This left me with the feeling that I should have enjoyed it more than I did. For me, the author was not able to write a main character to whom I could relate. The needed intensity just isn't there and the ending is so badly botched, you will feel as if your brain was sacrificed to a kindergardner.

Liked it a lot! Reminds me of The DaVinci Code.

Much better than the DaVinci Code - doesn't pretend to be nonfiction, either! ;-)

Very fast paced. I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Great finish.

Couldn't get past the first couple of pages. The book is filled with too many words in a sentence, almost edging on run-ons.

Not bad, but the author took some shortcuts to keep the story moving. Worth reading, though.

not exactly "The DaVinci Code" but okay

A good literary mystery with multiple layers of plot. Highly recommended for fans of Dan Brown.

This book fell short of my expectations. The plot twist at the end was too little, too late.

Pretty interesting book. Kept me going to see what would happen.

A quick read. Very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book - interesting and a quick read. I pretty much love any book that is about a search for an ancient book or document or something like that! (I'm definitely a bibliophile :).) That said, it's NOT as good as "The Name of the Rose" or "Possession" as some of the reviewing authors say on the back ... but at the same time, it's worth reading if you enjoy books like that.
