Title: Boring, long drawn out waste of time...
Review: Usually I wait for reviews on Amazon to see what others think of new writers. I should have stuck to that rule. It's overwrought with drawn out tempid descriptions of locations with little plot or premise. After the first third of the book I understood the weak storyline - but I can honestly say I truly didn't care to know anymore than I did.Characters, though well described, lacked excitement. Even Dan Brown made a cryptologist sound better than these academians. If by chance Ms. Kostova cares to read this... make them more lively and not so prim and propper. Even in the '70's people had personalities.Perhaps, I'll go back to it again after I read some other true "thrillers" and see how she winds this up.But seeing how used books are going for a quarter of the price Amazon's selling them for it's a solid indication of much of a keeper this book truly is.
