Title: Dense and disappointing
Product review: There's far too much math, codes and cryptology, art history, and religious history in this book, and far too little thriller. The writing is pedestrian, and the characterization is nil. That said, the premise is very intriguing -- but unfortunately the first review, above, gives away the big secret! So you lose that suspense -- you already know what they're going to find out. So I'm mixed about this novel. The author is clearly smart, and it's original, but it doesn't really live up to the hype.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
