Negative Positive
Title: Lovely fiction
Review: Eight out of ten for suspense and plot. But this book should be under "Fiction". Very sad to see that Cornwell lets his private journalistic ambition sully his integrity as a writer of supposed "history". This man has a clear agenda: vilify the Vatican in every possible way, cast aspersions on those who cannot defend themselves, and where possible make the Catholic Church generally and the Vatican "establishment" in particular look like a bunch of power-hungry egomaniacs and a den of thieves. Sadly, many ignorant Catholics and non-Catholics won't know enough to refute his slander, and this book is wonderful fodder to anti-Catholics. Avoid this trashy "journalism".
Is the review positive or negative?
