I was excited to buy this book and go home and read it. The back cover promised a wild ride of puzzles and codes reminiscent of The DaVinci Code, which I could not put down once I began the read.
I think the euphoria over what I thought might be a great book lasted through the first third, and then, unfortunately, it wore off. This was not a great book. The plot meanders all over the place, and it seems that deux ex machina was used to fill the holes throughout (instead of just at the end!)
I couldn’t feel for Ethan Gage, and I couldn’t hate him either. If the plot is bad then I need a great character to carry me along and whisper sweet nothingsin my ear to make me fall in love with the book. This did not happen.
Give Napoleon’s Pyramids a try if you like, but I’ll just give it a 2 star rating.
- 1 – hated it – not even worth the dead trees
- 2 – got through it, but wouldn’t keep it in my library
- 3 – really enjoyed it, was entertained, and would read more by this author
- 4 – loved this book, need to keep it on the bookshelves and recommend to a friend
- 5 – this blew my socks off and rocked my world
