Title: It Coulda Been a Contenda!
Review: This could have been a real page-turner, if there was more action. This is a fictional history of the discovery of the Nag Hammadi codices in Egypt in the 1950's. The premise is great, but the book just does not deliver. The author spends way too much time on the emotional status of the gospel-seeking herione. Her feelings about her father's death, her feelings about her love for her two half-brothers are part of the uneasy pathos we have to suffer through with this woman. The book is slow-paced and unconvinving,ultimately ending with another Mary Magdalene story. Gag. Quite frankly, I'm tired of all the Mary Magdalene stuff - can all these authors get off that Da Vinci caboose? I'm giving this a two-star due to her interesting topic which had the potential to be a thriller, if it had not been so predictable. The author has also done alot of research to her benefit, however, with some minor details which were flawed.
Is the review positive or negative?
