Negative Positive
Title: Slow.
Review: I picked this up after having it recommended as a sort of thinking person's Da Vinci Code.It does a couple of Da Vinci Code angles: Roman Catholic Church hatred of women, RC Church willingness to kill to maintain its position. Other than that, while the Da Vinci Code was a genuine page-turner, this book required a bit of commitment to finish, and at the end I didn't want to read it again.One "no good deed goes unpunished" bit I enjoyed was Gemma's work which leads to a perfectly ironic death. Nice touch.Other than that, well, it was a bit of a disappointment. If this is the thinking person's Da Vinci Code, I'll stick with the original, and the mindless escapism.
Is the review positive or negative?
