Title: lowest common denominator?
Product review: i wanted to see what would make a bestseller - and now i know, appeals to the lowest common denominator. it is a somewhat entertaining book because i did not have to use much of my intellect. however, it insults the intelligence of many people especially in places where the author attempts to explain, e.g., how much $20 million euro is, who designed the pyramids at the Louvre, etc. but worse is the writing, the lack of character development and the interesting similarity in plot (and plot only) with umberto's foucault's pendulum, though the latter books is a masterpiece. so, if one is looking for an entertaining book on the plane, this might be an ok book. but if one is looking for intellectually honest book with superb writing, this will definitely disappoint you.
