Review title: Self-published dribble!
Product review: I got suckered into purchasing this book through an Amazon.com review claiming that it was much better than "The Da Vinci Code." Don't believe it, this is a self-published book from a vanity publishing house, not a best-seller. A vanity publishing house is where an author pays to have his own book published because no respectible publisher will touch it. It is pure amature dribble. The rosy reviews, I suspect, were written by the author or friends of the author. You can not begin to compare an author who pays to have his own book published with an excellent thriller written by the likes of DeMille or Dan Brown.
