Wow! There’s nothing like a fast-paced thriller to keep you up late and take down a weekend or two. I liked this book. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. At times the writing was a bit silly, but all in all the characters were well thought out and the plot certainly didn’t lack any twists and turns. I won’t ruin it for you, especially since the movie is coming out on May 15th.
One great thing about this book is that it often drove me to the internet to lookup the works of art that the author referred to. I thought the setting for the novel was masterful, I mean who doesn’t want to know what goes on in Vatican City? The Roman Catholic Church, the Illuminati, CERN, antimatter, the conflict between science and religion…lots of good stuff here.
Definitely a well thought out and well researched book. And for myself, a pleasant surprise.
Oh, and if you like Dan Brown and are willing to dive into the fantasy/secret histories realm, then give Tim Powers book “Declare” a try.
