very slow read because it was hard to get into. The premise is this Iranian bad guy trying to find a cache of old texts that he'll then use to blow the minds of the Western world, thereby causing us to collapse because Christianity has been shown to be a sham all these years. Really? Is this ...
Not a book I would pick on my own. I read it for a book club which is why i had to read it. I felt the pace was very slowand just could not get into the story.
