Enjoy a great thriller? You will love this relentlessly paced tale. It's full of fascinating historical details about western art, the mystery of the grail, and hidden codes. You won't be able to put it down but you'll want to look up secret societies from the Knights Templar to Opus Dei. Sound far-fetched? Well, FBI traitor Robert Hanson was a member of Opus Dei. Hmmmmmm!! Recommended by Kathi Kirby

To Simon Cowell's Fan:
A movie is never better than the book.
Movies are for the unimaginative, with a book so much is left to the imagination.
And for those of you that think the book is poorly written, I must say I was too caught up in the constant cliff hangers to notice the lack eloquence in the writing. Perhaps I shall re-read and look for evidence of the critiques I have just seen, as of now though I must give it a 5.

The story is compelling, I'll give him that, but really this book is nothing more than a historically inaccurate high-speed chase. It's fun for a little while, but gets tedious and tiresome...and the cop-out ending made me literally throw the book across my bedroom. It's a search for the holy grail that finds nothing remotely grail-like.

One of the most intruiging, exciting, and enthralling books I have ever read. The buzz about this book a few years back really pushed me to buy it- and when I did I was very pleased. It's almost impossible to put down once you start reading it. Controversial or not, this is a must-read for sure!
