received as an ARC for Early Reviewer. I didn't bother hunting down The Eight, but I think The Fire works pretty nicely on its own. It was an interesting sort of book, like some curious cross pollination of Umberto Eco and Helen Fielding. (Br ... ... I read it for my bookclub and still think about it more often than I would have suspected I would.
I'm re-reading The Eight because I got an ER copy of The Fire and haven't read The Eight in about 5 or so years. Huzzah! Very good read in anticipation of another very good read.
... Lots!
I'm currently re-reading The Eight byKatharine Neville in anticipation of reading her new one. It's to get the story fresh in my mind again.
I re-read The Source by James Michener about every 5 years or so because I love it so much.
I re-read my favorite mystery writers, ... 97. The Fire by Katherine Neville. An ER book. Sequel to The Eight.
Unfortunately I found this to be a really bad book.
1) EXACTY the same format as she used in The Eight--exactly, down to the way the love interest comes off. It looks as if she just took the outline for The Eight ... I'm reading The Eight so that when I read The Fire I'll have the story clearly in mind since I originally read it in about 1994,then re-read about 3 years ago.
I'm also still slogging through The Power Makers by Maury Klein. Slow-going but rewarding nonfiction. I loved The Eight. The Fire, though...I just finished it, and I'm still trying to process how I felt about it. Definitely not as good. 94. The Eight by Katherine Neville. Published the same year as Foucault's Pendulum, 1988, this is a very different book along the same lines--age-old secret of power--Da Vinci Code type stuff. Problem is that both Dan Brown and Umberto Eco are better writers. Good story but a style ... ... books,mystery, and history, eternal life ,a very good read.
I like Katherine Neville as and author anyway but the The Eight series, Is one of the most interesting reading I have had in a long time. ... Penman - another of Penman's medieval mysteries

A Jerusalem Tale by Haim Sabato. Thanks Abby. I am kinda secretly jealous of all those that got The Fire, I loved The Eight. We are all lucky, it was a great crop of books this month. I'm getting The Fire: A Novel by Katherine Neville, which isn't all that surprising since I read the first book, The Eight. Now I've got to find it so I can reread it. It's been a while, but I believe math was involved in The Eight by Katherine Neville. It was very good. #33, #36 - I loved The Eight also and was thrilled to see a sequel. My fingers and toes are crossed for that one. But there were many other good ones. 33--I'm with you..I loved The Eight, wasn't nearly as fond of her next one The Magic Circle, but I have high hopes for her newest.

From the author's bio it sounded like she was quite the over achiever, reminding me of Clare Francis who also had seemed to accomplish an awfully lot. ... itself but not necessarily a series
- lots of big fat books telling the story
So keeping those two concepts in mind:
The Eight by Katherine Neville - like DaVinci code except MUCH better (and written 20+ years earlier) - its one big fat and very satisfying book
The Dragon Prince ... 4. The Eight (Nyolc) by Katherine Neville in Hungarian
Eventful, enjoyable story, awful translation. I thought I'd try to see if I could get the Touchstone (not Lemony Snicket's, "The Basic Eight") to work for The eight : a novel, and it seems to, but it was #2 on the (others) list. I did like when I read it some time ago. It was still being advertised in the latest issue of Parabola Magazine ... ...
(Tangent: Possman, you may also like Katherine Neville's The Eight: a novel. I've seen it compared to The Name of the Rose before.)
Edit: Fix touchstone I immediately thought of The Eight when I saw the topic - but I must vehemently unrecommend it: I found it contrived and childish, fileable with DVC. No other book I've finished has left me so angry.
... disappointed in this book. Not because it was a bad book; it was actually pretty good.

I'm glad to hear recommendations for The Eight I just mooched it on BM. Add another recommendation for The Eight by Katherine Neville. Read it many years ago and remember thoroughly enjoying it and recommending it to friends/family. The Eight by Katherine Neville is a thriller about chess (among other things) set in the 1970s and the 1790s (in France). I went to an estate sale over the weekend. I have to borrow $7 from my friend to get:
The Thirteenth Tale

and a couple of others I don't remember at the moment. ... the plot per se. While it's been compared to DaVinci Code, I found it to be more more similar to Katherine Neville's The Eight (which I loved). And, like many horror films, if the protagonist behaved rationally, there would have been no story!
I would recommend giving it a try. ... ostwick

Book Description:
