Search - The Book of Fate

Good beach read, or the kind of book you could get into on a plane. Interesting plot.

I like Brad Meltzer; this isn't his best work, but it's a good summer read.

I thought this book would be a fun read like the Da Vinci Code. Turns out it is the very poor man's version of the Da Vinci Code. I was so bored by page 30 and i skimmed through to the end. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you were really, really bored.

This was a great read! Fast-paced, excellent characters, well-plotted, really well done thriller -- highly recommended!

Even though this wasn't one of Brad Meltzer's better books, I still found myself engrossed in it and had to finish it. Definitely worth checking out if you like thrillers.

In 6 minutes one of us would be dead. None of us knew it was coming.

So says Wes Holloway, a once-cocky and ambitious presidential ade, about the day that changed his life forever. On that 4th of July, Wes put Ron Boyle, the chief executive's oldest friend, into the presidential limousine. By the time the trip came to an end, Wes was permanently disfigured, and Boyle was dead, the victim of a crazed assassin.

Eight years later, Boyle is spotted, alive and well, in Malaysia. In that moment, Wes has the chance to undo the worst day of his life. Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back to a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, mysterious facts buried in Masonic history, and a 200 year old code invented by Thomas Jefferson.

But what Wes doesn't realize is that The Book of Fate hold everyone's secrets. Especially the ones worth dying for.

The Book of Fate. What does it say about you?

I have a hard time reading this guy, but I know others love him, so take it off my hands!!!

I really liked this book. It was an interesting read.

Excellent with a fast-moving plot.

One of the best books I have read in a long time. Fast paced and well done.

Wes Holloway, a hotshot presidential aide, is wounded in an assassination attempt that kills the president's close friend. Eight years later, the dead man reappears, disfigured but very much alive and apparently stalking the former president. Wes thinks he can figure out what's going on, but to do so he must decipher a two-century-old code and penetrate the secrets of Masonic history.

If you love thrillers, this one's a winner.

I must admit, I liked the Millionares and Zero Game a lot better. Still, it was a fun and worthwhile read.

Another good one from Meltzer.

This could have been better - it wasn't but it still was a pretty good read. I hope that Meltzer will keep writing because as he matures his work will too.
