Book Description:
Milan, 1497: Leonardo is completing The Last Supper. Pope Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling and blasphemous message that he is driven to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are portraits of well-known heretics and none of them are depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes....

I just couldn't really get into the story. I don't want to give a bad review and discourage another reader, thus 3 stars, but I didn't finish it. I think the idea is good, but the writing didn't steal my attention, so on to another book in the large PBS TBR stack!

Good book! Well researched by the author and presents his views on "The Last Supper" in an "historical novel" approach. Not as controversial as "The DaVinci Code".

Interesting story although at the end I felt a little let down that the revelation wasn't more. Over all a good read.

Well, I did finish it. It did keep me interested enough to do that. Again the names get to be confusing. I do like the idea that painters use symbolizm to relay more that what 1st meets the eye. I would not recommend to just the ordinary casual reader, I don't think it would hold their interest long enough nor is it well written enough to make you want to keep finding time to read. I really had to force myself to complete this one.

I really enjoyed this book. Took a little while to get into, but in the end it was worth it.
