Review title: A great, fun read...
Product review: I have a question...why do the previous reviews from "A reader" and "Robert Beveridge" criticize the book for a) not being similar to Umberto Eco and b) not having the sophistication of prose to be considered a good book? All I can say to these two is "Hey, if you two are such an expert on what makes a great book, why is Katherine Neville the one with a published novel that has sold millions of copies?"...And why does everyone think that liking an Umberto Eco book makes them a sophisticated reader? I bet half these people havent even read, or at least made it past page 30 of an Eco book...Anyway, about THE EIGHT. A great, exciting read, full of characters that you end up really caring about. The two plots that are intertwined, one in the past and one in the present, are both interesting enough that I never minded when the timeline shifted. Not the greatest book ever written, but definitely worth the read if you like adventure
