Title: Hype -- over the top
Product review: Sixty million copies sold -- but don't expect thisbook to be sixty times more thrilling than a thrillerthat sells a mere million copies.The idea that Jesus had offspring must be the maingenerator of commercial success. The action andsuspense alone could not account for it (it is aboutthe same as what Dan Brown does so well in his otherbooks).I wish I had read this book before all the hype. Iwould have expected less and enjoyed it more. If youhave not read it yet it might be too late for you. Ifand when you do read it, you may suffer diminishedreading enjoyment due to excessively raisedexpectations. But I hope my attempt at shrinkingexpectations helps.I subtract one star for all the hype we are exposedto.The fine illustrations are a big plus.
