Review
All the usual bestseller words apply here. Gripping. Un-putdownable. Page Turner…..
I loved this. I was totally immersed in the story and believed every word written. Reviewers are saying that Dan Brown could have done his homework a bit better, but from where I’m sitting I can’t fault the book. I loved it so much and found it very entertaining from start to finish.
This was the first book by Brown that I read and upon finishing it I rushed out and bought all his others too. I think it’s a close run thing to choose between this and Angels and Demons but A&D ‘just’ pips ‘The Davinci Code’ to the better book finish line…….but only just.
This is worth the read.
