The Gates of Hell (Matt Drake Book 3)

All the fighting, blow by blow. It overshadows the action of the story. Too much violence. Some of it seemed so forced. The character development is slow and floppy as well. I don't think I'm going to finish the series. Not right now anyway.

I was able to basically get past the poorly understood attempts at describing what the computer experts were doing and the regular misnaming of characters and the bad grammar. But, when the good guys start killing innocent people deliberately? That went to far. I did not even finish this book. And that makes it only the fourth book in the past 45 years that I've done that with on purpose.

This series got old rather quickly. The plots just kept mounting on themselves without adding anything of interest. The super villain in book 1 was replaced by the super villain in book 2, etc.; the actions of the characters became more improbable; the ending was always "oh we thought that was bad, but guess what, we just discovered that THIS is even worse".

And if he used the term "Dinorock" one more time, I would have thrown my iPad across the room.

Take another writing class David. No, I couldn't do better, but then again no one is paying me to write this schlock!

The characters are coming along and we learn much more in this book. The action is fast, furious, exciting and a bit on the scary side. It's an awesome book and you should read the first 2 before this one. I intend to stay with the series
. It's awesome!

The author just gets better and better. You can't put it down. As your reading it, you seem to become part of the book. You are cheering for the good guys and hoping that the bad guys get what they deserve. Looking forward to book 4.

Leadbeater does an excellent job with his action sequences and I really like his characters. However, so far, the story lines in all three of his books contain way too much unbelievable items or events. That certainly won't stop me from reading the Matt Drake books; however, I would really enjoy them more if the stories were structured around something a little more realistic.

So far this series has been wonderful reading. Very imaginative, action packed and gripping. Keeps you wanting to read the next book as soon as you finish the current one. I'm off to read book 4 in this adventourous series now!

What a rush! I could not put this down. Leadbetter has crafted an adventure of epic proportions. Rich characters, incredible action and mythic treasures and mysteries.
This entire series will please almost any fiction fan.

I really enjoyed reading this book .it was a fast paced action thriller .thanks for writing this book I look forward to reading more about Matt drake and mai and the rest of the guys.????????
