Truly one of my "top ten" books. It is complex, entertaining, mysterious, with great characters, puzzles, love stories, etc. You'll love it!

Interesting, and loaded with historical info, but very difficult to follow. Not a book I would recommend to a friend, unless they understood chess very well and had an excellent knowledge of the French Revolution.

From Matthew Pearl, author of 'The Dante Club': "Readers thrilled by The Da Vinci Code will relish the mult-layered secrets of The Eight."
'People' wrote: "With alchemical skill, Neville blends modern romance, historical fiction, and medieval mystery...and comes up with gold."

Really fascinating read -- combines mystery with chess and history. Absolutely enthralling.
Great suspense! If you liked The DaVinci Code, you'll love this book.
Good fun. Better than The DaVinci Code IMHO.
I really enjoyed this book, it is a very unique love story or stories!
Loved it! Couldn't put it down until the end. Full of adventure and twists for the intelligent, likeable female heroines with a smidgen of romance.
A complicated but intersting storyline...A mystery with a lot of history thrown in. Sometimes hard to get through.
If you're into chess, this fast-paced mystery is for you!

I started this book, but had a hard time following it. It wasn't what I thought, or maybe it was me. I was expecting this really great mystery and it was a boring history book.
