Also agree with you that the villain's payback plan was quite OTT.Lina Shaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493013763286194724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-17958461957023532012010-01-06T13:31:59.540-06:002010-01-06T13:31:59.540-06:00I'm still planning on reading this one.

Although you had a few problems with the book, your overall review made me want to read it myself. Maybe I will have a go at the first in the series and see how I get on.<br /><br />Also, you are rocking with the T&S challenge.

I don't mind doing that and I liked learning about the subject matter but I like a book where I can follow the story without having to do that if I don't want to. I also feel like a story can be disappointing if there is too much hype. It's easy to expect too much and than be let down. <br /><br />I'm sure I will read this sometime and I won't expect perfection. I like the idea of breezing through it because it's fast paced and entertaining. I also like your description of Robert Langdon as a "sexless Indiana Jones".

Sometimes I think the literary journals are a little to quick with their praise for certain authors. <br />I generally try to wait to the end of the book to google or look something up when reading an author like Dan Brown, but I have a feeling that won't be possible with this book. :)A Buckeye Girl Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952103323793072580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-78228144789629509212010-01-05T20:49:37.948-06:002010-01-05T20:49:37.948-06:00Well, Library Journal just amped up their cred wit...Well, Library Journal just amped up their cred with me :) I will read this someday.

I think this would be a long read for me only because of all the time looking into the areas by googling. It would take me a while to get the background and read at the same time.<br /><br />I am going to have to get to the book though.

I took so many notes on the first book too and spent a lot of time online.

I started Da Vinci Code and didn't like it so never continued with the rest.
