Title: Old Bigotry in New Format
Review: Some of the enthusiastic reviews here are perplexing and must come from the publisher. Even truly great literature doesn't receive such raves. For an ordinary thriller, this novel has surprisingly touched upon and for a moment legitimized anti-Catholic bigotry for the narrow minded. The delight taken in this by certain readers is disturbing. In every other way the book is unexceptional, but the underlying prejudice, hatred, and venom towards the Church is unique. One would think people might be more tolerant and enlightened, yet this kind of thing is still embraced by some. This novel will encourage those that hold on to old hates and offend the intelligent reader.
