Wow. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013* Reviewer JDKay is right: Leadbeater's obsession with analogy and such is really grating. Every two or three pages there's a cringe-inducing phrase like, "I used to have a Marine boyfriend who could've tucked that trinket under his foreskin." "These guys are more annoying than an Indian call center" and "...that didn't mean the cop in her just gave it up quicker than a guy surrendered his virtue on his first night in Vegas."And that's just a sample of the dozen that hit you upside the head in the first two chapters. Leadbeater just isn't as funny or as clever as he thinks he is. It's too bad, really, because I like the premise of the story, and I like the characters, but I don't know if I will be able to finish reading this. Every time I fall over one of his "clever" phrases, I have to back up and find the thread of the story again.Leadbeater has real promise, but he needs a ruthless editor. I volunteer, because he has promise. Shoot me an email, dude. Let's chat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Bones of Odin *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013* The Bones of OdinBy David LeadbeaterReviewed by R. MurryIf you're a speed reader, you'll have to slow down you're pace to enjoy this fast pace a la Indiana Jones type adventure story. In this action filled novel, there are more action characters than one.Matt Drake is the catalyst that brings them all together to try and uncover The Bones of Odin.Odin was a mythical god. Or was he real? A shield is uncovered, which leads to the coming together of all the pieces, leading to whether the myth is true or false. If true, the world will come to an end when all the pieces are aligned correctly.Not a new theme, but Mr. Leadbeater's version is so well written that you'll come away believing the tale. His participants, including selfless and intelligent Drake, give credibility to the story with their sometimes herculean feats. Reading about this mixed batch of individuals, who overcome their fears, was entertaining.The madness in the world confronts our heroes. They go through hell to get to heaven in traversing two continents in fighting that madness. Each individual, having their baggage, is trying to overcome their adversaries.Drake, with a secret service background, is trying to become a civilian, but can't overcome his engrained traits which are in tack and where needed to foil off the enemy. You'll have to read the book to understand the other characters' challenges.All in all, if you like action, this is a book for you. There is lots of well written high kicking action in the novel. I'll follow Matt Drake on his next adventure. Will you? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summer Blockbuster of a read, fast-paced and action-packed *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2012* "The Bones of Odin" by David Leadbeater (@dleadbeater2011) is an fast-paced thrill-ride of a book where the action starts on page 1 and doesn't let up as hero Matt Drake and his cohorts battle the bad guys throughout locales as exotic as Paris and as dangerous as the inside of a supervolcano. (click here for Mr. Leadbeater's blog).My taste in genres is pretty broad. I like a deep, introspective mystery or epic sci-fi saga as much as the next person, but sometimes as a reader I want to dive into something a bit more straightforward. To grab some popcorn, settle into my seat and get swept away as the bullets fly and bodies fall into bottomless pits. "The Bones of Odin" absolutely delivered and I had a lot of fun reading it.If (when, hopefully) some smart person in Hollywood decides to turn "Bones" into a movie, there is no doubt in my mind it will be a Summer Blockbuster starring the latest stars. There are plenty of big action scenes, starting with the opening set in York, England at -- of all things -- a fashion show attacked by masked terrorists.There is also a mystery here, a riddle revolving around the mythology of Odin, the Norse "Father of all Gods and Men" and the Nine Pieces of Odin, which may spell the end of the world as we know it if put together just right. This mystery propels the action forward, as ex-SAS officer Drake and his team -- including a damaged New York City detective and a naive university student/musician -- race to collect the Pieces before the bad guys.That's bad guys, plural, and they are truly deliciously drawn in their evilness.On the flip side, the good guys are good but not infallible, and one of the things I enjoyed was how Drake came to terms with the fact that he is no longer capable of the same feats as while on active service with the SAS. The dialogue and interplay between the characters sparkles, which means even exposition-heavy scenes as Drake and crew unravel the mystery don't slow the flow of the story.I highly recommend adding "The Bones of Odin" to your eReader of choice for the beach, on a fishing trip, the airplane ride, those lazy summer days and nights -- anywhere, really. It is a fast, fun and exciting read, and I'm pleased to see Mr. Leadbeater has a second Matt Drake book out, which is going on my To-Read List. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17095921-the-bones-of-odin-matt-drake-book-1](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17095921-the-bones-of-odin-matt-drake-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
