Entangled is a time-slip novel alternating between present-day California, Brazil, and prehistoric Spain, with two teenage female protagonists who must come together to avert an incredibly bloodthirsty takeover of the human race. Entangled is the first book in a trilogy relating the story of an unrelentingly evil master magician named Sulpa who is on the loose and determined to destroy humanity. Leoni, a troubled teen from modern-day Los Angeles, and Ria, a young woman who lives in Stone Age Spain, meet in a parallel dimension outside the flow of time to stop Sulpa's spectacular, deadly materialization of the modern world. Entangled rides a growing wave of interest in parallel dimensions and imaginary worlds (The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Golden Compass are recent Hollywood examples) and will have immediate appeal to readers of Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Mosse, among others. But Entangled has the added merit of being grounded in solid anthropological and scientific research. Hancock calls on his years of research into cutting-edge issues, including the "Neanderthal Enigma," the nature of consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, parallel realms, time travel, and near-death and out-of-body experiences.… (más)

Very disappointed in this recommendation. Features prehistoric hominids speaking in modern slang and clueless heroines amazed at simple deductions.

There isn't a single person in the whole universe who has time for this garbage. ( )

A very intriguing tale but the format was very disjointed. I know he was telling two tale that come together, but it falls a little short with the abrupt changes in POV. I enjoyed it, but I am very glad that I bought it on sale and did not pay the full price. It was advertised when Hancock did a Coast to Coast AM show and it was only .99 cents for the EPUB version. It is advertised on B&N for the NOOK, for $9.99. Had I paid that price? I probably would have given it one or two stars. Amazon has it listed for $11.53 for the paperback... again, had I paid that price it would have affected the rating.

It is sort of modern day tale of a Lindsay Lohan type person (wealthy, drug addled) meets the cast and characters of Jean Auel's tales. Mix in a little supernatural... and you get Entangled. Good read, it really was, but it could have been better.

I recommend though if you are a Coast to Coast AM fan or a Nu-Ager or someone who likes reading what seems like an LSD inspired piece. Or someone who likes Dan Brown's style. ( )

** spoiler alert ** blurbification - Time is not what it seems...

When a drug overdose causes Leoni, a troubled teen from twenty-first-century Los Angeles, to have a near-death experience, her soul is lifted from the modern world and flung into a parallel time 24,000 years in the past. There her fate becomes entangled with that of Ria, a young Stone Age woman fighting for her life against the ferocious Illimani, an army of evil led by the vicious Sulpa, a powerful demon determined to destroy humanity.

As the invaders annihilate Ria's people, inflicting torture and human sacrifice, Sulpa moves ever closer to his ultimate goal: to manifest physically in the twenty-first century and condemn all of mankind to perpetual slavery. The hour is late and any chance of stopping him seems lost. But there is still hope, if Leoni and Ria can rise to the challenge fate has set them. Uniting outside the flow of earth time, they must venture forth into regions of wonder, master their own deepest fears, and fight battles they could never have prepared for, if Sulpa is to be defeated...

I tried 4 chapters... I can't say any of the characters made me want to continue reading.
But then there is also the hangover from the Intro, whatever. I can understand, with past record, why Graham Hancock would want to make a few things clear beforehand, to avoid the kind of attacks he has received for his 'non-fiction', but it does not inspire confidence whan an author feels he needs to justify the age of his heroine and a bit of politics/sentiment for some of the protagonists, but also to justify the use of dialogue, and then to not actually do what he said, looks to me like an admittance of failure before it's even started.
Hancock seems to be mistaking language with styles of speech. While it is true that 'Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs can be translated into modern English,' It is not true that style of speech is translated. When talking of Set's meeting with Osiris that led to his death, we do not say, "Osiris got his jive on. 'What now, blud?' he said to Set, who responded, 'Happenin', man?'" So the picture of the heroine on the first page is not just a translation of the dialogue and mindset of an early human, but a sassy 21st century heroine placed into a 24000 year old setting.
These may be minor points to you, but they had me walking away. ( )
