A little less interesting than most of his books
Reviewed: 10-23-22
I really wanted to enjoy it but the performers gaffes, foolish enthusiasm and Dans constant misuse of terms and names distracted me from front to back.
Then add in the childish ending forces me to rate it POOR.
I actually don’t think Dan Brown wrote this book at all.

Very good book. Well done and we’ll performed it checks all the boxes but one; it’s too short. It could have easily been a Michener time. It the Carnegie name we’re replaced, the story could have built all the way until today through generations like a JamesClavell novel. I will find more from this author but hope she spends a little more time making her works fatter

The story was very good but the telling was hard at times to withstand. I had to take breaks at times just to beat the wordy dialogue and never ending conversations…. I enjoyed it though.

Like arguing Arabs?
Reviewed: 03-09-21
I buy these books for the flying stories. When we finally get to that they’re good.
There is far too much time and energy spent listening to Arabs arguing as planning destruction. I skipped through all of it. Many chapters I just skipped through.

Don’t hesitate to read this thinking it has nothing to relate to.
If you’re breathing, you’ll get it.
If you don’t, you’re lost and should go see Greg Boyle!

Performance takes away from an already overdone story. Clive stole the anti matter flasks from Dale Brown and spun a ridiculous if not silly story.
