Nice Read

This is the second Steve Berry novel I have read, and this was certainly better than the Amber Room. The plot is intriguing and the story held my interest through the end of the novel.

The downside to this novel is that the Third Secret isn't all that shocking, and for the second straight novel, there's a five letter word to describe the personality of the lead female character. Is Berry a misogynist or was he going through a divorce while drafting these novels?

Also, the antagonists are almost cartoonish. How or why did these individuals become priests in the first place?

Gerry's review

This was the first book of Steve Berry's that I read. I enjoyed reading it enough that I bought his other books.

Over the Top for sure~

To start off with. The characters being un-devoloped doesn't in the least detract from the books page turning qualities, at times it's hard to put the book down. Fast paced, extreamly thourough in it's research of Catholic Dogma and the Papal succession, the book is a more than easy read for fans of the Genre. With that said, this book along with many others comes to the same conclusion "everything you thought you knew, is well, wrong", that might be a bit dry but, tis the truth. All of a sudden there are 100 novels all telling us the same thing. At the heart of Christianity, there is a secret. A secret so secret, the keeping that secret secret, suddenly creates more secrets to hide the said secret. Oh yeah and then there are the "secret societies" created soley to keep the secret, well you guessed it "SECRET". If you have managed to stay with me on this, the point I am obviously getting at is, the book is a great read if you like fast paced, well thought out and researched plots and , you guessed it "secrets"
