Title: Not awful, but doesn't deserve the hype
Product review: This book has been hyped up as the better written Da Vinci Code, but as I consider myself a reader of good books who occasionally enjoys a guilty pleasure (which I consider the Da Vinci code to be), I was really disappointed by this book as it did not appeal to me on any level. Well written? Well... it's not terrible, but there's much better literature out there. Gripping mystery/suspense novel? Not that, either. The book doesn't pull you in, and you don't really care what happens to the main characters one way or the other. A lot of fuss is made about how this novel is based on a complicated real book, but seen as the authors don't really make any advances on its study and just make up all of their "discoveries", so the book isn't even interesting on that level!!In conclusion, rather disappointing...
