While I understand why this book will be appealing to some, it was a tough, plodding read for me.

In many respects, this is a similar novel to The Da Vinci Code - with a little more history and less ingenious puzzles. The book does parallel a fair amount of real history (covered in an Afterword) and goes down a path of questioning discrepancies in the New Testament and the validity of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection (so tread carefully if this will rile you up).

I didn't empathize much with the characters, wasn't very interested in the history, found the puzzles forced, and the character relationships bizarre.

2 stars out of 5
