Review
As with all Dan Brown books, this novel is full of detail and information which captivates the reader.
Personally, I found myself wanting more and more information whilst reading this book, which also lead to various independent researches on the web on the various information which the book talks about.
The main character, Rachel Sexton, was well thought out and is the perfect example of an independent and courageous woman. Although not as good or as well worked on as Robert Langdon, which is present in most other books, she provides the reader with the same amount of awe and excitement.
The settings and various other information are well proportioned and balanced, giving a sense of satisfaction to the eager reader. By the middle of the book, I felt breathless and in need of more information which was not long without. As the ending drew nearer, the book turned from a thriller/action genre to a more calm and romantic mood. Which is present in every book.
Overall, I found it personally satisfying and pleasing, with just the right amount of action,information and suspending moments. In my opinion, it isn't as good or fascinating as 'The Da Vinci Code' but equally captivating and interesting.
