Title: Not a good choice
Product review: I like books about ancient manuscripts, ancient relics, ancient secrets, which is both a good and a bad thing since there seems to be lots of this type of book being written now but not all are good, like this one. It seems as if the author was ordered to chop down a much longer book but refused to alter the plot; therefore, what's left are very shallow and unsympathetic characters, strange relationships that are never properly developed and overly long lectures that I didn't care enough about to make any sense out of. The most aggravating part is the core of the plot -- that the icon is real. I found no convincing proof, but the protagonist is willing to risk life and limb for it.
