Title: A Disappointing Book
Product review: After reading reviews and the hype, I was disappointed in this book. The two stories never really connect, and in the modern story, though it has an intriguing premise in the health police idea, the characters never come to life, nor is the resurrection of the ancient germ really plausible. The medieval story also has flaws. The author clearly knows very little about either the Middle Ages or Jews and Jewish customs. For a start, the idea that the hero could walk into a bishopric and murder the bishop (who, by the way, would almost never be alone, even sleeping) is absurd. This is just the beginning of many historical gaffs. The one redeeming aspect of the book is the attractive hero, who somehow comes through as sympathetic through all the unbelievable situations.
