Title: Amazing...
Product review: What is amazing about this book is that it actually made its way into print and then was received as an intelligent work. Having lived in Paris, I can vouch that the descriptions of that city bear no relation to reality. The supposedly intelligent characters spend most of their time gasping in amazement over the obvious. The presumed history is anything but, and even the premise of the book, lifted freely from the Rennes-le-Chateau enigma in southern France, has been deformed beyond recognition. And lastly, the book is a rather large slur against Catholicism, painting the Church of Rome as alternately incompetent and psychopathic. I suppose that the book would not have annoyed me so much had it not come so highly recommended, and had not the author suggested that his work was factually accurate. I'm sorry to say it (I can't recall every giving a book one star), but at nearly every level, this book is just so much schlock.
