I won't pretend this wasn't a difficult book for me to read. Expecting a history of the Templars, I was treated to an in-depth history of Christianity and Islam. Perhaps, if I wasn't already knowledgeable in those subjects, I would have found it more interesting. Still, the author did a very good job with his detailed history of those religions, the Templars, the Crusades, and the politics surrounding them.
While telling me more than I really wanted to know, the author did a fantastic job teaching me.
