Title: He Tried
Product review: Handling this Da Vinci Code issue is tricky. One must find the right balance of response, rebuttle, commentary, and fact-offering. Sadly, Lunn missed the mark. Here's why.What other books has Martin Lunn writtern?-none. And it shows. The guy clearly knows a lot about history, but when it comes to getting his point across, his rookie status as a writer really shows. Also, Lunn doesn't seem able to grasp what the average reader (a.k.a. Dan Brown fan) really wants to know. More than anything else, I felt like I was reading a tour guide to Europe when I read this book, instead of reading a real thoughtful response to Brown's bestseller. This may be because Lunn lives in Barcelona.The book's PR description says Lunn's volume "provides an exhaustive tour of the locations visited by the novel's characters." Very true-I was exhausted by reading the book. I would rather have closed the last page enlightened with a few really interesting facts on which to hang my thoughts.
