The plot: Blah blah religion good, blah blah technology bad. Blah blah mysticism good, blah blah science bad. Throw in the occasional explosion, babble about Noetic science, some history about Masons, et voila! That’s the book. The whole book. Seriously.
In every way that The Da Vinci Code was exhilarating and unique, though not terribly …
One of my very very best books i have ever read in my life.
The book contains a lot of mysteries and things that needs to be deciphered to get to an amazing answer. ( the book also includes a touch of murder, and aggressive events, WHICH ARE TOTALLY AMAZING!!!)
I recommend this book for the people out there that likes to read historical fiction …
All I need to decide to buy a novel is to see Dan Brown as the author!
Got better towards the end, but for me, the first 2/3 of the book was very slow. I’m not much of a fan of American history though, so if you are you may love it!
If you like the Davinci Code, you like this one.
Dan Brown is a fabulous writer! All of his books are hard to put town
A little too “preachy” and esoteric for my tastes. Hard to believe all that action took place in a 12 hour period.
Didn’t like it.
I really like this book because of the Freemasonry that appears in it. It’s such an intriguing group.
NOM NOM
Just not of the quality of his prior books. Didn’t hit the spot.
One of my favorites!
fantastic book very well written and researched
Dan Brown is always good. This was good, this was not DaVinci.
I love this author! You can’t go wrong reading his work. And I love historical fiction and this certainly has a lot of history.
I’m enjoying this series, and I enjoyed this book. It’s a page turner, and I love how it includes little interesting facts throughout it.
I enjoy Dan Brown’s ideas, but often find the characters too extrodinary.
Not my favorite of his series, this one seems to be more predictable and less revelatory – even though it’s more plausible in some ways.
Did not like it as much as the others in the same series.
All of Dan Brown’s books are great. I have a very hard time putting them down once I have started
