The Best Book I've ever read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
When I commenced reading The Mask of Time I was tempted to put it down. That would have been my loss, it was a book that has remained firmly entrenched in my mind, since it was published. I recommended the book to everyone I knew who was a reader. It surpassed the expectations of everyone I knew. It has a wonderful plot. This book kept me up for 3days and nights,I took it to lunch, the beach, everywhere I went until I finished it. I was sorry when I had finished it. The end of the tale was a little weak, but despite that, this is one book that should have been a blockbuster.An absolutely wonderful tale. His more recent books have been enjoyable, but he will find it difficult to write a book that will surpass The Mask of Time. When I become a very old person I will always remember this book and I've read a lot of books!!
Riveting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What more can you ask for, the interwoven stories of WWII, Nazi's, and past and present love affairs. I found it difficult to put this book down and was unprepared for the ending. This is definitely a book to read again at some time in the future. After I finished it, I spent an hour rereading parts that had suddenly become crystal clear. Mr. Gabriel certainly knows his craft well. Before I started this one, I had read "The Seventh Moon" and was worried I would be disappointed that Mask couldn't possibly be as good, I was wrong. Looking forward to his future work.
A Wonderful Read

I was recommended THE SEVENTH MOON by this author and enjoyed it so much I came back for another book. MASK OF TIME is just as good. I could not believe my luck. This is another wonderfully engrossing story, with a huge sweep of history and an evolving mystery that goes back two generations. It is a rivetting story, and I cannot recommend it too highly. I am now going to work my way right through Gabriel's books!
Awesome, one of the best books I have ever read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I was in a local book store and saw a banner across a book 'satisfaction guaranteed or double your money back.' So I bought the book and was in love with the author immediately. I just wish he had more out to read as I have torn through all of his books-Marius Gabriel has great talent. I await SEVENTH MOON with great anticipation! I have to say THE MASK OF TIME is my all time favorite. Definitely read this one, there is no way you will be sorry!
Intricately plotted, fast-paced and very polished.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Using Ken Follett's book, "Lie Down With Lions" as a comparison marker, I rate this book as very nearly of the same level of craftsmanship. Exceptionally well developed characters, and riveting flashbacks, together with a fast-paced plot, make this book very hard to put down.
