Title: Slow Parts Hamper the Storyline
Product review: As other people have mentioned, it had a similar premise as Da Vinci Code. Plus it was on the best seller list. So why would one not want to read it?Unlike Da Vinci Code, there is fairly little action. Only about 25% of the book is devoted to moving the story along. The rest seems to be lots of retrospective look at personal interactions among the main characters and their collegues and family. So it is really a book about relationships than historic mystery.There is nothing wrong with that execept that is not how the book was billed. So I found myself skipping pages at a time to get on with the story. By about 1/2 way through the book I had to finally give up. Maybe it got better, but the slow parts really detract from what could have been a good story.
