The book has interesting plot twists and serves as a good vehicle to inspire thought on the shroud. Corsi is very faithful to the latest science based on the non-fiction I have read so you can be confident that the information you are getting is accurate. There was some new science regarding gravity that I had not encountered but when I researched it I found the concepts to be substantiated. Some parts are a bit hoaky but others genuinely spur thought in ways that are new to me like when the characters first encounter the shroud and are awe struck despite having studied it for years. This was probably inspired by Corsi's own experience viewing the shroud. Write a review...I found this novel thought provoking, although I felt the author really stretched the bounds of reality; not so much with the physics, but with the psychology. I was suspect when the "psychiatrst" kept insisting the patient (Father Bartholomew) suffered from 'multiple personality disorder'. THis is a controversial diagnosis, and to jump to that conclusion before even seeing the patient just didn't work for me (not to mention that he termed it "multiple personality" rather than 'dissociative identity'). ALso, I just couldn't buy the premise that a person can "think" themselves into horrific injuries with no physical impetus. Also the interpersonal relationships seemed awkward and stilted. Overall, I found the novel interesting, but I don't think the author quite made the creative leap from non-fiction to fiction writing.
What do You think about The Shroud Codex (2010)?
Lots of mistakes in the text! Much like Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.

Grammatical errors aside, not as dull as I thought it would be.
