Summary: Well Researched Historical Novel
Review: The plot is a bit of a disappointment, especially the *very* unlikely coincidences, but the research into Mexico's history and the telling of the tale of colonization from the aboriginal inhabitants' perspective makes this novel well worth the effort to read it.

Summary: The Leaves Have Fallen with Aztec Autumn
Review: After savoring Aztec, this sequel was a far cry from the original. The story is very well developed but ends very abruptly and sadly. It is worth reading AFTER reading Aztec but is not one of Jennings best works. It is almost as if he is writing along with gusto and, all of a sudden, "badda boom- badda bing" he decides to finish it. So many questions are left unanswered with no real possibilty for a sequel (well maybe just one!!!) but it seems very unlikely but, who know knows??!! I enjoyed the book and do recommend reading it. To ponder over a sequel you'll just have to read it and decide for yourself. This book has many surprises!!! Enjoy

Summary: Aztec Autumn
Review: Book was a fairly good read, however, Jennings seems to be trying to recapture the success of his earlier book, "Aztec", rather than create a new and original story. At times it seems as though both characters are the same person, rather than father and son. The new character, Tenamixtli, seems to be just an updated version of his father, Mixtli, from the original Aztec. Jenning should have made more effort to give Tenamixtli his own unique personality. All in all, the book was entertaining, but lacked the character developement that made "Aztec" the page turner that it was.

Summary: By the first one first
Review: Great fiction based on Facts, drama is good and not forsaken.

Summary: Good Book, must read first one first to like this one
Review: This is a good work of fiction that is based in fact. The whole idea of the second rebellion is interesting especially of the alliance of many tribes. Read Aztec first, then pick up this jewel. I kiss the earth to that.

Summary: The Bible just beat it by a nose...
Review: Aztec by Gary Jennings is a great book. It is a book that renewed life into my reading interests. It is a work of fiction based on facts. It is of course dramatized, yet some of the drama are in fact theories of how things came to be for the Aztec or rather Mexica. There is a quote from the The Los Angeles Times about the book which should always accompany any mention of it: "Anyone who reads, anyone who still lusts for adventure or that book you can't put down, will glory in AZTEC." I read the sequel, it did not compare, but still I love it. I am waiting for part three and sadly the last to come out soon, and I expect to find joy in it. For me it is beyond a literary level of appreciation, but that of a person from that culture that appreciates scholars working to interpert what they feel my people or any other have lived. He is one of those exceptions in which is reached the soul of a people and just made it 'work' a little to entertain all. Read AZTEC!

Summary: The last hurrah.
Review: I read "Aztec" and "The Journeyer" when they first came out and still consider them to be the best historical novels I've ever read. "Aztec Autumn" pales in comparison to the original. Nevertheless, with all its flaws, it is still a better read than most of the novels I have read this year. But if you haven't read Jennings's earlier works yet (including "Spangle"), read those before you read this one.

Summary: he almost does it again!
Review: This sequel may not be as good as the first book, but it comes close. As before, I could not put it down. The account of the failed aztec revolution against the spanish, one generation after the events in the first novel, is a very well told tale. This guy is a master, and if you read the first one, you cant miss this one.

Summary: In support of the author ....
Review: and the astounding first book, Aztec, i bought this book and amazingly finished reading it. Aztec Autumn should have been called Aztec winter since most of Jennings masterfull artistry has not only numbed but one would venture say has been frozen. Whereas in Aztec we find Mixtili the hero that one can identify with, while in Autumn the hero has few of the noble albeit violent traits and can actually be considered as probably the dumbest and luckiest of the Aztecs. It almost became omical while reading of his simplistic plots to kill Spaniards the idiot invariably was found out and usually foiled. And darn if there wasn't also an abundance of man hating women in this crowd of strange characters ... Quite unlike the Aztecs and totally missing from the first of Jennings books.... Ok so I paid my dues in forking over the bucks for this book but Jennings the next one you publish I'll be a lot more carefull
