Negative Positive
Title: Might be good as a fantasy book
Review: In the first few pages of this book published in 2003,we are informed "Every type of nondestructive test that Decker could imagine was included. One experiment that had been rejected was carbon 14 dating, because the then-current method would have required that a large piece of the Shroud be destroyed to yield an accurate measurement."And yet in the real world Samples were taken from the Shroud on 21 April, 1988, and given to laboratories in Arizona, Oxford and Zurich for testing where it has been proven beyond any reasonabledoubt (notice the word reasonable, not nutball), that the shroud was a fraud worked up around the 14th century.That kind of kills my interest in this gibberish right at the start of the 'novel'. If Christian literature is ever going to escape the big-foot, UFO category, these folks are going to have to start paying attention to reality a little bit more.
Is the review positive or negative?
